Lite Source LS-21673PS/FRO 3-Lite Table Lamp, Polished Steel with Frost Glass Shade
Just received this lamp and I am quite pleased. The lamp is tall and the shades are not in a straight row but gradually come away from the lamp with the top one being the one that is furthest away. The lamp must be placed on a table that is at least 17 inches in depth, depth being measured from the front of the table to the back of the table, no smaller. The width of the table that it is placed on should be at least 20" wide from the left side of the table to the right side of the table. If placed on a smaller surface the highest of the 3 shades will probably stick out over the table. Anyone walking nearby can easily brush against the shade and down goes the lamp, shades and all. You have the ability of using 1, 2 or 3 of the lights. You can dim them or for reading make them as bright as they are capable of being. The switch is located on the lamp base. I would have given this 5 stars had the arms been adjustable. A few years ago I purchased a lamp which also had arms like these the only difference being that the arms on the lamp which I purchased awhile ago are adjustable. When reading you can adjust the arms so that you can place the light where you feel it is the most comfortable and advantageous. For some reason the lamps that are sold today that are similar looking to these do not come with adjustable arms. Nevertheless this is a very attractive lamp which is also functional giving off quite a bit of light. It takes 3 halogen bulbs which can get extremely hot but give off more light then a regular bulb. I had the lamp facing forward and was able to read my book without any problem regarding having enough bright light to read by. Light dusting is all that is needed. Any dusting should be done when the lamp has been off for a while and is not hot. Considering that the arms are not adjustable this lamp is quite adequate for any activity that requires a bright light and is an attractive addition to any room.
CORRECTION: Just took another look at this item. It is somewhat adjustable. The shade and bulb portion situated at the top of each arm can be adjusted individually. This part of the lamp can be positioned so that they all face down or each of the 3 bulbs and shades can be adjusted individually by turning just that portion (the entire arm remains intact except for the top where the shade and bulb are connected to the arm) allowing you to utilize each of the 3 lights where they will do the most good. They will remain at the same level since they cannot be moved up or down but the light source for each arm can be adjusted regarding brightness (the switch that turns on the lamp can make the lamp dimmer or brighter)in addition to allowing you to reposition each of the 3 shade and bulb portions of the lamp. You can adjust the light source so that it is positioned just where you want the light to be directed. The lights can be individually directed to 3 different areas at once (facing down, to the left or to the right) if you so desire. Because of the fact that the light sources on the lamp can be repositioned, I have given this lamp 5 stars instead of 4.
