Not as bright as expected

This well-made lamp shine's its light over a WIDE area. In contrast, we were looking for an intense reading light for someone who has low vision. If you need a dimmable bright light to cover a large area, say a 3x4 foot table, this would be an excellent choice. If you want task lighting for a small area for reading, needlepoint, working with electronics or small mechanical items etc. continue looking. This lamp might work acceptably for those tasks if positioned within a foot of the work, but then it gets in the way. The lamp we are seeking could be positioned conveniently behind or to the side of the user, more of a spotlight than a floodlight.
