It's a lamp I'd recommend to everyone. As far as being eye candy, It looks ultra-expensive and I recieve tons of compliments on it. Although I consider it an artpiece in itself, it's not overwhelmingly artsy so there's virtually nowhere it would look out of place except maybe in a countryside themed home. The dimming feature is the greatest...you slide a bar at the base near where's the plugged in and although such halogen can be overwhelming, you can find a range anywhere from major floodlight power to cozy intimacy.

It has a heavy base and is pretty well designed. The lamp housings get extremely hot. They are directional but do not adjust them after the lights have been on for a short while. One of the bulbs got smashed in shipment. I upgraded to a crisper GE Reveal bulb, which I'd recommend as the OEM bulbs wear out.Best Deals for Lite Source LS-9936SILV Studio 4-Beam Floor Lamp, Silver
I rely heavily on the reviews of others, then don't do my own reviews. I'm going to try to rectify that. This lamp appealed to me and I'm not sure why, maybe a stadium lighting look, and it looked like it would do the trick of lighting up a dark living room (it did not). I ordered it in spite of reservations and some negative reviews. Lesson learned. The lamp looks spindly as the pole is really thin compared to the top it's sporting (although it's very sturdy), and it seems undersized compared to what I expected from the picture. It's really heavy which is good, and it puts out a fair amount of light but nothing like the light output I expected considering the 4 bulbs. There's a feature where you can adjust the head of the lamp and the individual bulbs, but after a year of use I've not found this feature particularly useful. The floor apparatus for turning it off and on is neat although the cord is short when considering placement, and when it's DARK it's sometimes hard to locate. My husband is totally "floor control" challenged and always has to bend over to find the control. Plus having to use the floor control to turn the lamp off and on limits where it can be used. Because I actually hated it so much in my living room which is the room for which it was bought, I now have it beside my bed and now have to get "out" of bed to control it, or prop the controls on something that I can reach from the bed, and that's not working out well so it's going to be moved, again. The lamps are somewhat difficult to change out. The cord has separated (the usual one strand has become two) and that's a new one for me. I've had corded items my entire life and have never seen one just spontaneously come apart. The wires are still encased in plastic so I consider it safe and have concluded it's just an inferior cord. Others who have commented about the Styrofoam packaging exploding are absolutely correct. I felt warned about that due to reviews so wasn't shocked when it happened but was still not prepared for the MESS it created. The lamp has a unique appearance but is a purchase I regret. The prospect of returning it was more daunting than having to just keep it and make the best of it, but had it been purchased locally, it would have been returned.Honest reviews on Lite Source LS-9936SILV Studio 4-Beam Floor Lamp, Silver
This lamp is awesome looking and has a very nice dimmer to bring a room from bright to intimate with the swipe of the switch. The 4 bulbs get extremely hot so you may want to swap them out if you care about efficiency or the extra heat, those who live in non-tropical climate should have no worries. All 4 bulb assemblies can rotate individually which makes for a very customizable lighting experience.The reason I'm giving this product 4 stars is because it comes packaged in the horrible processed styrofoam that explodes into a billion pieces on contact. I am ordering a 2nd one of these now and I will make sure to open the package outside so I don't have to clean up for days on end.
In summary: awesome modern lamp with rotatable bulbs, gets slightly hot, packaged in a very inconsiderate way!
