It looks much better than this "in person". The camera makes the LED lamp look much "hotter" than it really is. The gloss white paint on the back plate really helped with light diffusion. It is brighter at the top, of course, but the dial is well illuminated overall - again, not overly bright on top as these pictures seem to indicate.
