Great task lamp for small / temporary spaces

After moving to a new home, I decided to downsize my older Ottlite, floor lamp model. If you don't have a dedicated space for your work or hobby, this task lamp is easy to deploy into a temporary workspace and pack back into the closet.
I ended up choosing this light due to the 97 CRI rating, vs 95 - not sure that'll make much of a difference, but when painting, I wanted the best color representation I find. This light also includes 32 LED lights. Being a task lamp, I enjoy the wide lamp format, and thick neck, allowing some light to reflect back onto the workspace. Definitely not as tall as the desk lamps, but enables you to keep a narrow, focused light.
The light dims to 3 settings. Honestly, I'm really skeptical anybody would use the lowest dim setting. Medium, maybe, but have so far used "high" every time. I'd be really curious if I'd be happy with the non-dimmable version of this light. If I could have a wish list, I'd love this light, but rather than the 3rd, dimmest setting, I'd replace it with a warmer light with less blue, similar to their desk lamps for evening use.
Relative to the "value" rating, I think the MSRP is a bit high, hence the 4-star rating. But the price at any other store for this same is much more inline with what I'd be willing to pay (where I gave it a "5"). Because of that, I ended up buying a second, doubling the light and reducing shadows on my work!
Excellent reading and sewing light. It has three levels of light- from dim, which I use for reading on my phone, to very bright clear light for detail work.
