This is a very nice lamp and very bright, with a strong clip. My only complaint is that the light bulb is not centered in shade, it touches the side and I don't have the tools to straighten it out. It is very sleek and works well though.

This product has:

sleek look

quality fit and finish

strong clamp

functional light source with halogen bulb

built in switch on cord operates well

solid feel

Unfortunately these qualities are "outweighed" by the poor functioning goose neck that sags under the weight of the product. This is a common complaint for goose neck lighting products. The other issue I had was the halogen bulb came dislodged from the receptacle. Reinserting was challenging and I'm not confident it will stay in place. Also, the side of the unit has open slits presumably for ventilation, but these allow too much light through, out the side of the light. I mention this because I have a similar light that does not, and I prefer it.

This is a quality light, but designers need to engineer their goose neck supporting structures better, or they are not useful. The other light I purchased I could not find so I decided to try this "more expensive" product and am disappointed. The light will position itself ok if located high enough that a "sagging" position will not compromise it's effectiveness.

This light is nice and bright, but is very very heavy. It weighs itself down and won't stay in place. The pads inside the clips fall out. Also, the light being halogen is very focused and has a small area that it lights well. I tried using this on my long arm quilting machine. It doesn't light up a broad enough area for my needs. Also, the screen around the bulb, which as to be in place because the bulb is very hot, fell off and now rattles around. I was disappointed.

Honest reviews on Lite Source LS-156BLK Seeker Metal Clip-On Lite, Black

The polished steel of this clip-on lamp doesn't look or feel cheap. The clip itself is steel as well.

I use this lamp to read in bed. It complements the two lamps from the nightstands by providing light in the mid section of the bed, and marries well with the iron bed headboard it is clipped on.

I have been using this light for a couple of years now and it is fairly reliable. Never had to change the halogen bulb. However exercise caution because it gets very hot (-1 star). The original halogen bulb is a little on the yellow side, which gives a soft light. This can be nice if you read in bed for example, but not if you want true colors to come out.

Best feature of this light is that it really looks well-made and classy for a clip-on compared to the competition, even after two years.

The light was easy to install and works well. However the description says the bulb is not included so another was ordered. Now I have a spare. Also I expected the goose neck adjustment to be more flexible. Part of the issue is that the light is too heavy for the neck which then is not able to maintain the set position. I expected a little more than received.
