Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This Energizer LED Task Light was sent to me by Amazon Vine for review. Here's my take on it.
Firstly, the lamp is stylish and efficient looking with a black matte finish base and tubular gunmetal brushed stainless curved arm. The shade is a frosted plastic, lightweight enough to keep from tipping easily.
The LED light has a 250 lumen output which is comparable to a 40-watt light, however, because the light stream is concentrated, it appears brighter. I design jewelry and have been using a goose neck lamp with a 60-watt incandescent bulb; the Energizer Task Light is brighter and better. The color of the light is a pleasing neutral, midway between the yellowish color of an incandescent bulb and the blue of fluorescent light. Even better, the light uses a fraction of the wattage of an incandescent bulb.
While the neck is stationary, the shade can move for best positioning at the work station. The base has a small footprint that leaves maximum space for work projects and at 19 inches high, it stands tall enough to be out of the way for close work. Also, there is a high-low brightness setting. Add this functionality to the sleek design and you have a alight that is useful and looks good anywhere. Of added importance is the six-foot cord has a standard plug which doesn't take up extra space if used in a power strip. The Energizer LED Task Light receives top ratings from this reviewer.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My original review was for 5 stars, I loved this light...while it worked that is. After little more than a month the LED in my light got very dim and finally quit working. It said on the brochure that the LED never needs replaced. This worked great while it worked but, for the price it shouldn't have quit this soon! Perhaps I received a faulty one, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Original review: This task light is sleek and small enough that it will fit in the smallest of spaces. I use mine for reading, writing. clipping coupons and numerous other tasks that I want to see details. I was very surprised by the amount of light that this LED light puts out. When I looked at the size of the LED I didn't think it would put out that much light. It's really quite nice. I also like the way the lamp is arched, it makes it a great reading light as, you can shine it directly onto your book.
The only thing I didn't like about this lamp is that it's a bit difficult to move the LED head exactly where you want it, say you want to move it a fourth of an inchI found it was hard to tilt up and down in small amounts.
Other than that, it's a great light.
Best Deals for Energizer HRGTL Household Lighting LED Desk Light/Desk Lamp
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Even tho the ENERGIZER HOUSEHOLD LED TASK LIGHT is marketed as a "work Light", I've found the styling and design makes it look great in my "library". The arc on that crome arm that holds the light, has the grace and simplicity I enjoy in industrial design. As for the dual wattage LED light, its perfect. For one thing, it gives you the two wattages most needed in this type of lamp. The lower setting is about 35 watts, great for reading, or mood. The higher setting appears to be about 50 watts, so if you are drawing, painting, or building seven robot brides for seven robot brothers, you'll see what you are doing. The LED light is marketed as being PURE WHITE, whereas incadescent bulbs tend to be yellowish, and florescent bulbs have blue/green overtones. When creating art in color, LED light illuminates a piece without changing its color characteristics.
The HEAD swivels omnidirectionally, so if you need a spot directed somewhere, this works really well. I cant count how many times I've lit my face, or someone else's face, to draw a portrayt, and couldnt get the light to hit exactly where I needed it. This light can solve that problem. Also, unlike when you have a bright incadescent light near a painting for ultra detail work, you cant burn your arm on an LED light bulb. (I did that, and still have the scar.) One of the best qualities of an LED lamp is ITS LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT. No electricity is wasted creating heat, so you save money over other lighting options. Without a doubt, florescent corkscrew bulbs are a transitory light source, until LED lights becomes the norm. Unlike those corkscrew bulbs, LEDs generate no hazards in disposal. In the next few years, you'll be seeing these types of lamps everywhere. I'm totally happy with this light, both for reading, and for artwork.
Honest reviews on Energizer HRGTL Household Lighting LED Desk Light/Desk Lamp
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is one of the best designed desk lamps that I came across in a long time. If you are looking for a good desk/task lamp, consider this product.
1. DESIGN: The lamp is tall (from base to the top is about 19"). This is excellent if you are reading over a big book, working on model (planes/toys) or using a big laptop. Also because the neck is curved out, you will have an ample room for you to work without hitting the lamp. The neck is also stationary, that is, it is not adjustable. In my opinion, this is a good thing. I had one lamp that had an adjustable neck, and it always cave down. So this is an excellent design.
2. STURDINESS: The whole lamp screams "quality." The base is heavy and very solid, the neck is metallic and sturdy. The lamp casing is also made of high quality & thick plastic. The large base doesn't wobble because of its heaviness. The head of the lamp moves up and down without being loose, so it stays on its position.
3. LIGHT: The lamp has 2 settings Low and High. "Low" setting is good enough brightness to do almost anything that does not require intensity of light (ie, reading, using a laptop, etc). The "High" setting is good for if you are working on model toys and planes. I for one, found high setting very useful as I disassemble and reassemble a notebook to fix things and there are many small parts in the notebook.
All in all, the design is beautiful attractive, and practical. The quality is top notch. And the light setting is very useful for everything that you do on your desk. Highly, highly recommended.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program EDITED 2/28/12: After almost 4 months of periodic use, this lamp has died on me. The bulb can't be popped in and out from the looks of it. So much for a bulb that will never need replacing! It's now a pricey piece of trash. Thanks, Energizer!
*** Original Review:
I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of light this lamp puts out. It's not overly radiant, it keeps the focus tight on your work area, and the clean white shade is ideal for most tasks. The lamp itself is stylish and modern, I think it would work with most modern office spaces. It certainly looks great on my computer desk.
My major gripes with it are that the neck isn't adjustable and that the base/shade are made of plastic instead of something more substantial. They should've been for the cost, but since it's an LED light, you'd be paying a higher price anyways.
Pricey for what it is, but it works.
