The first is that the lamp&#8217;s neck&nbsp;is adjustable a full 180 degrees, reaching up to 22&#8243; (56 cm) in height. The second is the touch sensitive power button and dimmer, which goes in five steps, from a dim night light to 40%, 60%, 80%, and then 100% brightness. The third is something of a surprise, but quite thoughtful, extra, a built-in USB socket by the power adapter, which outputs 5V 1000mA.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fYWTrsHjuUs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I really like how the lamp looks on my desk and of course how much light it provides.
