Review of CBConcept Brand JDR GU10 120V 50W 50 Watt Halogen Light Bulb - 12

Customer Ratings:

My grandparents got their kitchen remodeled two years or so ago and three out of the four of their light fixtures have these bulbs (totaling 6 bulbs). The ones in the store were really expensive so I found these online and we decided to go for it. We were slightly skeptical (more so my grandparents) when buying these bulbs because they are much lower in price than we expected to find but they have been great so far. They came faster than expected and the box was not all beaten to pieces either. Our light fixture has a max of 50 watts. These bulbs are a lot brighter than our old bulbs (Which were somewhere around 30 watts).

They seem to be doing fine so far, although they do have a slight hint of pink light that comes out of the back, but you can only see it if you look closely at the light fixture. Its not really a big issue. I only mention it because at first we thought there was something on the globes surrounding the bulbs, but the pink shade is actually from the rear of the light. It disappears when the lights are turned off and people have only noticed after we pointed it out. Next time we need to buy bulbs this will be the first place we look.

I will hopefully update on the lifespan of the bulbs sometime in the future after we see how long they last.

*Edit* It is 12/31/2011 almost two years from the date they were purchased. I haven't really kept track of the bulb life as we have three different fixtures totaling 6 bulbs. But so far I think we have only replaced one of the new bulbs once. I would estimate we got about a year or more of use with it being used daily for many hours in the kitchen. I would say they have lived up to or exceeded our expectations, especially at such a great price.

These are much less expensive than local Home Depot or Lowes. Shipping was super fast & arrived in perfect condition. I only tried 1 bulb so far & it worked. Seems as bright as the same wattage bulbs that came with my light fixture. No obvious difference in color. These bulbs are not transparent on the sides so it only shines forward, where my current bulbs are, so they also illuminate the glass globe around it. Not a problem reallyi can always replace them all at once since this is a 12 pak.

Honest reviews on CBConcept Brand JDR GU10 120V 50W 50 Watt Halogen Light Bulb - 12

These are the first GU10 bulbs I've found that are both inexpensive and have a good lifespan. I've tried a bunch of brands, and these are the ones I am stocking up on. The price here on amazon is fine for a single box, but if you're stocking up you'll want the flat-rate shipping offered directly at cbconcept.

The bulbs I received have an angle of 30 degrees. CBConcept also makes a 20-degree option as well 20W and 35W models.

For the money it was a good buy, it has a sturdy base so it doesn't tip easy. Be careful shutting it off though the switch is right above the light bulb dome and the switch gets very hot, probably not good for kids.

A big disappointment. For one thing, the new environmental bulbs hang below the lamp shields accentuating a glare which disturbs my sight.

Best Deals for Flexible Desk Lamp, Black

Pros:

cheap

provides light when required

Cons:

tips over very easily

entire top of the lamp gets blisteringly hot (especially bad with the tipping over easily thing)

the only on/off switch is a tiny knob set into a metal base on the top of the lamp. See above you *WILL* burn your fingers turning this thing off at least 50% of the time.

I'm keeping this because I don't need to move it much and I can just unplug it when necessary, but I really wouldn't recommend this for messy desks (this + papers = serious fire hazard) or for somewhere you can't reach the outlet easily.

I love this little lamp! It is delicate, feminine, romantic...can't say enough! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because : 1) the glass color and the metal color are a bit lighter than the picture, and, 2) it was smaller than I expected...but if I had gotten a tape measure out when ordering, I would have known that, so my fault really.

Review of Equo LED Desk Lamp

Customer Ratings:

In my opinion this is one of the best LED desk lamps on the market. If you read my other reviews, I am especially critical of supposed higher quality and expensive products, but am thoroughly impressed with these examples from Koncept.

Why?

They are quality fixtures with an award winning (literally) design and it shows. The counterweight is precisely designed to maintain the lamps position you get a clear demonstration of this when removing the LED head, the weight goes off and the lamp rises up. This means that you don't have to rely on awkward rubber bushings or tightening screws to maintain a position the head moves freely anytime you want to change the position.

The LED head is also affixed to a ingenious cam, such that when the "arm" is raised and lowered, the head remains at the same set level again, another quality engineering implementation that lesser LED lamps generally do not offer.

The almost exclusive use of aluminum means that the product is devoid of cheap plastics and lends an overall feel of quality and appearance that will work in your design studio, or a home office.

The color temp of the LED in this warmer version is accurate at 2700k and did not look overly "blue." If you know a bit about LED's this color temp is the hardest to produce without driving up the wattage since some yellow filtering is required to tune out the blue tint, inherent in the diodes used to produce this color of light. The warm temp is a recent engineering marvel in the LED world and the lamp has some of the best LED's in use.

It is worth noting that despite the formula of using low powered LED's in higher numbers (vs fewer, high powered units) the lamp still produces a distinct "hot spot" of light. I would have liked more spill, but understanding the limitations of LED's I would rather live with this than a blurry fresnel type lens that would further reduce the total lumen output.

Yes the price is high, but if you want a quality desk lamp that won't cheapen the look of well put together office, this is it. If you're just looking for an inexpensive, bright LED desk lamp solution, this is probably not for you as the quality of materials, engineering and design would not be worth the extra premium.

I really like the light and it's great construction. You don't have to tighten or loosen knobs to adjust it is very well balanced and is easily moved and holds it's position on it's own. As you adjust the arm up or down the lamp part mechanically adjusts itself so that it flattens or angles farther depending on the position. Basically you just adjust the height of the lamp and the lamp itself adjusts automatically which is really neat.

The light brightness is also adjustable and comfortable to work with. I work from home usually once a week but many times lately I've worked for a few days at a time with it and it lights up a good area and I haven't had any fatigue or anything with it. It also doesn't throw off much heat which is nice if you are working with it for extended periods.

The only problem I have with it is the light switch itself. It's really a pain to use. I'm not sure if it's just mine or if they are all like this but it doesn't register commands very well. So I'm sitting there fumbling for a bit either trying to turn it on or off. What I do is just set the dimmer where I like it and use a switched outlet for the lamp so overall this isn't a big issue for me, but it is a weakness.

Overall it's a great product and I'd buy it again. It looks really sharp, the construction is great and the ease of adjusting it is nice. The touch thing would be great if it worked but mine is problematic. That really doesn't stop me from enjoying the lamp though it's still a great product overall.

The shade is ok. However, you should note that the color is the shade is not white as the picture shows, but is much closer to a gold-light brown color.

The photo does not do this lampshade justice. It is very pretty and a much nicer, soft golden cream color. The over-draping is very soft-looking and is beautiful accent. It fits my 40 year old bronzed ceramic ginger jar lamp perfectly and adds an elegant touch. Very happy with the quality and the appearance.

I was excited to buy this light for my son but I am kind of disappointed with it. It does project the image clearly and very bright and the timer works just fine but it is very hard to position. It points straight up and unless my son is holding it his hands, the image is not above him while he goes to sleep. I have to prop it up on something in order to get the image to be over his bed. Not a bad product, just wish it was better or was cheaper.

Discount Texturized Ceramic Oval Table Lamp

Customer Ratings:

This lamp is beautiful... well, the base of it, at least. The shade I received (the first time) was disgusting. It had MOLD on it. The second shade I received this morning is not 100% clean, but I just don't feel like dealing with returning, etc. Also, just a heads-up, it's a small lamp. I was expecting a taller lamp, but that's my bad for not reading the dimensions.

3/5 because it's a pretty lamp, just gotta be "lucky" and get a clean, white shade!!

Review of Softech - Natural Light Smart LED Desk Lamp with Tilting Head -White

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $239.99
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus: 50% Off

I've been looking for a good lamp for awhile and ultimately decided to purchase this lamp after some research and reading other reviews. As a student and night owl, this lamp is pretty perfect. Breakdown:

Aesthetic Features:

Pristine white hard plastic. The design is a modern sleek look. The base is sturdy so that the lamp will not easily knock/tip over. The lamp was very easily put together when it came out of the box and I couldn't find any scratches or faulty parts from the get go. I really like the clean design.

Light Features:

The lamp is touch based which I really like and it works pretty well. Very nicely lit and the touchpad has a soft low in case you need to find it at night. It has 4 basic settings

Sleep/Bedtime mode

It's a soft orange warm glow. I like to use it for the wee hours of morning when I wake up for whatever reason when the sun isn't fully out yet. It doesn't hurt my eyes like other lights do.

Relaxation Mode

This is a step brighter than the sleep mode. A brighter orange/yellow if you will. I actually like to switch between this and the reading mode for reading depending on how tired my eyes are.

Reading Mode

The light shade is more of a white glow. I do use it to read but I often switch between this and the relaxation mode just because sometimes I prefer the more orange/yellow glow over the white glow.

Study Mode

This is a very bright white light compared to the reading mode. I pretty much use it late at night when I really want to get a lot of work done. I don't know if it's the cast of the glow but I feel like it's a more "serious" light if you will. The orange glows are more home-y/cozy and makes me more relaxed.

I get a lot of headaches and migraines so I really enjoy the different light settings on this lamp as it's easier on my eyes from what I've been able to tell. On top of the different modes, you can easily adjust for a higher/lower brightness on each setting A++.

Extra:

I really like that the power button is lit when the lamp is off so in the middle of the night I know where to clumsily touch and not just feel out my cluttered desk and drop things. There's also a USB port I can use to charge my iPhone. YAY!

I was between just getting the other lamp this company makes without the tilting head and this one but after reading an informative review stating that they wished the head of the lamp would tilt, I just bit the bullet and went with the newer version. The titling head is perfect!!! I keep the lamp on the edge of my desk, and I just swivel it, adjust the head so I can read on my bed since my desk is right next to my bed.

I hesitated whether to spend 100+ on a desk lamp, especially that I already have a cheap but usable one...but, I'm so glad I made the investment! The multi-functions are just what I wanted!

The design is so beautiful, and the long bars of LEDs make sure it light up a lot areas....perfect for me when I'm preparing for finals and got whole a lot of thing across my desks.

Study mode is yellowish-white and not to soft to make me feel sleepy

Calculation mode is blueish-white and I agree w. the other comment, it's a quite "serious" light color

Rest mode is the "normal" light I used most often, perfect for playing games on cell phone, browsing on internet or watching TV etc...just the right amount of light to light up but not too bright to create crazy reflections on the screen ...

Sleep mode I set it to sleep mode and then hit sleep timer before go to bed, simple and easy, got enough light to do my pre-sleep procedures LOL and don't need to worry about get up to turn light off esp great in cold winter nights!

Honest reviews on Softech - Natural Light Smart LED Desk Lamp with Tilting Head -White

I just received this last night and was very pleased with the look, construction, flexibility and light options. I used it to replace a small halogen lamp on my home office desk which has a desktop computer with pullout keyboard shelf. The lamp is easily adjustable so it fits the desk very well. The best part is that the arm is secured to the base through a large hole with a plastic nut. It can be rotated about 270 degrees. This is the key to making it fit anywhere i want. The lighting options are great and it lights up the entire desk as well as the keyboard. Now my wife wants one for her craft table. Definitely worth the price!

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Softech - Natural Light Smart LED Desk Lamp with Tilting Head -White

We're thrilled with this desk lamp, for its variable color temperatures and intensities, plus the tilting head. The tilt feature permits canting the light head slightly away from you to avoid glare. This appears to be the key difference between this lamp and a less expensive non-tilting lamp also available on Amazon.

Too early to tell if the LEDs will last their estimated 40,000 hour lifetime, which certainly figures in to the value proposition for this lamp. But unless I missed something in other reviews, there have been no reports of premature failure.
