If you're thinking, "Need a pole lamp that works with my other WiZ stuff" and that's all that matters, there's plenty to like about this lamp. It is indeed a pole lamp, and it does indeed work with other WiZ stuff, and has access to basically the same color temperatures, RGB colors, and Dynamic color modes as other WiZ lights. As far as that goes, it does what it's suppose to do well enough. But I do have a few issues with it. It's really pretty expensive for what it is. It's basically two, slightly longer versions of the WiZ Bar Lights in a single physical package. Those lights can be had for just over half the price of this lamp. If your need is just for some kind of indirect or wash lighting and an LED light strip doesn't quite work for your application, you might consider those instead. As it is, though, the normal price for this should be somewhere South of $100. The product images provide a not-quite accurate impression of what this product is. They imply that this lamp is about 59 inches tall and that the light spans that entire range. The reality is, the "light" pole is only about 40 inches, and only slightly taller when inserted directly into the lamp base (this is the configuration the images show for the fully-lighted lamp). What brings it up to the implied 59 inches tall, is an un-lighted extension that can be fit between the base and the lighted bar. In that configuration, this lamp will leave a dimmer area near the base, and will not light the entire area that it's pointed at. There are, however, two possible upsides to the light bar itself being only 40 inches long. The first is that if you're placing this on the floor to provide a wash light up a wall, it's probaly a little easier to find a place it will fit in. The second is that should you use this behind a TV as a bias light, it will easily fit behind the width of a decent sized TV (55-inch diagonal or larger) without exposing the bar itself. You'd have to figure out how to mount it behind a TV, though, as there is no hardware included for that purpose. And honestly, the WiZ light bars or LED light strips would be easier and much cheaper. The overall brightness is quite a bit less than I was expecting. This is probably due to me using the 1600-lumen WiZ A21 White / Color bulbs in the rest of the room. A few of those can easily fill a large room with more than enough light, and this lamp really can't compete with that. Like any wash-type light designed to be facing a wall, there is some effect of the color of the wall itself. If you have bright / White and semi-gloss or glossy painted walls, it will probably appear brighter than it will with Beige or darker walls with a matte finish. This would be true with any brand of pole lamp, so it's just something to keep in mind. My plan had been to buy one of these to make sure I liked it, before buying at least one more. Based on my experience I'd be hard-pressed to get another one unless a) a room redesign requires another long wash light where an LED light strip would not work, and b) the price comes down to something more reasonable.
