We bought this lamp on a total whim; didn't know if it was really what we wanted or needed, but it's finding a spot in our living room. It's kind of fun to play around all of the color patterns, although we usually just leave it on a "non-moving" solid color, as our two cats get a little weird when it's pulsating in any fashion. More often than not, it's on a warm orange setting, as similar as we can get to a soft white light bulb. We do enjoy it, it's a fun piece.
