Good weighty base,then 4ft straight up, then around 18" of "snake" with a really good light area from a tiddly little head - all adjustable of course.
And no "centre" to the light.

Very easy on the eyes - you can adjust to peep over your shoulder if you want !
Thank you for you reply.

I had searched Ikea web and it seems that this reading lamp utilizes halogen lamp as well, which, as currently I've owned, produces a large spot on my device. How does it ensure there's no white spot on devices?

e-ink isn't like paper that diffuses lights completely, its still somewhat reflective surface can make chosing of light source a pain.
