Discount Normande Lighting HS2-263-BC Halogen Desk Lamp

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program It looks nice, but on close inspection there are some quality (and quality control) issues.

The base is very heavy (this is good) and the lamp is very hard to tip over. There are two brightness levels that are controlled by a rotary knob. The illumination is fairly directional (straight down) with the illuminated area being about 30 inches across. This provides good illumination of the work area of a desk. Because it is directional, it does not provide much light for the rest of the room. It is not meant to.

My lamp came with a white frosted lens. I would have preferred the green one in the picture. There were many small imperfections in the paint confirming that this is not a high quality product. Also, the rotary knob is cheap plastic and the paint on the knob was not uniform.

It is a halogen light, so it gets very hot, especially on the brightest setting. For a desk lamp, this could be very dangerous and THIS LAMP SHOULD NOT BE USED AROUND CHILDREN.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The thing you'll notice first about this desk lamp is the base. It's giant (nearly eight inches across) not to mention extremely heavy--the base must weigh most of the lamp's six pounds. At least it won't be knocked over easily. The lamp works fine, though halogen gets *HOT* and don't last forever and replacement bulbs are expensive. The "rotary dimmer" isn't really a dimmer; it's a round switch for the two brightness settings: LOW and HIGH. Came with white frosted light, not green as shown in photo. Not sure what "Black Chrome" finish is, but just think of it as glossy black. The lamp is tilt-adjustable in two places (near the base and near the head), although neither can be adjusted single-handedly.

Personally, I think lamps like this are overpriced. Functionality-wise, this seems OK. I'll update my review if anything changes.

Best Deals for Normande Lighting HS2-263-BC Halogen Desk Lamp

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am thrilled with the Normande Lighting HS2-263-BC Halogen Desk Lamp. This lamp is perfect for a small or medium desk. It is very durable, heavy enough so that it won't tip off the desk if bumped, and the lighting is great for a small area. My home desk sits about 30 feet from our bed and yet my wife is able to enjoy sleeping all while I am busy working at my desk on the computer. The light does not interfere at all with a computer. The lamp itself is black color and professional looking.

Overall, I do recommend this lamp if you are looking for a lamp for a desk. The lighting itself has two levels and neither are overbearing.

Honest reviews on Normande Lighting HS2-263-BC Halogen Desk Lamp

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This lamp has two light settings and is also adjustable. As mentioned by many, it does put out some heat. I wouldn't have it too near your face. My house is rather dark and I got this primarily for when I do needlework. It also helps when I am trying to do extensive reading in less than optimal light.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This lamp is gorgeous. It looks very expensive and classy. It's super sturdy and easily adjustable. The base is a little bigger than it looks in the picture. The lamp is really very nice...it looks even nicer in person. It does get really hot, but that's part of all halogens, I think.
