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).

Excellent product. Provides perfect lighting for hand coloring black/white photographs with oil pastels. Halogen lighting distorted colors & this lamp allows true shading without shadows. Arrived on time & was ready to use immediately without any assembly necessary.

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.

Discount GE 97496 60-Watt 820-Lumen A19 Light Bulb with Medium Base, Soft

Customer Ratings:

GE Soft White Long Life 60 Watt light bulbs are perfect for any lamp in your household that needs a 60 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 1,500 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 1,500 hours. That can be many 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 60 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 60 watt light bulbs.

I'm sure bulb works fine but you only get two bulbs not 2 packs of 24. Amazon rep said 24. Only 2 arrived.

If you want to pay over 4 bucks for 1 light bulb go ahead, otherwise buyer beware.

Bedroom Table Lamp with On/ Off Touch Sensor Review

Customer Ratings:

I bought this lamp set a little more than a year ago and receive compliments on them often. I came back on Amazon to get them for a friend when I read these terrible reviews. Mine didn't come with bulbs so maybe that's the difference? I bought my large, clear light blubs (they look like the large outdoor Christmas lights) from KMart and have never had a problem in 15 months. They work exactly as they are supposed to and I love the three-level lighting option. I love that I don't have to fumble for the switch or cord, I just roll over in bed and smack the lamp :) The only thing weird is sometimes they come on by themselves. Maybe my cat is rubbing against it or there is electricity in the air? But sometimes I turn it off and go to bed and it will be on the lowest setting in the morning. Overall though, I really couldn't be more pleased with the purchase.

I purchased these to use when giving "candlelight" yoga classes when I got tired of messing around with candles. I purchased 3 sets to set around the perimeter of the room and they are absolutely lovely. Not had any trouble out of any of the 6 lamps. I especially like the 3-way effect because I can "dial up" or "dial down" to match the mood of the class, and there is nothing easier than simply touching the lamp to do that. Highly recommend.

Discount Oriental Furniture Low Lower Lowest Cost Price Lamp, 10-Inch Akida

This lamp provides an excellent complement to any bedroom. The light is such that its intensity is damped by the paper and comes out soft and brilliant!

This is not a fine piece of furniture, but for the price one would not expect it to be. Most notably, the finish of the wood is not glossy or lacquered just a reddish matte stain with little grain and no shine. The wood is also rather light in density. But it is reasonably well put together nothing crooked or loose, the many right angles all look true. The paper shade (with plastic backing) lets a surprising amount of diffused light through, so it actually works better as a usable light source than I anticipated. Overall, good for the money if you don't expect too much.

I ordered these lamps but they are nothing like I expected, I threw the shipping box away and so I had to keep them, but they are not what I wanted. If there's a way I can return these items, I would like to do so, they are useless to me.

Antique Brass With Marble Piano Desk Lamp Review

List Price: $104.99
Sale Price: $69.99
Today's Bonus: 33% Off

Bought this lamp over a year ago, and although it serves it's purpose well, I would not buy this lamp again.

First, the lamp switch constantly jams, such that it takes me forever to turn the lamp on/off. It seems that switch thread was a cheap piece with no threads, so the switch just turns around and around.

Also, the lamp head cannot stand up on its own-the bolts to tighten it do not go far enough to keep it in place, so the head just droops. I at one point super-glued the hinge to keep it in place, but it's pretty ridiculous.

If you are in the market for a piano lamp, look elsewhere before coming back to this one. It is simply not worth the price.

I am a piano teacher. This lamp seemed like a good value ($49) so I bought it for my second piano and used it very rarely. Nonetheless, about two months after buying it, I noticed that no matter how tightly I turned one of its screws, it would fall to its lowest position. I regret having bought it and suggest that you look elsewhere and perhaps pay a little more.

UPDATE:

Leviton staff read my original review, and contacted me. The company's engineer sent me another one, free of charge, as an opportunity to give the product "another chance." Well, it paid off for both Leviton and myself! The new one works perfectly, as designed, and is everything I hoped the original one would have been. If you do buy one of these units, and it doesn't work right, exchange it for another, and odds are, you'll be very happy with it!

Don't hesitate to buy a Leviton product! My past experience with Leviton products have nearly always been good, and their response to this matter has only reinforced my confidence in buying their products in the future.

Stars updated from one to five.

ORIGINAL:

Really liked the design & specs, and had great expectations for it. Plugged it in, plugged a 5 (yes, five) watt lamp into it, started to program it, and all of a sudden it started buzzing loudly (my wife witnessed it, too, so I'm not nuts). Smelled it, and it smelled like hot or burning electrical wiring. It's now on it's way back to amazon.com. Too bad. I'll probably buy a competitor's model locally, if I can find one with similar features, and if not, I'll try one of it's brothers at amazon when they're in stock, hoping that "Quality Control" means something for the other model.

I had to replace a bunch of old electrical table top timers the non-digital variety. They had gotten so noisey it was hard to sit near them. Saw these and ordered a few to try. Simple to program, completely quiet, accurate time and events perfect for me. Leviton hit the mark on these and the price is right. You cannot go wrong. Ordered again to replace all my lamp timers and a couple plug-ins to boot.

Honest reviews on Leviton LT114-10W 300-Watt Standard Digital Table Top Plug-In Timer

Connecting this up requires that I bend the plug contacts apart as it wouldn't get power from the wall socket. The screen is kind of small which makes it hard to read. Setting on the end table next to my shair it is imposible to read. It needs to be at a 45 degree angle to read it. It is easy to program. It does work great and the override is easy to use when needed.

I shopped a bit for the right timer switch and so far so good with this control. I really like it. The ability to sit it on the table while its plug and the plug of the load are way down on the floor is great. It sits nice and solid. Programming this is a bit tricky, and the instructions are helpful in only a cryptic kind of way. The process quickly makes sense after you mess up a couple of times. Just remember that a single "Event" consists of an "On" AND an "Off." Another plus for this timer is that it keeps accurate time so it will work well in applications where precision on and off times are crucial. This was a problem with all the Intermatic switches I have used, but not this Leviton. I have had it installed for a couple of months now and it is still in step with my cellphone clock that I used to set it. Note that I have only had it on wall power the whole time. The backup battery has never had to kick in.

Best MODO TL-06 Full Size Silver Color Office Desk Lamp Polished Deals

Customer Ratings:

I have been using Tolomeo lamp by Artemide in my work office for ten years. Evetually I decided to buy one for my personal use. The only negative for Tolomeo lamps is the price about $500. When shopping for Tolomeo lamp I noticed MODO lamp that looked identical to Tolomeo, but at less than half the price!!!

I contacted the seller, and got the lamp. The lamp is gorgeous exactly what I expected. It is modern, well built. Just as my former favorite work office lamp. After I received my first lamp I ordered the second one.

As it turned out MODO TL-06 is similar to Tolomeo Classic by Artemide. MODO was the contracted manufacturer for Artemide before 2001. After patents expired MODO now makes generic Tolomeo series.(MODO is made in Taiwan). The only difference is the base size. TL-06 has a smaller 200mm base (8 in) comparing to the popular brand. The base is about 1 inch smaller in diameter and about 1 lb less than the popular brand classic size. The base though is really heavy, I do not see a need for it to be heavier. No worries there. MODO provides warranty for one year.

The seller responded to my questions in a timely manner, and the lamp arrived fast in a couple of days.
