You need to know that these type of dimmers will eventually fail. You will know when the switch turns on/off but doesn't dim. What causes this? Everyday stuff: A light bulb going out, spikes in power. Just keep that in mind when you get this.

These are simple, durable, and work. After going through a bunch of noisy or poorly built dimmers I've settled on these and have several that have held up to daily use for years now.

Do note these get fairly warm. I would make sure to leave them out in a well-ventilated area. Definitely don't cover this in pillows, blankets, or paper goods. This goes for most any dimmer, if you know how dimmers work, and why they tend to get warm (or very hot).

Other than that this is a highly recommended piece of goods for the price.

Update: Have had two fail. The first @around 3 years, and the second at just over 2 years of use. I am ordering two more. I can spare < $5/year for a quiet dimmer that works. It is cheap plastic, and not built to last.

If I could figure out who makes Holtkoetter's floor slide-dimmer those are the best I have ever owned. I have one almost 20 years old still going, perfect. You might try a lighting store that carries Holtkoetter. But IIRC they aren't cheap. Haven't found anything comparable in a cheap dimmer, so I'll stick with these for now.

Have only been using this for a few days. Hooked it up yesterday to new bulb. No problems using different settings. Bulb doesn't flicker at all even at the dimmest. No hum. The tiny light on it is nice in the dark. Stays on all the time funny it goes dimmer the brighter the light is on. No problems like I read about with other ones. Price is good. Will see how it holds up and post if problem in future.

Honest reviews on Westek 4010W 300W Full Range Table Top Slide Control Dimmer, White

I have this dimmer hooked to two prairie style lamps in the living room, each of which has two 60w bulbs. Total 240w. The dimmer will bring them down below the level of candlelight. Excellent when watching a movie on TV.

After several hours of use the dimmer feels slightly warm to the touch. No surprise and no problem there: A dimmer is a rheostat, which regulates resistance. More resistance > less voltage > more heat. Perfectly normal and causes no problems. Some dimmers are noisy; this one is as silent as a tomb.

It's a good product. Now that I've tried it, I'll get one or two more for other lights.

For me, this lamp is perfect in just about every way as a desk lamp. The height is just right, moves every way needed to direct the light right where you need it, the light output is just right for reading/working, and the light is focussed one direction and doesn't scatter all over the room. I don't think I'd ever pay full price for this light, and was lucky enough to buy ours for less than $50.

This lamp is just right, not bulky, focused, looks great and puts out the right light for the laptop or reading for extended periods of time. It does not scatter or backblast light, puts it just where you point it and this makes working for long periods very easy on the eyes. If you get this one on sale, grab it.

Minus two stars for price. At $354 (purchased Oct 15 2013), this lamp is twice the cost of what would be (somewhat) reasonable. It's a unique design and fits my decor well. It comes with a cheap plastic foot-dimmer that's I'm afraid will start smoldering any minute, but other than that it's a solid, well-built lamp definitely worth $154. Just not $354.

I don't like the one star designation "I hate it" but this lamp as far as I am concerned is a poor piece of merchandise. I have returned two lamps because the switch does not work. It has a twist rotation movement which will not twist after a few weeks. It is thus impossible to turn on the lamp. I fear the entire product line is subject to recall.

Today September 2 2013, I have informed Amazon.com that the third replacement lamp is also defective and i have asked for a refund of my purchase price. A terrible experience.

At first I thought that the lamp couldn't be left in the straight position, but after a good tug, I was able to straighten it completely or swing it out. There were a couple of issues, however. When 150W incandescent bulbs are used, the bulb in the higher position sticks up above the glass. I had to put a 150W in the bottom holder and a smaller 100W bulb in the higher socket. The lamp is meant to hold two 150 W bulbs, so this is silly. A glass bowl that was a bit higher would have solved this. Also, a silver cap near the top is crooked. This part came preassembled and cannot be straightened. This is minor, however. If CFLs are used, the company recommends that they only be used on the high setting, so if you're planning to use those bulbs, be aware that you will not have the option of using a lower setting. The price at this site was the lowest I found for this lamp. I originally bought it at a local store for $179. Fortunately, I hadn't opened the box yet and was able to return it when I found the lamp on Amazon.

We were looking for a bright lamp and since they no longer sell 500W halogen lamps, this was the next best alternative. The lamp is attractive, in a coquettish way, and the light is bright (though not as bright as the stars deep in the heart of Texas) for a non-halogen lamp. I would recommend this product.

A good lamp is a necessity for those who spend a number of hours working at a desk, and if you're like some of us, a number of these ending up being donated to yard sales or thrift shops after a few months or years. Incandescent lamps have their drawbacks, and flickering fluorescent lamps can lead to eyestrain. Halogen lamps are bright, but may be harsh, and they are usually hot to the touch. LED lamps are the newest of the breed, and as they enter the generation of serious desk lamps, these may provide an almost ideal solution for many.

The MIU COLOR Cool White Ultra-thin Eye-Protection Gooseneck LED Desk Lamp falls into this newer generation of well-crafted lighting fixtures that offer more than one sees at first glance. Besides offering excellent light quality, it also offers a detachable, portable head that that can be used as an emergency outdoor light source, making it good for a camping or utility light when needed. Have spent a couple of months living with this light so far, and here my highly-subjective key points found so far with this desk lamp, then followed with some expanded details.

◆ Likes:

+ Excellent light quality; provides comfortable, even illumination at ~5500K

+ 32 LEDs in three rows; output can be varied easily in three intensity setting

+ Attractive desk lamp; highly functional as a portable light source as well

+ 1000mAH Lithium battery; charges to full power in 6 hours or less

+ USB adapter in base; output of 5V 1200mA, useful for charging smartphones, etc.

+ Easy to assemble; takes less than sixty seconds

+ Well-written instruction manual

◆ On the Fence:

± 1000mAH Lithium battery is not user-replaceable

◆ First Look:

This MIU COLOR Portable Desk Lamp comes packaged in an attractive and easy-to-open briefcase-style box, and it's the type that's easy to wrap for gift-giving. Inside you will find the following:

▪ Weighted metal base with a USB port

▪ Light headpiece with 32 LEDs

▪ Lamp gooseneck device

▪ USB charging cable measuring about 59 inches long

▪ Easy to follow user manual

◆ In Use:

After reading the user manual, assembly of this lamp took less than sixty seconds... it's that easy, and good to see that the product designers took the time to make it virtually good-proof. Hooked the USB cable first to a notebook PC for its initial overnight charge, but then switched to a RCA Compact iPad Charger, where it has remained since, as personally its primary purpose is as a desk lamp. The USB port on the base of the unit has been excellent for charging my Android smartphone every night.

The light quality is excellent, and for use as a reading light or when working late hours with a computer, I have experienced no eyestrain whatsoever. There are three light settings on the lamp head, and with a simple touch of a finger, the blue illuminated on/off switch can go from low (100 lux) up to high (500 lux); the high setting is about the equivalent office lighting, and I personally found the low and medium settings best for reading and general computer work.

As a small note, I found the high and medium setting to be invaluable when recently rebuilding a PC that had been fried... it happens. Removing the LED lamp head and using it to get inside of the computer to repair and re-install components made such detail work much easier. It's easy to see that besides for camping and other outdoor uses, the mobility of this removable LED head makes it very useful for portable detail work.

Have been using a Halogen Arm Desk Lamp for a few years now, and besides the irritation of trying to find 50W 12V bi-pin halogen bulbs locally when one goes, that lamp is very hot to the touch. If one has youngsters around, lamps like this can be dangerous. But the MIU COLOR desk lamp is cool to the touch when it has been left on even at its highest settings. It also provides better overall illumination, and is much easier on the eyes in overall use.

This same company also offers another interesting product, the MIU COLOR Portable Mini Bed Light, which also doubles as an LED reading light, a baby night light, an LED dimmable desk light, emergency light and more. The reviews are good on this AAA battery powered product, so if you have the need for an innovative product that can be clipped to a variety of places, this one may be worth considering.

◆ Interesting Uses:

Camera users take note: for photographic purposes, this MIU COLOR desk lamp is excellent for either desktop or field macro use. Color temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin, and generally the ideal is to have a light source that's rated at 5500K, which approximates average noon daylight. This is the color temperature that color film is balanced to, which means that when shooting using daylight film settings, the photograph will record white objects as white and all the colors in an image will appear natural on the film.

Incandescent lamps are not good as their light offers a yellowing cast. Fluorescent desk lamps have a greenish cast, and halogen lamps may be bright, but are hot and can vary in their light output and Kelvin temperature. Tried this lamp using regular non-corrected daylight settings with both a Nikon DSLR and an older 35mm film camera (some of us still have them), and the image results were excellent.

A sample of this lamp was provided by the manufacturer in exchange for a fair and objective review.

◆ Summary:

This MIU COLOR Cool White Ultra-thin Eye-Protection Gooseneck LED Desk Lamp exceeded my expectations as a working light that has been used on a daily basis. It has replaced my halogen desk lamp altogether, as its overall light quality has proven to be an eye saver. It's easy to assemble in under a minute, and the build quality is first rate. This one is highly recommended as a 5-star product to all who are looking for a good desk lamp that offers more than just that. It's an excellent value, bright and functional.

The MIU lamp is so much more than just a flexible and portable table lamp. I'd say it's actually more like a large rechargeable battery pack (the base) with a light attached to it. This design makes it far more functional than a basic lamp.

The MIU lamp comes in 3 main pieces that you put together, the base, the flexible neck, and the flat LED lamp. The base is wide and flat, so it keeps the lamp stable on a table's surface even when bending the neck piece at different angles. Contained in the base is a rechargeable battery which powers the lamp. There is a USB cable included for recharging the battery. On the back of the base there is a USB port should you want to charge a device using a USB charging cable. This feature is what makes the base remind me of a large portable battery pack. Should you not even need to use the lamp, you can still recharge devices like smartphones using this USB port located on the base of the lamp.

The flexible neck of the lamp provides power from the base, to the detachable LED lamp portion on the top. This piece is screwed into the base, and a large jack like connection is used at the top to attached the LED lamp.

The LED lamp piece is long and flat, and can be detached from the base to provide portable light for a little while. There is a built in plastic loop on the end of the lamp, so you can hang it from something like a hook or strap should you want to. On the lamp there is a single touch-sensitive power button that controls all the light's functions. You simply touch the button rather than press down on it. To power the lamp on or off, you hold your finger on the button for a second or so. To switch between the lamp's 3 brightness settings, you tap the power button and it cycles through each of them.

This LED lamp gives off quite a bit of light, and can be especially handy in a power outage. When the battery has been charged, it doesn't need to be plugged in, and it can provide many hours of bright light. And with the detachable top LED section, you can use it like a portable flashlight should you not want to carry the whole lamp around with you. These unique features are what make the MIU lamp so much more than just another table lamp.

A sample was provided for review.

This is a nicely designed LED desk lamp that has several unique features. It comes unassembled but it literally can be assembled in less than a minute. The lamp does not come with a USB wall charging source and the is the only real complaint that I can state., You can charge it with any USB AC wall source and the recommended power is 5 VDC at 1000 mAh. The top of the lamp stands 20 inches tall. The USB cable powers the lamp and also charges it. There is a lithium battery in the lamp head that has a battery capacity of 1000 mAh. The power from the cable also powers a rear USB port on the back of the lamp that will output 500 mAh at 5VDC to allow you to charge an IPod or a smart phone.

There is a touch sensitive switch on the back of the lamp head that can be used to turn the lamp onto high, medium or low light settings. There are 32 Mini LEDs in the lamp head that can output 100 to 500 lumens. The lamp head can be removed from the lamp in a second and it will operate 1 hour on high beam, 2 to 3 hours on the medium beam and 8 hours on the low setting. The battery can be recharged over 500 times.

This is an excellent desk reading lamp that also acts like an emergency light or it can be used to take with you while camping or traveling. The lamp features a highly adjustable goose neck and the head can be tilted also. Please see my video. This is an ideal desk lamp for a child's room as it operates on low voltage and because it uses LEDs it operates at a very cool level of temperature that will not burn your skin or start a fire if knocked over into papers or books. It is very safe when compared to the high heat of a halogen bulb for example that would easily burn your skin quickly.

What's in the box?

* A brief instruction manual

* The weighed lamp base

* The LED lamp head

* The goose neck extension for the lamp

* The USB charging cable that is 59 inches long with a round plug end for the lamp base

The light out of the lamp is clear and cool and easy to read with. You can just grab the lamp head or take the entire lamp with you without the power cable and use it. The lamp head even has a loop on the top of it so you can hang it or put a lanyard on it to carry in case of emergencies. I like this lamp a lot and it is a unique concept in that it is a good desk lamp but also one that is portable and can even work while it is disassembled. I rated it 5 stars.

I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation and I promised to provide a fair and honest review.

I have been searching for LED eye-protection lamp for a while, as I am a reading lover. And I have to say this desk lamp is the best I've ever used.

Pro:

Take little desk space, super streamlined looking

Three brightness levels, eye protection, no glare, no heat production

USB charging port, convenient to charging my phone while reading

Detachable design, easy to assemble as a torch light

Lamp neck is flexible in 360 degrees

Great package, good enough to be a gift directly and repackage up as a carry case

Con:

It seems the battery cannot be replaced.

It is perfect if the base could be used as power bank.

Since I got this lamp, I used it every night, so far so good! Highly recommend!

I purchased two of these for my daughter's 7th birthday party. She loves them however one of them wasn't working properly right out of the box it was making a grinding noise. The fix was very simple, so anyone that has had the same problem, here is what you have to do: Unplug the lamp, make a mark on both halves before separating them, this will make putting the two halves back together easy, take the globe and the bulb off turn the base upside down and remove the 3 screws, pull the two halves apart. You will see that the rotating is controlled by the small motor with a gear on it, the motor and gear are adjustable, just loosen the screw and you can move the entire motor and gear closer to the center gear, tighten the screw back up and the problem is fixed. I also cleaned up and put a little grease on the gears. Reassemble the unit in reverse; make sure to align the marks you made earlier.

One other thing I did while I had it apart was make it so the lamp can be hung upside down. If you look at the base, there are 3 little "feet" there that are open to the inside of the lamp. I just took 3 equal length pieces of heavy string and tied knots on the end and ran them from the inside out. You have to make sure the knot is big enough so that it doesn't pull through the hole. On the outside I tied the 3 pieces together, making sure they stayed the same length. Now you can just hang the lamp upside down from a hook or something on the ceiling or it can still be used on a table top.

Really very, very fun and it works great. Actually I bought this on behalf of my stepdaughter to give to her dad, my husband. We got an Xbox Kinect system and a dance game and thought it would be fun to add in some disco lighting for when we play it.

It exceeds all our expectations and we highly recommend it. It's not just for teenagers, it's fine for anyone who just wants a disco effect.

Motor is completely silent too, a concern I read in other reviews of other disco lights.

14 Inch Dragon Touch Lamp II Review

Just to give a warning to people who like their lamps put all together when they get them, they are not put together.

I was disappointed. The lamp arrived almost two weeks after the estimated latest date, because of a long delay where it presumably sat at the distributor's location. Once it shipped, it reached me too late for the birthday I had intended it for. Assembly was also difficult, as it appeared to have several pieces that were misshapen. I had to use pliers to reallign several of the metal fasteners. And, speaking of assembly, expect a lot of it. The lamp arrived with EVERYTHING separated. Finally, the seller's name is stamped across each pane of the decorative glass. Yes, beneath each pretty picture, "OK LIGHTING" is prominently displayed. Which sort of sums up the item--not great, not even good. Just barely "okay."

I purchased 2 of these lamps for my dog related bedroom. The detail on them is really nice. Far better looking in person then I ever thought possible. They are a nice size. I like the fact that the base isn't too big to take up too much room on my night stand. It's tall enough to read by and cast a good light in the room. My shades look a tad bit different in person as far as color. Mine are more of a wine color, but they match my bedroom perfectly. My monitor shows the shades being more of a brown, so if the shade color is important to you, I'd find out what color you'd be getting before ordering them. The seller shipped them right away. I got them very quickly. Overall, the lamps are fantastic and the seller is wonderful to deal with!
