Plug it into the wall, not the ceiling. It is the fastest way to fix a dark corner in a rental. The pick when you cannot add an overhead light.
Available at Amazon · Affiliate link: if you buy through it Amazon pays us a small fee, and your price does not change. How this works.

Why this one works in a rental
- No wiring and no ceiling work, so a landlord has nothing to object to
- 69 inches tall with the light aimed upward, which lifts a dark corner instead of lighting a tabletop
- Dimmable with a remote, so it works as task light and as evening light in the same room
Put it behind or beside the seating, never overhead. Uplight from floor level is what makes a small room read as bigger.
For placement, read lighting a small room when you cannot rewire.
