How bright is the lamp (not the laser for stars and cloud)? Does the lamp has its own swtich to turn on and off?

The lamp does have it's own on/off switch. It's just an ordinary lamp without the laser turned on.

The lamp does have its own switch however it's like a night light. No significant light output. I would skip the lamp part but definitely buy the projector. It's amazing

It has about 9 LEDs. Its a soft light, kind of like "mood light". I like it, but you can't read with it.

I don't know how many watts the lamp is (it's made up of 6 or 8 little LED lights). It's bright enough to serve as a reading lamp, but not bright enough to light an entire room. It does have its own switch, independent of the switch for the stars.

Lamp is more of a night light - not very bright and certainly not bright enough to read by. Yep, jlhas it's own on/off switch.

This is not a spotlight, the output is pretty uniform, and there are no visible "hot spots" in the lens. The lamp is supposed to be equivalent to 65 watts, but it appears brighter than that.

The lamp has two settings. Both are limited in how much area is lighted up. The larger setting spreads light about a foot, maybe 18". It is very targeted. The second setting spreads light about 6-8". I like my lamp. It's easy to adjust the aim to just what I need to read. I got one for my elderly father-in-law and he loves it.

I use the lamp all the time as a reading lamp. It is virtually on all day & night. I've had it for over a year & it hasn't gone out yet.

I have 3 of these and they are great. They do not turn off and on with a single touch. It lights up the lamp brighter with three touches and on the fourth will shut off.

I use it as a bedside reading lamp. The light intensity can be controlled, and I don't keep it anywhere near as bright as it could get. While it throws off plenty of light, I think you would have to be reading/writing relatively close to the lamp, since it's not large. My favorite lamp.

I do own one, and it is backlit, you can turn it off, and it has multiple levels of brightness.

yes it is plenty bright to read, no it only has on/off. You could cover the lamp with masking tape to dim it.

No, it is not bright enough. My mother has the same problem and we haven't been able to find anything that helps at this point. We purchased this lamp and she still says there is not enough light.

It has a switch. You could press on it to turn it off and on and also dim it. A lot of light. Great light for the price.

The lamp is very bright. However, because you point it in a direction, it would be kind of a weird way to light a whole room (it would be like having the sun in the corner). If that's your goal, I think something like a halogen floor lamp (that bounces light up off the ceiling) would be better. I've used the Atlas lamp for extra reading light when it's behind me, but we put a silver tip bulb in because the bulb itself pointing at you is really bright.

Hi Jerome, I read a lot in bed, and I use this lamp. The light is a bit whiter than I would like, but it is bright enough for a good reading, and at the same time very discrete for any other person sleeping in the same bedroom. Hope his helps !Regards,Rodrigo

YES, it has an on/off switch on the body of the lamp. BTW, we have had more complimentary comments on this lamp than any other we have ever owned. I absolutely love it.

There is no real "brightness" to this lamp. It provides a nice mellow light. Suitable for recreational reading, but no late night studying kind of light. There is a foot switch on the floor, where you tap your foot on it and it turns on or off. Mine does not have dimmable lights. Just flat on or off. Hope this helps:)

No the lamp only becomes gradually brighter as it wakes you. There are however numerous brightness levels from very bright to almost completely dark. It must be manually adjusted though.

Hello.... the lamp has 2 switches.. the main bulb and then there is another switch that controls 3 smaller bulbs and can be lighted either as a single, double and all at the same time. I recommend getting it.. very nice lamp.

Yes, stars are green and constantly move - it's not a representation of the night sky. We use the lamp as a night light for our boys and they like it - it's more like a plasma ball than a star map.
