I've been working from home for almost a year now, and thanks to the window behind me, I enter Zoom meetings in the semi-darkness. I used to show up in conference rooms quite often looking like an anonymous witness to one of those real crime shows. Colleagues commented that they couldn't remember what I looked like. However, I didn't want to buy anything that I would only use for online meetings. Luckily I found this table lamp. It's versatile and can be used as a ring light for Zoom meetings or as a table light for small tasks (I picked up a new hobby last year, and light helps make those embroideries stand out). It's pretty easy to place anywhere and flexible enough to direct the light the way I want it. multipurpose. Multidirectional. Multi-profitable! Thanks very much!
