This is the best gift I have ever been given. It's a portable light that can be plugged in or taken anywhere with a three hour battery. It comes with seven settings with varying colours, brightness and themes. My favourite is a candle setting because it mimics flickering light, which I use in the bathroom while taking a bath . There is a setting bright enough to read a book with at night which I use as well. There is more than you can do with this if you purchase a bridge from Hue which can be controlled by a smart device, and even connect to other hue lights.
