This review is from: Lil Big Wonder White Accent Uplight (Misc.)

I live in an apartment that does not have a light fixture above the bathroom mirror. I wanted a light fixture that could mount on the wall above the medicine cabinet and plug into the nearby outlet without any substantial installation into my landlord's drywall. This lamp is perfect.

There is a transformer on the end of the cord (which may crowd your outlet if you have another appliance with such a transformer). This means the fixture itself is light (but it feels very solid). I drilled one hole, put in a drywall anchor, screwed in one screw with 1/8 inch of the head exposed, and hung this little lamp on the screw head. It has a slot on the flat back for exactly that purpose.

At first I felt like the light was too bright with too much glare. But then I pointed it towards the ceiling. The back part of the shade is a hemisphere of metal with many little holes. This perforated material faces down towards the sink, and the open end of the shade face the ceiling. In this arrangement, the lamp gives off great light, nice and bright, but with no glare. It is almost as nice as if my bathroom had a high quality light installed above the medicine cabinet in the first place.

The cord has a switch on it, which is pretty close to the lamp base--so that I have to reach up to turn it on and off. The switch is the kind of plastic casing in line with the cord with thin plastic wheel protruding from both sides. This is not my favorite kind of switch, but this is such a great light fixture for the purpose that I am thrilled.

Be forewarned that the metal gets very hot and can burn your fingertips.
