Questions
Good to know
What's the difference between the two mounts?
Freestanding comes on a sturdy base, so it can sit anywhere: shelf, desk or nightstand. Between the books has a slim panel instead of a base: slide it between two books and the lamp leans out over your shelf like a little street light.
How is it powered?
It's battery powered, so there are no cables to hide on your shelf.
Is it bright enough to read by?
It's a soft accent light made for atmosphere, like a night light or candle glow, rather than a reading lamp.
Is it a good gift?
It's an easy, charming gift for book lovers, and a perfect add-on to any of our book nooks.
