Pure white lights strong but makes the room feel cold, like a medical office. Growing a table for guests matters more to some households than lighting, and this circular table with adjustable lid grows differently instead. Ideal if you're reading. If a table that grows for guests matters more to you than lighting, the budget extendable coffee tables cover that need for very little money.
Warm white softens, creates an atmosphere. Perfect for evening, watching a film, chatting. Many people switch to warm white once evening comes.

Installation: wall socket or battery?
A wall socket means a trailing wire. Hide it under the sofa, behind furniture, or along a skirting board with clips. Never hang it on a rocking chair. Marble changes the whole feel of a lit living room, and the extendable marble coffee tables combine that stone look with a top that opens for guests.
A rechargeable USB battery means charging every three or four days of use. That's little if you switch it on one evening hour. That's a lot if you switch it on from late afternoon to midnight.
Key point That's a lot if you switch it on from late afternoon to midnight.
