Perfect lighting for our outdoor dinning needs

➤These are good quality, well made, sturdy rechargeable lamps. I am using these as bedside lamps in areas where there is no plug nearby. It is great to be able to provide light and not have to run an extension cord to get it there.

➤The base of these lamps is a solid metal that provides as good amount of weight. You can choose what height you would like the lamps to be by installing one or two pieces of the lamp pole. Personally I find them a bit more wobbly if you have both lamp pole pieces in. Overall, it is still pretty sturdy, but since I am using these beside the bed, where you are not always fully awake and aware of what you at hitting, I prefer to have them at the lower height where they are less likely to fall over.

➤The lamps are charged by USB-C, which is plugged into the bottom of the lamp. The lamp can be used while plugged in, so you are not stuck if it loses power on you, but it does not look very elegant, so this is really just a backup option and not a regular way to use it. You receive two 3 ft charging cords with the set, no charging block is included.

➤Operation of the lamps is smooth and consistent, as long as you actually hit the center of the top of the lamp where the power switch is. If you do not tap all the way to the center it will not work, something you have to learn if you have it beside your bed and are blinding reaching over to get some light. There is an actually power symbol on the top of the lamp to show where you have to tap, this really ruins the elegant look of the lamp and it would have been better if they had put something more discreet to indicate where to tap. Ideally a larger tapping area would have been beneficial as well.

➤You tap to turn the lamps on, the next two taps change the light colour, and a 4th tap will turn it off again. You can also long press or hold your tap and that will change the brightness of the lamp. The lamp will save the last setting, so if you have turned the brightness down it will return to that setting the next time you turn it on
