Three of the four bulbs were broken when received. The bulbs were packed in the same box as the two pound crystal gel jar.

Ordered a 24 pack. Four of them were delivered broken. The non-broken bulbs work fine, you simply screw them in, turn them on and light magically radiates from the bulb. ;-) so I gave an extra star for the actual working bulbs.

To be fair to the the light bulbs, the fault is in the packaging not the bulbs.

Where are you going to find top-quality 75W bulbs for about 1.02 each?

I was at my local Kroger the other day and saw a pkg of 2 x 65W bulbs for 4.49. More the twice the cost for less wattage.

GE Soft White 75 Watt Light Bulbs are perfect for any lamp in your household that needs a 75 watt light bulb of medium strength. This light bulb burns brighter than a dimmed light bulb; and it is less harsh on the eyes than a light bulb of greater strength. The bulb lasts 750 hours--great value and efficiency! The glass is rather well constructed so that if you accidentally drop the bulb before you use it you just might save it from ruin, especially if you drop it onto a carpeted floor. A single light bulb lights a 10 foot by 10 foot room fairly well. Excellent!

Insert a new light bulb into the socket of the lamp (or whatever needs the light bulb) and screw it in until you feel that the bulb is snug and secure in the socket. Then turn on the lamp or whatever device you're using and--voilà! Your bulb works for the next 750 hours. That can be months if you're careful with your energy bill.

The bulbs stay fresh for several months at least after you buy them; this is a great feature if you need to stock up on light bulbs for any reason. Obviously, these electric light bulbs must never go near water and or any other liquid. Dispose of them carefully so that any glass won't break and hurt anyone if they walk around barefoot in the house.

Overall, these 75 watt light bulbs by GE fit the bill very nicely. They are economical, easy to install and remove and they stay "fresh" for months after you purchase them. They take up very little room in any closet while you're waiting to use them, too.

I highly recommend these light bulbs for lamps or vanities that require 75 watt light bulbs.

This is at least the eighth or ninth of this type of lamp I've bought over the last fifteen years, so I have some insight into the things. I love `em, but they are hardly perfect.

The really good news, and the reason to buy them in the first place: I use two on my desk in my home office and get wonderful, bright, even coverage of my entire workspace, without shadows, and having one widely shaded lamp on each side of my computer monitor means that I can mostly (not completely) avoid the glare that would be a problem with a side or centrally placed single lamp. They clamp on the edge of the desk, and therefore don't take up valuable real estate, and are easily adjustable to put light wherever you want it. I wouldn't use any other type of desk lamp; I'm thoroughly spoiled. My girlfriend thinks they're ugly; I say form must follow function, and they work GREAT.

The principle problem is that they burn out the central electrode for the incandescent bulb under regular use (I keep mine on probably twelve hours a day M-F). Frequently scraping the carbon off it helps (caution: risk of shock and death, unplug the darn thing first!), but when it goes, it's gone, and none of my attempts with a soldering iron have been of avail (everything gets very brittle and fragile). They tend to last a couple years or so at my desk. This latest unit seems to have mostly the same electrode construction as those previous; we'll see. I will say that the metal shade is larger (see below) and the lamp seems to run cooler than the older ones, so this may decrease the problem. They have also substituted an extruded metal bump for a lump of cheap solder as the actual point of electrode contact, and that may also help. The same small and shallow grommet holds the electrode in place, though.

These run between $50 and $200 at discounted prices. The cheap ones are garbage; they function poorly, especially the clamps used to set position, and break easily. I haven't tried the most expensive one (Luxo), and I probably should, but all my purchases have been in the $120 range when adjusted for inflation. This lamp is noticeably more robust in general construction than those I've bought in the past, though I've never had a cantilever arm fail or break. The springs are covered rather than bare; though one would have been hard put to pinch oneself in the others, they do look a bit neater.

I must respectfully disagree that the bulb shipped with the lamp is a "daylight" bulb; the one I received, at least, is an even-bluer-than-usual fluorescent, so much so that I used an ordinary soft white incandescent bulb to try to even out the light color instead of the "Reveal" bulb I would normally have used. The combo works well, and this combination is the reason these lamps were designed in the first place, I believe; the redder light from the incandescent and the bluer fluorescent light combine to give you a good 200+ watts or so worth of fairly balanced light on your workspace. The new fluorescent bulb is larger (28W rather than 22W) and I definitely recommend you buy this version. Part of the reason is the larger shade to accommodate the greater diameter bulb; as mentioned above, it may help the lamp run cooler, and there is noticeably more light (though it's bluer).

You can only buy these in white and black at present; previously, they were available in cream, which looks a good deal better in most traditional offices (hint to the manufacturer).

Wow. What a light.

Not your normal drafting lamp: a high quality, professional drafting lamp for artists or architects.

It uses two bulbs: an ordinary incandescent (up to 100W), and a circular flourescent bulb. When they are both on together, the light is supposed to mimic perfectly the color quality of natural daylight.

I'm so happy with this light. Would you believe I have 5 of them scattered throughout my house?

They used to make a black one, but apparently not anymore.

I like this type of lamp. Being able to swing a lamp over the work to get the best light and see what the work looks like under both florescent and incandescent light are qualities I value.

Unlike the lamp this one replaced this one is very well built and I expect I will be using it for several years rather than the several months of the last lamp of this type I purchased.

The lamp was easy to assemble. It came in a cube box weighing about 25 pounds by Fedex.

If you want uber modern without wanting to feel like you're in a Starship Captain's living room or the 1980s, this lamp is perfect.

This was my first "post Ikea 20something life" lamp purchase. I wanted a grown-up bachelorette pad that is very minimalist with only a few pieces with interesting details, everyone else sparse, with only one or spots of femininity. This lamp definitely is for those who want a Bahaus-styled living room.

It reminds me of the polar opposite (new science) of Restoration Hardware's Focault's Gyroscope lamp (dawn of early science), which is a chandelier, around metal gyroscope rings, which is over $1,500 and totally out of my budget range. At $170ish-$300 (Amazon's third party vendors sells it in more reasonable ranges than places elsewhere charging $300 for it).

The shade is actually metallic silver when the lamp is off, which looks great in living rooms of both men and women, because it looks like a stainless steel lamp with a stainless steel lampshade. I was concerned it wouldn't be bright or how proportioned it would be because I couldn't find photos of the lamp in a room vignette. It's very bright. Once the lamp is on, the shade turns opaque and has a greyish tinge with 12-silvery orbs and 12-light bulbs---it looks like a central atom bound to a 12-molecule membered ring floating in an opaque grey box.

The lamp shade does get hot really quickly. I had it on for 3 minutes and it was super hot already. If this lamp lasts without issues for a while, I'll get another floor lamp or a table lamp,to place on a clear acrylic side coffee table (like the ghost chair) or a mirrored Parsons end table.

This is probably not a lamp for a home with lots of clumsy people (ie: people in roommates situations with roommates who bring random people over to "hang out") or children. The lampshade can dent or scratch easily, as it feels like a thicker sheet of metallic sheet or foil.

I'm very happy I discovered Adesso. The company seem to produce moderately priced, great modern lamps without looking too gaudy or so modern it looks like it came from the 1980s.

However, the replacement lightbulbs are very hard to find, even in NYC. Many don't sell incandescent G12 size bulbs---most G12 bulbs are opaque (beige) or clear.

Even Home Depot doesn't carry G12s size bulbs. Online sources can be unreliable when it comes to light bulbs though (broken during transit/shipment).

So make sure you have a reliable source of bulbs if you intend to get this.

Normande Lighting FS3-863 13W Daylight Spectrum Table Lamp Reviews

Normande Lighting FS3-863 13W Daylight Spectrum Table Lamp with Flexible Gooseneck, Blue with Blue Fabric Shade
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program If you are looking for a fairly sturdy table lamp with a low price point, you found one. This light does the job, but don't expect many features.

First off, the picture is misleading. There is no green or yellow on this lamp. The power cord is black and the inside of the lampshade is white, but everything else is a sky blue.

The switch to turn the lamp on and off is on the cord, about a foot away from the lamp. A switch on the base or neck of the lamp would have worked much better. Speaking of the base, it has some heft to it, so this lamp is steady until the entire lamp head is about two inches away from being over the base.

There is a 13-watt CFL bulb included, which is the equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent. I like this, but don't buy this lamp if you are not going to stick with CFLs, because 13 watts is the max output this lamp is rated for.

The lampshade itself looks nice when the lamp is off, but feels rather cheap almost like a thick poster board. It does a decent job spreading the light while preventing you from looking at the blinding light coming from the bulb, but there is a very noticeable 1/2-inch wide seam on one side that looks like a black stripe when the light is on.

For under $20, I'm not disappointed, but this is a pretty bare-bones product. Buy it if you need a gooseneck light and don't care about looks or a line switch; otherwise, move along.

I gave this lamp 5 Stars because for a $14 lamp it is great: the base is weighty, the gooseneck is firm and it takes energy saving bulbs. Like most right handed artists, I need light coming across from my left to reduce my own shadows, and this does the job well. Far better than the $15 book lights I was using with varied success before. The lampshade is a treat, as I cannot tolerate looking at a bare bulb. It's rare that I can find a little light that is adjustable, and doesn't require the bare bulb shining at you for it to be effective. Is it a lamp to light up a room? Of course not. Will it light up your immediate area fairly well? It will.

Like pretty much every other low-wattage lamp on earth, it does have a cord switch on it. I really don't understand why some people would complain about such a universally common thing. I personally find it handy to have the switch closer to you than the lamp is. You don't have to reach as far, which is more of a convenience than a hinderance to me. I guess if you have enough time and space in your life to complain about where light switches exist, you're doing pretty good.

Honest reviews on Normande Lighting FS3-863 13W Daylight Spectrum Table Lamp

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is the perfect size lamp for my bedside table but I hate the color. The blue is not a regular blue so it doesn't match anything. I plan to paint or decorate with buttons (something I found on pinterest) but haven't done so yet. I recommend the lamp based on size, flexiablity of the neck, small shade and light output.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This table lamp comes with the flexible stem, the blue lampshade (be aware that it is very blue, and not at all green as shown in the photo) cord, and lightbulb.

The gooseneck stem is a little bit difficult to manipulate. Be careful when unpacking the lamp, or the shade may crease or dent.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic little lamp! It's quite small, but very bright, and throws off a strong, warm light that is sufficient for a medium-sized bedroom.

Although small, it's very sturdy, and actually quite heavy for its size. It stays in place, and won't slip around on a table or topple over if you have it on the carpet.

Be aware that it is very blue. There are no green, yellow, or pale tones. From the shade to the base, the lamp is a vibrant, single-toned sky blue.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this lamp. Based on my experience with this lamp, I'll gladly recommend it and I'll certainly be on the lookout for Normande products in the future.

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.

We bought two of these, in bronze, to install as reading lamps over / next to our bed. They were packed well and everything arrived intact. Installation is a bit tricky but not too bad, though I would strongly recommend throwing away the wall anchors that came with the unit and getting some better ones. I used the ones in the box, and with the drill bit they suggested, the anchors almost disappeared completely into the wall, and a result, it's not affixed to the wall securely enough, IMO.. I need to go back and reinstall with better anchors, but thought I would share this suggestion so that maybe someone doesn't make the same mistake. Also, I made the mistake of putting the first one directly in line with the wall outlet, and it ended up being too close to use both the cord covers so I had to shorten it with a chop saw. On the 2nd installation, I put it to the side of the outlet, so if the cord cover was too long, it's not a big deal. Happy to clarify if that's confusing.

Also, I couldn't find this info anywhere in the product description, but it takes a 50/100/150 watt bulb, so it can get as bright as you need to.

In summary, these are good-looking lamps at a nice price, and that don't require the installation of any electrical fixtures. Make sure you pay careful attention to some details when you do the install, and get some better anchors, and it'll save you some grief.

After my twin babies had knocked over and broken the second reading lamp in their room, I decided to get a wall lamp so that they wouldn't be able to reach it. I love this lamp! I installed it on the wall above where the kids can reach from the floor, and while sitting in the rocking chair with one in each arm, I can easily swing it towards us for reading books and then swing it back towards the wall out of reach when we transition to rocking/singing (which was always the part of our bedtime routine when they would reach over and grab the lampshade or knock the lamp to the floor). It has a three way switch and gives great, warm light for reading. It looks nice on the wall, too. I only docked one star because the shade it comes with is a bit flimsy and cracked while I was installing it. You can't really see the crack, though, so it's not that big a deal (and was hardly worth the time/effort to ship back for a replacement). Very easy to install (you do need a drill, though) and it comes with a long, narrow metal cord cover that you can install on the wall to hide the cord on its way to the outlet (another useful feature for deterring two curious kids!).

The lamp is clearly advertised as using a 150 W bulb and a 3 way switch...exactly what I was shopping for.

It's attractive and will do what I expected it to do EXCEPT: the Harp, which is almost impossible to compress and fit into the lamp stem is so small that a regular GE 150 W 3way bulb will not fit inside the harp. The harp must lean against the bulb which hints at early bulb burnout due to overheating. It could even be a safety issue.

I wonder if the people who design these things ever really put one to use.

This is a stunning masterpiece of ceiling art, like a laser light show in a box. First of all the outer "cage" is brillant twisted metal, which reflects and projects light beams all on it's own. Then you have the interior space which has numerous small light bulbs, and row after row of hanging/dangling crystals. I bet there is at least 100 strands or more! During the day, even unlit, it looks great, and gives off just the right sophisticated, contempory, yet dazzling display. At night, watch out, the glitz is full on. If you are looking for sulty Hollywood glamour, that doesn't look cheap, plasticky, low budget, or too contrived, this is it! It is stunning x10. A real work of art. This is not my first ET2 masterpiece, and I have to say, above all lighting I have purchased for my complete/total house makeover (bought a reno with 90% of the lights gone or not working so have had lots of lights to replace) ET2 has become my favorite manufacturer.

The House of Troy piano floor lamp is perfect for use with a grand piano and is worth the price. It is attractive, solid, and well-made. I was tired of having lamps sitting on the piano and ending up in the way of music. The PFL-617 sits along side the piano and out of the way. The arm is easily adjustable and puts the light right where you need it.

Most of my family plays the piano and loves the lamp. I've had mine for a year now and have just ordered one as a Christmas gift for my mom.

Kudos to the folks at House of Troy!

The first lamp I bought for my grand piano was an articulated desk lamp with a cool, modern design. It looked okay but it was rather heavy on the desk and the luminaire did not light up enough of the music.

My second piano lamp was the clip-on light from House of Troy. It had a great beam spread and looked rather good. Unfortunately, it didn't balance well on my Baldwin and was prone to tipping forward. I had several near-disasters spurred by rapid page-turns.

My last piano lamp is this floor lamp, also from House of Troy. I like it because it stays out of my way, doesn't even touch the piano, and puts a good spread of light on the music. (I use a multiple-LED lamp in it.) Its size and shape complement the grandeur of the instrument.

One thing to be aware of is that the counterweight end of the boom takes up considerable space. The mast can be positioned quite close to the piano, but the boom is going to stick out 12 to 18 inches away from the side.

In spite of a couple other bad feedback ratings, I decided to order this lamp because it was more what I was looking for than anything else I could find out there. While this is a very nice lamp in many ways, it does seems to be cheaply made, especially for the high price. There is an unpainted area on the black handle which was a surprise and the switch in the lampshade is plastic and quite cheap. Neither of these things were serious enough for me to go to the inconvenience of disassembling, repackaging and returning it. However, given the price of this lamp and the reputation of the manufacturer, I expected a little more.

The lamp looked nothing like the one in the picture. The box and packing looked like a 5 year old did it. The worst experience I have ever had with Amazon. I returned it, and did get a refund. Do not buy this!

I bought this lamp based on the previous review that my cat would like it too. He does, by the way, like to play with the prisms. This lamp is perfect for a bedside table. It has 3 light settings and they all cast a soft, romantic glow to the room. It's perfect if you want something pretty and unique, and not the typical boring lamp.

Purchased this lamp for a sofa table and am pleased with the product. It isn't a high end lamp, but doesn't look cheap, either. I think it will stand up to my kitty playing with the "crystals", which was one of the considerations when purchasing.

This is a gorgeous lamp. You do have to put it together but the touch part is amazing and the light is perfect.

Honest reviews on Crystal Touch Table Lamp By Acme Furniture

Unlike the picture and the description given by Acme, this lamp is basically plastic. Gold colored plastic, and plastic hanging pieces for the lampshade. The only part of it that is glass is the light bulb! I was misled by the description and the positive reviews, so I hope I can save someone else the cost of return postage that I'm paying. At least it is so lightweight that it won't cost a fortune to return!

It is pretty and would be good for a small child's room because very little on it is breakable, but I'm giving this product only two-stars because of how disapointed I am and how misled I felt. Something made of plastic shouldn't sell for the $42 (plus S&H)that I paid for it (or even the $32 at which it is currently listed).

This was given as an anniversary gift to a family member.

I heard it was very nice. They said it arrived in good

packaging and it works just fine.
