neat new light

i bought two new desk-type lamps in the past week or so... i like small lamps... small footprint, narrow necks, small lighted area... both of the new lamps are not of that shape, but i bought them at the typical everything store and not at an expensive lamp shop, so i got what i paid for... we needed these, one for the living room and one for the bedroom, because we did not have low lighting easily turned off from the seated area... and these were the only two i found...

the first one i do not like... it is halogen and gets way too hot... it's switch is on the wire... it stays in the living room... the second one is led, so cool and low energy and much much better... switch on the base helps too... it is three watts, 12 inches tall, and puts out 120 lumens in bright white light color which is plenty bright, in fact, too bright, but it is what it is and all i found so far... it is this one, to be precise)... though esthetically it is lacking greatly (hey, it's distributed by target and made in china - and wal-mart is supposed to be the bad guy?... but anyway, what can we expect), it sits comfortably on the left of the portable laptop desk i use when i sit the portable mouse on the armrest and move the laptop over to make room... it's a squeeze to have both on the laptop desk, but a wider laptop desk would not fit between the arms of the big green chair so compromise we will, and do...

searching target, i might like this one, but i like more flexible necks so maybe not... i like the flat head or even more, this (though smaller would be good) over a bell head, though this bell is sized better... more likely i'd prefer one of these two once i researched the differences... dyson is cool pablo shows promise i want a wayjun but don't want the quantity required... i will likely buy ten of these eventually... there's always this lot and this seems simple... i wonder if this one shines too much like on the screen... this one seems to fit most of my preferences... anyway,

maybe after raking in some income for a while i will splurge on some ikea or other higher end lighting like some of those in the previous paragraph... remember when i used to have time to ramble on about any little thing?... well, this entry, while recording the information i just took time to research, was slipped in here to give us the impression i still do...
