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.

Oriental Furniture Unique Inexpensive Lamps- 19-Inch Olivia Modern Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The picture of this lamp doesn't do it justice. They are gorgeous! The description is off a bit, though. Base of lamp is 6.25" x 6.25", lamp shade is 4.75" in diameter, and the lamp has an overall height of 18 5/8". The lamp takes a type B light bulb, the sticker on the felt covered bottom says up to 40W.

I ordered a pair of them in Walnut for my nightstands in my Asian/Zen themed master bedroom and they are perfect. They were very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The lamps have an inline rocker switch on a black cord that is very easy to operate. The shade is a stiff paper wrapped with a linen-like fabric with a nice texture to it. The top of the bulb is about 10.5" from the bottom of the tube, which does not come out, so you will need to be able to get your hand in there to screw the bulb in. I got 25W type B candelabra bulbs for mine, and they give a nice soft light to the room. If you're looking for a reading lamp, these are not for you, but if you want a gentle ambiance and Zen feel, you'll be very happy with these.

Sturdy construction, well built all the way around. These lamps are NOT flimsy at all. I bought two of these and set them up on timers with low wattage bulbs to wake me up in the morning. Works great. The light they put out is soft and soothing. I use the bright white CFC bulbs, smallest wattage they make... They look really nice with the bright white bulbs... I think they look nicer with the bright white Compact flourescents than with the soft white bulbs, which can look too yellowish, in my view. I'm pleased with my purchase.

The Pros the price, it looks nice and the light is bright and white, the neck is flexible. The things I would improve: The on-off switch is underneath the bulb on the upper part of the neck not easy to turn on and off. The base is larger than it needs to be taking up too much room. While it is nice white light, it is not comparable to 'sunlight'. I take pictures in sunlight and I've taken pictures with this light and they are not alike. I bought this for my workbench where I need flexible bright white light to work on detailed jewelry project. I'm happy with the purchase but it could be a 5 star if they fixed the items I mentioned.

Bought this lamp for my wife's '1/6th scale' miniature furniture business. There are some days in Florida when the sun is hidden by rain clouds which makes it very difficult for her (or anyone) see the small details necessary to produce her 'handmade' pieces of furniture. Hence, the reason for this purchase.

My wife spotted this lamp somewhere online and liked the "stones." We had been looking for a pair of table lamps for a while, and didn't find anything we really liked in the stores, so we decided to order one of these from Amazon. (We didn't want to order both lamps until we saw one.)

We got the lamp pretty quickly, and it looks nice. As another reviewer noted, the color of the "stones" is lighter than they appear in the Amazon photo, and the color is a bit varied (there was even a hint of purple mixed in). There are a couple of other differences from the photo:

1. The "stones" are glossy ceramic and don't really look like stones, but we like how they look anyway.

2. The shade has a bit of sheen that doesn't show in the photo, but we like that too.

We ordered the second lamp, which took a bit longer to arrive than the first, and unfortunately the bulb holder in the lamp base was broken. The bulb holder can be folded down for shipping, but the plastic had broken and snapped off (probably during packing). I requested an exchange online, and Amazon shipped out a new one without waiting for me to return the old one (I sent it back the same day I got it anyway). As expected, I didn't have to pay any shipping charges in either direction.

I got the replacement lamp in a few days, and fortunately this one was intact. One thing about the replacement: The colors on the base are lighter and a little different than those in the first lamp we got. They still go together well, but this color variation might bother some people who order more than one lamp. The broken lamp's color was more like the first lamp.

I was happy with how Amazon handled the return, and I've had great customer service from them on a couple of other items I ordered recently.

The lights are very easy to install, put out a decent amount of light (using Toshiba LED bulbs) and look nice. The downside is the base appears to be made of cheap stamped metal and while good looking the nickel pieces that hold the glass in place are mounted on very thin metal that could bend easily. Of the 3 units I bought (2, 12inch and 1, 16 inch) each unit had one of the three glass holders that had to be forced with pliers to be turned allowing the glass to be mounted to the light. Had I not put in LED bulbs with 20 year expected life I would be nervous about breaking the one "sticky" glass holder on each unit. All in all it is a good looking decent light but I would be cautious if I had to change the bulbs regularly.

You do get what you pay for ... I chose not to spend $500+ for a good-quality Tiffany-style lamp, so was somewhat disappointed in this piece. The lamp is attractive, but is not as described. You should know that the shade measures only 15" across and is NOT glass but is instead a hard plastic / acrylic. I agree with the reviewer who said the colors are brighter than pictured, but it really depends on the light in the room. (And of course, the brighter colors shine through when the lamp is lit with the max 120 watts with 2 lightbulbs.) The lamp is also NOT "dimmable" as described; a toggle switch on the cord is either on or off. I purchased this as a reading lamp, but will use it as an accent piece; the "blue" light cast is not comfortable for reading. Kudos to Amazon's standard shipping, which I chose instead of free shipping. I ordered the lamp on a Thursday and received it 2 business days later. All that said, this is an attractive lamp, and I have received many compliments on it.

Shade glass was NOT AT ALL as pictured; colors not subdued and sophisticated as on website, but extremely garish. Base looked super-cheap. But that's not the problem;I received an email from the seller suggesting that for the return fees they intended to clobber me with, I should just keep the lamp--THAT is NOT going to happen and I will never make another purchase from these yahoos.

This is a very nice looking lamp. If you are looking for a Tiffany lamp and want something different than dragonflies, this is definitely the way to go. Easily fits 2 energy efficient 60 watt bulbs. Shade covers direct light down to a 90 degree angle, so you can easily sit next to this lamp and read without having direct light in your eyes. Very sturdy and elegant base. May have to decorate our formal living room around this one.

I love these light bulbs. I have used this bulb since 2002 in my garage door openers and dusk to dawn lighting around the house and patio. The bulbs last longer than the 2.7 year rating and are very bright. I have had one buld inside a light that is dim at dusk and brightens when motion is detected. The bulb has been burning for about 3 years now. Because I cannot find them in the local retail stores, I will be stocking up on them.

I got this lamp for my nightstand. I thought from the picture it was black but it is actually a dark brown, and the lamp shade is more of a light beige than white which is not a huge issue for me, but if you are looking for an exact match in colors than be warned. I really like the square design base on this lamp which was one of the reasons I chose it. I don't really care for some the traditional round bases which have a bulky look to me. Aesthetically, I like the the square minimalist Japanese design which looks a lot nicer with my bedroom set. I will say the texture of the metal base is a little rougher than I expected. I thought it would be a smoother, more polished bronze. It's also not solid metal all way through which could be an issue in terms of quality and durability, guess only time will tell. Another selling point for me was the fact that it holds a three way bulb, which gives me the option of adjusting light level, a feature I find I require a lot more in my bedroom than other rooms. The shade that comes with the lamp is larger than I expected but it still works well for my nightstand. I just hope it lasts.

I was looking for matching lamps for my bedroom nightstands. These lamps are perfect. The lampshade is a rectangular shape which I prefer because it isn't bulky and doesn't take up a lot of room on my nightstand. I also like the satin nickel finish. There is a square cutout that allows you to see through the base of the lamp, which makes it look less bulky and more like a contemporary art piece. This lamp uses 3 way bulbs, so I can adjust the lighting and make it dim and soothing before going to sleep. I am very happy with this purchase.

The lamp looks good, but I was expecting better quality for the price. It turns out that the lamp is completely hollow inside the framework and feels like plastic (not sure if it is).

Also worth noting that the lamp is a brown/bronze color and not the darker blackish color that is pictured.

It looks good, though, even though it's cheap.

I have owned at least 20 reading lamps in the past 10-15 years from very expensive to very cheap. This is the best ever!! It is so bright that I often turn it to the lower setting, I never have to fiddle with it once I have attached it to the book I am reading and in fact the design allows me to rest the light on my chest if I am reading lying down.

I've been looking for a portable reading light to use with my Sony Reader PRS-500. Finding the LightWedge here on Amazon, I thought I'd given it a try even though it makes no claims that it would be suitable for anything beyond a REAL paper book. But with the relatively low price it seemed a reasonable gamble and besides, given the reviews it's clear that it would work with regular, tried-and-true paper books and magazines, which in actual use I found it does indeed do very well.

Even as a reading light for Sony's electronic reader it works quite well, but how WELL it works does depend upon the angle that I need hold the Reader relatively to my eyes. Any angle that's not close to perfectly perpendicular to my face, and there's a "glaring" problem (sorry...bad pun I know). The lack of a backlight on Sony's electronic ink device means any user must operate it just like regular printed reading material, so to read in low or no ambient light an external light source is mandatory. The LED, as great as they are shining on a printed page, given the wrong viewing angle are too intense even for the matte-finished LCD screen of the Sony Reader, even when set on the lowest of the two lighting settings.

While the bright, blue-white given off by the LEDs is relatively easy on my eyes on printed paper, there's often a brutally intense, three-spotted focused reflective glare bouncing off from the face of the LCD of the Reader. This makes reading the immediate surrounding text difficult if not impossible to read when the Sony is held at an angle to my face, and requires constant fiddling with the angle of the LED light housing or adjusting the hold on the Reader to make it perpendicular to my eyes' line-of-sight. Moreover, the non-'inked' portion of the Sony's LCD (the background to the text) is rather dark compared to the usual printed page, and makes the overall lighting effect of the LCD seem rather cold and sterile relative to its look on the printed page. That said, it does light the screen pretty well, but at the cost of having to read with a specific viewing posture--something that for me can be hard to do when attempting to read in bed or lying around on the couch.

The unit's batteries are another bone for me to pick on. Rated at 30 hours of use per fresh set of batteries, the LightWedge relies on two relatively large, button-type CR-2450 3V lithium watch cells for juice. Not exactly cheap and not necessarily the most common size around, the batteries are a literal drain on the wallet. In a watch you could easily get a year's worth of use out of one of them. But if you read in bed an hour a night, you're replacing TWO of these roughly every month. Assuming the cost of a pair of these cells at $3 a set (that's what a lone seller here on Amazon charges at the time of this review), that's $36 a year in batteries just for a little night reading. I'd go through nearly a couple of sets of batteries before I even use up a single charge on the rechargeable Li-ion cell built into the Sony Reader. Frankly, I think it might be advantageous for the makers of LightWedge or any other LED light maker to devise a slimline rechargeable solution instead, even if it costs more up front. Certainly within a couple of years it will have paid for itself, seems more congruent with the long-lived nature of LEDs, and we wouldn't have all these spent lithium watch batteries to dispose of.

In general, the LightWedge offers a decent non-AC solution for low-light reading, particular with printed page media. Less obstrusive that most table lamps and certainly portable, the LightWedge is easily adjustable for tackling almost any sort of book or magazine, as long as you don't have any problems with the cost of operating the unit and have a well-stocked source for all of those batteries you will end up needing at some point.

I ditched my previous reading light, which used an incandescent bulb, in favor of this reading lamp, which uses three LED bulbs. The difference is dramatic. Not only does this tiny thing put out a wide yet discrete, bright beam of light, I can tell it will last much longer in terms of battery life. My last reading light would last about 4 hours on two "AA" batteries. This lamp uses those quarter-sized lithium batteries, which again provides ample light. Even the lever arm is easy to use and convenient to position over my book. Highly recommended.

Small, slim, lightweight, and quite sleek too. It is quite functional for its purpose. It throws an adequate amount of light. I have not found any use for the dimmer position, though. It could have been priced more reasonably. However, overall it is a good and handy product. I do recommend it.

Philips 818655 Imageo CandleLight Review

Customer Ratings:

I really like these lights. The build quality is great. Very solid and smooth, frosted glass finish. The lights themselves are very yellow, and don't put out much light. They mimic candles very well, with a constant low flickering. I was under the impression you could change the light flickering on and off, however, while I found out you can't, it's really not the problem I thought it might have been as the flickering is very subtle.

The way you turn the lights on and off is either by tipping it to the side and back, or shaking it up and down slightly, works great. Though it would've been cool if you could blow them out. The best use of these lights is probably as night lights. I use them if I get up in the night and need to walk through the house to the kitchen or restroom. Not too much light to wake up other, just enough to help me find my way and not crash into anything.

The batteries last quite a while on a full charge, though I haven't timed them, they seem to last a full day/night when on. Hopefully the LED's and batteries will hold up for a long time, as neither can be replaced. The charging base could have been designed a bit better, it seems like the cheapest part of the set, though it does work great. You simply set the candle lights in each charge circle and it charges, no plugging the lights in or anything wires to deal with other than the single plug for the charge station.

Overall, the light's are a great replacement for actual candles. They put off about the same amount of light as a small candle, they look good, plus you can put these in places you can use traditional candles, as these won't start fires, they don't even get warm.

Update 1/23/13:

While the lights themselves are still working well and still tend to last about 12 hours per charge, I've noticed that the on/off mechanism is starting to require a more ham-fisted approach. At first I could just tip the candle to turn it on & off, but now it requires multiple attempts or a more violent shake. Still a 4-star purchase in my opinion, but I wanted to update to let you know.

Original review:

There's not much to say about LED candles, so I'll get right to the pros & cons.

PROs

-Induction charging is great. No exposed contacts is always a good thing.

-The charging base and candles look very nice and should fit in with any decor.

CONs

-The light could be brighter. The fake flames seem to give off about 1/2 the lumens of a real flame.

-The light is a bit too orange.

Overall I feel like I bought the highest quality LED candles available at this price.

We were spending too much time and too much payroll on maintaining wax candles in our restaurant. Still, the tables looked lacking without them. I switched to the OXO Candela Glow, which we happily use at home for dinner parties and nightlights. At the restaurant, the Candela looked static and cheap. I ordered two sets of the Philips Imageo and am delighted. They glow with a flickering flame-yellow the movement makes the dining room look lively, even after the last diner has left for the evening. The frosted glass votive lends a little more elegance than the plastic Candela. I'm ordering another set for the restaurant right away.
