This picture light has some nice features, especially at the price point. It is made of plastic but seems like it's decent quality. The magnetic ball is strong enough to hold a position but it's still easy to reposition. The light itself comes with 3 settings for warm white, cool white and bright white and you can adjust the brightness level. You can also put it on a timer. The gold color is more muted and my only complaint is the screws provided are regular silver, so they really stick out if looking at them, but luckily the light itself obstructs it from being too noticeable. Battery life seems decent but I dont turn it on everynight. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase.
