Both my boys got one for Christmas. The lamps illuminate the room nicely (like a night light) or can be synced to the sound of their video games (which gets wild).
These lamps are brighter than I expected and add a lovely ambient glow to my living room. I used IFTTT to connect my TV and lights, so when I turn on the TV, the lamps sync in DreamView mode, creating a truly immersive experience.
