I bought 2 of these lamps from Walmart.com back in June (2010) because they were having a "roll back" sale and they were $35 each. Amazon had them listed for the double the price but have since come down in price and now the $49 price tag is the same as anywhere else on the internet.

The main reason I bought these lamps were because my husband and I were expecting a baby and we thought they would be good bedside lamps. They are SUPER. They have 3 degrees of brightness and that first dim light is absolutely perfect as a night light and we used it as one the first week the baby was born. It's just the right amount of light where you can see to look in on the baby, get a feeding done and not have any harsh light hurting your eyes (or the baby's eyes) at 3:00 am. The second and third degrees of brightness are fine, too, perfect for reading or lighting up the room in general.

The lamp shade itself is a bit wider/bigger than I expected so I can't push the lamps very close to the wall, they are more in the center of my nightstand, which is fine.

The convenience of these lamps is worth a lot, especially for new parents needing to get up multiple times in the middle of the night. The last thing you need to think about is turning on a light switch it's great to be able to roll over in bed and touch any of the metal parts to turn the lamp on or off. And I can imagine when the baby becomes a toddler and older that he will enjoy turning on and off the lamp by merely touching it! I recommend this lamp to all new parents and anyone who likes the convenience of touching a lamp base to have it turn on/off.

Update: July 12, 2011.

I bought another lamp for my baby's room and it works great. He LOVES tapping on the lamp with his hands and watching the lamp turn on/off. However, he started banging on the glass lamp shade and it broke. Warning: although the lamp shade is pretty thick glass and sturdy, a baby pounding on it WILL break it! Luckily nobody got cut with the broken glass and we easily found a replacement lamp shade at IKEA which works great. I still love the ease and convenience of these lamps and will probably buy another one or two for our guest room now.

The lamp is cute and the touch feature is what I'd been wanting for my nightstand. However (am I the only one having this problem??!) sometimes in the middle of the night the lamp turns itself on. It starts out on the lowest level...then maybe a hour or two later it kicks it up a notch to brightness level 2.... etc. Not every night, just some nights. I had insomnia last week and was able to watch this annoying phenomenon go on all night. Now I just unplug it after I get in bed at night. Kind of defeats the simplicity factor that drew me to the lamp in the first place...but oh well.

This lamp turns on and off randomly by itself. We used this lamp in our bedroom and it woke us in the middle of the night by turning itself on! This is a beautiful lamp, but we can no longer use it because it is unpredictable when it will turn on and off. Buyer Beware.

Honest reviews on LumiSource Doe Li Touch-On 19-Inch Metal Table Lamp

Not only is the technology of these lamps phenomenal, but their styling is very attractive. We bought two of these lamps recently to replace ones we had on our bedside tables, and we are absolutely delighted with them in particular their ease of use. No more fumbling or reaching for the switch, knocking over books or noisily pushing the lampshade against the wall. Just a light touch of your finger anywhere on the base or on the curved stand (or even the little metal cap on top of the frosted glass shade) turns them on...to three levels of brightness in sequence. It has to be your actual finger not even your nail will do it. In addition, these lamps are slim and graceful, and the light they produce is warm and soft. Even my wife, who is cautious with new technology and has a very critical eye for design, gives them five stars.

The base has a dent and upright "stem" loose. I use a Laredo TX forwarding address to receive items in Mexico. The cost to return is too great. Love the lamp in general but not when damaged.
