This is a good quality lamp! And man was it shipped securely! It was packaged in the box with lots of styrofoam and then the box had heavy duty cardboard on each corner all tightly bound together!

I got two lamps and both came with no scratches and are very pretty both when lit and unlit! My only problem with them is that they are short. I knew this when I got them but when I put them on my nightstands in place of my taller lamps it looks like there is void above them. No ones fault I just didn't think of it when I bought them.

They are gorgeous though! I recommend them!

I guess I should have read the watts before purchasing. I love the design of these lamps. However, there's not much light produced when using the recommended light bulb. Creates a great sense of warmth when I placed one on each side of my living room television. I don't regret my purchase, and, honestly, I'm sure they'd be too distracting if they were brighter. 4 stars because it isn't a perfect product, but it's pretty close for the price.

Honest reviews on Table Lamp

Bought this to go in my new office. It arrived on time and in excellent shape. Easy to assemble--simply put the shade on the base and you're good to go. No tools needed. You will need a 40 watt lightbulb, of course. I use a CLF and it works great. Good light and attractive. Very solid as well. The base appears to be made of a solid wood or wood-like product. It is a solid black color. The shade gives off a gentle tan glow--ideal for my office. It sits atop a bookcase and looks great. Solid, stable, well-made. Can't complain. There is a slight gap between the bottom of the shade and the base. And at certain angles the bright underside of the shade can be seen. With a little adjustment, I was able to reduce the gap so it's not so noticeable. Other than that, I'm very happy with the purchase.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am a geek and the idea of a vase that has three pages of instructions appeals to me

This lights up, changes colors, fast or slow or stays one color

It is a really pretty effect and the first day we got it, I tossed a wine bottle in the vase and thought it perfect

the three pages of instructions actually take 2 minutes to learn

You have three buttons

One to turn the vase on

One to decide how fast if at all to change colors

And one to control a ring of white light at the top rim that illuminates your flowers

And there is the flaw

the technology works perfectly

The vase design is a problem

I was so excited I raced out and bought perfect white tulips

The stems were illuminated by the color changing vase

The flowers were in the dark

I removed all extra leaves from the flowers until the bottoms of the flowers got some light

And for a tall vase my flowers are not particularly high

The design is just one that highlights water and stems more than your flowers

To be fair, that's exactly what also happens on the picture on the box

The white ring of light for the flowers can have three levels of intensity but even the brightest levels

can't Illuminate flowers six inches above the lit rim while the stems are the subject

of a gorgeous light show

I am a geek and love this technology

Someone should add a led on an arm to spotlight the flowers and create some balance

This is a lovely idea that needs tweaking

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I like the low-key cheesiness of this thing; almost makes you feel like lighting some sandalwood incense and putting the black light on to look at your velvet poster of the couple holding hands on the mountain top as the dragon soars by, while you sit and read the papers about this new Watergate scandal.

Alas, it's 2011, not 1973, and this crazy piece o' paraphernalia is being sold not at your local headshop for twenty bucks, but at your local (somehwat bemused) florist's for almost three hundred. Say what?! Yes, you read that right, this thing retails at 270 clams, which might be fair if it was made of crystal. Buuut, it's made of standard polyresin plastic, has a simple little charger base (which takes 10 hours to charge it!), and lights the stems of the flowers while the blossoms stay rather dark. Honestly, it feels like some sort of April Fool's joke by Phillips. Phillps? How is it they of all people are putting this out? Maybe they've been headquartered near Amsterdam too long.

Whatever the reason, this is one of the most amusingly over-priced items I've ever seen. It's kind of cute in its own way, but is truly worth fifty bucks at most. Better to just get a nice vase for forty and a color-changing mini disco ball for ten at one of those crappy mall stores that sells that kind of stuff. And if you want a good laugh while there, ask them if they've got the new Phillips psychedelic vase. Carefully observe the look on their face. That's how you would look if you bought this and then opened the box and wondered, "Did they ship the wrong item?"

Or just buy a black light, put it on your Hammond B-3, and place some tulips beside it. You'll be much happier avoiding this item and instead enjoying tulips on your organ while the new Pink Floyd record plays on the console stereo/tv.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program If you, like Morticia Addams, like to bob the flowers from your bouquet before putting the stems on display, this is the vase for you. Just as shown on the box the vase arrives in, your stems will be bathed in a color or colors of your choice.

What in the world was Phillips thinking when they came up with this thing? I really want to know. I ordered it for review without looking to see what it cost, thinking it was kind of a kitschy-cool Spencer's Gifts sort of item, probably priced in the $30 dollar range. (Now I'd raise it to $60 since it's a well-made piece of kitsch.) But the list price is $270, making Amazon's $180 sound downright reasonable -at least if it were a Murano art glass piece instead of a plastic light-up vase that leaves your flowers in the dark while highlighting the watery stems. And if your stems are like mine, they just aren't that attractive, especially after a couple days when the water starts looking a little like plomeek soup.

Speaking of that Vulcan delicacy, hanging a miniature USS Enterprise and maybe a Romulan vessel or two inside the lit-up vase would be far more logical than flowers; that, at least, makes sense, since the vase has a 1960s science fiction look to it. I've also thought about using it as a goldfish bowl but decided that the lights would drive the fish mad, no matter how many adjustments Philips has made available. Marbles might look great, but I think I may try a houseplant so that I can have the nerdiest, funkiest terrarium in town. (There's a ring of white light that would probably keep a plant happy; I believe it's meant to illuminate flowers above the rim, but it can't possibly do so.)

The vase has a high-tech charging base that's a breeze to use, and use it, we have: while I'd never blow the money for this item unless maybe it was in someone's wedding registry and I had money to burn, we are actually using the vase every night. It's empty, resting atop a tall bookcase across from our bed. We set it to change colors slowly and it's fun to stare at as we fall asleep. It does beg for sitar music, though.

If a thick plastic light-up vase that's incredibly expensive is what you want, you might give this five stars. I'd give it three if it weren't for the ridiculous price tag. I might even give it four if it was under $40 simply because I'm a kitsch-loving geek. But the design is so poor -what tested this thing, manatees? -that it serves no real purpose that I can figure out, other than serving as the most expensive night-light show around.

Honest reviews on Philips 69153/60/48 LUMIWARE LED Color-Changing Vase, Transparent

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program PROS:

*Techy from top to bottom. From the multi-color LED's to the touch sensitive control buttons to the induction charger, this device oozes of modern technology.

*Beautiful auto-changing LED colors are well shaded so as to not shine in your face. The colors are pleasingly soft and really set the mood in a dark environment.

*The induction charging base allows you to just plop the vase on it without worrying about aligning a charging connector. Removing it from the charger is as easy as lifting a vase off a table. The base is attractive and minimalistic.

CONS:

*From a distance, the vase looks good, but up close, it has a plastic-y appearance. The double-walled design is thick and not befitting an ultra-modern device. Not a big deal because a bunch of flowers will mostly hide these flaws, and in the dark, you only see the LED lights anyways.

*Control buttons are not intuitive. The "color" button toggles between fast color change, slow color change, and off when you hold it for 3 seconds at a time. If you want to select a single color, you hold that same "color" button for 1 second when your color is being displayed. To adjust the white light (which is located at the top of the vase), hold the "intensity" button for 1 second to toggle between dim, medium, bright, pulse, and off. Good luck remembering all that in a month without pulling out the manual.

*The touch sensitive buttons are not very sensitive to touch. The on/off button works consistently but the other 2 do not. Very likely, you'll just find a setting you like and never change it again.

NOTES:

*Bigger than it appears in the pictures. Make sure you check the dimensions because this is a big vase best suited for a medium to large bouquet. The vase will overwhelm short-stemmed flowers or singles/doubles. You'll want at least 3 or 4 long-stem flowers for it to look proportionally correct.

*I strongly wish there was a built in light sensor that would automatically turn it off in bright settings when the LED's lose their impact and serve as more of a distraction than anything. Also, it would be really cool to see it light up automatically when darkness falls.

OVERALL:

A very cool concept that will attract attention from guests and serve as pleasing mood lighting. There are flaws but they don't change the fact that this is a unique and beautiful device. If you don't have a constant supply of flowers, you could use it to permanently house a Lucky Bamboo plant.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When this item arrived, I was very intrigued by it.

First, what it is not. This is not an elegant vase that will will replace a beautiful crystal piece. But, that doesn't mean that it doesn't have its place.

I am sure that other people can find a different use for this, but for me, I decided it would make a great night light for my daughters. We let them go to the store and pick out some fake flowers. then we put it in their room and turn it on at night. They really like the ability to change the colors. It is bright enough for them to find the way to the bathroom and back in the middle of the night, but not so bright that it keeps them from going to sleep.

The only flaw we have with it, is sometimes it can be a pain to turn on. Although, once it is on, it works great. My two little girls love it.

My husband must do, at the very least, 6 months of research before purchasing anything. While I applaud his dedication to finding the perfect product at the best price, it can drive a woman crazy. We knew that we needed two new lamps for a room in our new home, and my parents offered to buy them for me as a birthday present. Knowing that they would want to see these new decoration additions when they came for my birthday, we could not do the usual tedious researching. After going to numerous local stores and online websites, we finally found all of the lamps available on Amazon...including lamps through this company. From 150 lamps...down to 100 lamps...down to 50 lamps, we narrowed the search in a few days. We found that we kept coming back to this particular lamp, though. It looked more sturdy than the others which is a must-have in our home. Two young boys and pets. We cannot have a lamp that falls over when you attempt to turn it on or might knock off a table with a slight bump. We also liked the idea of three settings...bottom night light, only the top light, and both night light and top light. It would be nice to have options depending on who was in the room or what we had going on. Despite my husband's anxiety with purchasing something way too soon, I took the plunge and ordered two of these lamps. We just love them! They are as sturdy as they appeared in the online pictures. We use the night light setting the most which means only the bottom area is lit up. It is actually lovely and puts a nice glow in the room. Not too much light but enough to allow me to avoid stepping on a Hot Wheel or the dreaded lost Legos. When we are all in the room, we turn the full light on which is perfect. The shade is very nice, and we like the shape. For making such a quick decision, we are very very pleased. Oh and my parents were proud to say that they bought them for me!

I love the night light aspect and the choice to have them both on at once or separate.

I would buy another one if my cottage had the room!

Honest reviews on Onyx Night Light Table Lamp

I love this lamp even though I had to get a new shade for it. The specifications say the shade is 15" wide but it is actually almost 17". To wide to fit where I wanted to put it, hence the need for a smaller shade and the 4 stars. The nightlight in the base creates a soft warm glow, but you have to cycle through the bright light first to get to the nightlight. Would have been nice if the nightlight would have had an individual on/off switch.

As an illustrator/artist, I have been looking for a work lamp for my desk that could provide good lighting without a glare or producing heat. The Daylight Triple Bright Lamp is perfect! It fills my desk top with a soft, warm light that does not distort color or cast strong shadows. I have tried multiple lights but nothing compares to this lamp. Even without using overhead lighting at night, the Daylight Triple Bright Lamp provides an oasis of light at my desk. I actually put off buying this light because I thought the cost was a little high. Mistake! I wasted money on other lamps that were just inferior. If you are an artist/craft maker, you will not be disappointed.

As a painter I purchased two of these lamps the Triple Bright Lamp by Daylight Company to provide a bright white light over my easels. I'm also always trying to get a light that shows the colors most accurately. I found the three 14 watt, 6500 Kelvin fluorescent tubes that come with the lamp a little too bright and a little too blue for my purposes.

I called the manufacturer, Daylight Company, and spoke with their customer service. My question was could they provide a replacement bulb that was a little warmer and/or of lower wattage? I was told that that was not possible; that they manufacture the bulbs according to their determination of the best use for the lamp, and they do not feel the need to provide any other options. The person I spoke with also emphasized that they manufacture the bulbs themselves and that they are custom sized to fit the lamp i.e. that there is no other option for replacement. I then contacted the parent company in England, but got no satisfaction there either.

I didn't believe the story that they manufacture the bulbs themselves. It didn't seem logical. After a bit of research I located the bulbs online, and after a bit of experimentation found a couple of ways to adjust the blueness and brightness of this lamp.

Too blue? You can get inexpensive replacement bulbs from BuyLighting dot com. The bulbs are GE T5 fluorescent tubes. They are 14 watts, come in either 6500 Kelvin (cool daylight these are the bulbs supplied with the lamp) or 3000 Kelvin (warm white). They cost $7.95, about half of what the Daylight Company charges. In my experience they are shipped quickly and are extremely well packed. To reduce the blueness, I chose to replace the middle of the three 6500 Kelvin fluorescent tubes with the warmer 3000 Kelvin tube. This mix of two cool bulbs with one warmer bulb seems to reduce the overall blueness just enough to provide better color rendering.

Too bright? I found that the the lamp will work fine with one, two or three tubes installed. In my case, once I improved the color, I found the lamp no longer seemed too bright. But you can easily remove one of the bulbs and reduce the brightness that way.

The lamp doesn't come with any instructions for replacing the bulbs, so here's how to do it. To remove or replace the bulbs, first lay the lamp, grid side up, down on a table. Then unscrew the little screws that hold the cover and grid in place (see NOTE below). Lift off the cover and grid. To remove the bulbs, begin by removing an outside bulb. Grasp it between thumbs and fingers of both hands and gently twist the bulb until the end pins align with the slots. Then it can be lifted out. Reverse this procedure to put the replacement bulb in. Make sure the pins are all the way in, then twist gently until it clicks into place. This is also how you can access the middle of the three bulbs, which is otherwise too tightly spaced to remove. Replace the grid and cover and you are good to go.

NOTE: The screws are tiny Philips head screws, very cheap, and easily stripped. So be careful when removing. Once you have them out, you may want to take one to the hardware store and try to find the same size in a stronger material with a better head.

Being very excited to receive this lamp, I was sorely disappointed when I figured out this lamp does not work with drafting tables (the adjustable kind that tilt). The base of the adjustable lamp arm has a post about 3 in. long, that fits into a hole in the clamp. (The lamp with its arm, and the clamp are two separate pieces that come apart without any effort.) It is a snug enough fit to not worry about it falling out, but it is not fixed securely in there in any way, so if the table is tilted then the whole lamp will swing forward no matter now you adjust the arm. This lamp is meant to attach to flat surfaces only. For spending this much money on a quality lamp I am disappointed in this simple oversight that makes is incompatible with my tilted table. (Especially since it is marketed to artists). As an artist who enjoys using a drafting table for its ergonomic superiority, I feel like this is a simple, overlooked feature this lamp is missing. What a bummer. In addition, the lamp I received is defective. There is a quiet buzzing sound coming from the lamp. It isn't loud enough (at this point) for me to want to go through the trouble of returning it and waiting for a new one though. I will wait a couple more days to see if it is worth keeping.

I was looking for an economical functional floor lamp. This lamp fits the requirements. The style is simple and functional. Many other floor lamps I looked at only allowed one 150 watt bulb. My experience with those was poor. They lit up the ceiling well, but they just weren't bright enough to illuminate the rest of the room. This one takes two 150 watt conventional bulbs, so it is very bright.

The dimmer switch has two settings, full power or half-power. You can NOT adjust it to in-between levels.

I'm using it with compact spiral fluorescent bulbs instead of normal bulbs. (None of the fluorescent bulbs i've seen are compatible with dimmers. They all require full power. I just never use the half-way mark on the light switch. I've had the lamp with CFL bulbs for several months and have not had any problems.)

This lamp does not qualify as fine furniture. It is not going to elicit comments like "ooh, what a lovely lamp". It just lights up the room well in basic, modern, functional style.

This lamp is a good height, with a metal body and a heavy metal base. It accepts two standard light bulbs (I use CFL's to be kind to the earth and they work great) so if you are looking for a halogen lamp, this is not the lamp you are looking for. The white diffuser at the top is cheap-feeling and made out of plastic, but looks good from a distance. And if your guests are feeling the diffusers of your lamps you probably have other issues to worry about.

Overall I would definitely recommend the lamp. It is a good value, nice looking, and performs well.

Note: I ordered two lamps, but initially only received one. As always, Amazon customer service was great, and I had a replacement lamp free of charge within a week or two.

It is what it appears. The white shade is cheap translucent plastic so I don't think I'd be putting any 150 watt incandescent bulbs in it for fear it would warp the shade (or whatever you call that white part).

The switch does indeed have two settings, but it would have been nicer to have it light one, both or neither bulb. Instead it lights both bulbs halfway or full power. So, if used with CFLs, they will probably meet with a premature end (unless designed for dimmers).

Other than that, it is a nice looking light. If it comes up in a lightning deal for $40 like when I bought it, I think it's a worthwhile investment.

I am pleased with this purchase.

Adesso makes great budget lamps, and I was really please to find a decent replacement for the halogen torchieres. The lamp is fine, considering it is the bottom of the price range.

However, it arrived in a box that had been opened and resealed, evidently returned previously, and the aluminum threads were not in the greatest shape. Therefore the sections didn't screw into each other all the way. If this was going to be in a more visible area and I had more time, I would have returned it.

I am 100% satisfied with my black Bellacor Aries torchiere floor lamp. I like to use standard compact fluorescent bulbs in my lamps vs. incandescent for energy savings. I do not like having to use either the special ring-shaped bulbs that the lamps sold as "fluorescent" use or the special three-way bulbs. The standard ones are cheaper and work in all of my fixtures, so I do not have to keep several different kinds of bulbs around. Because of this, it is important that the lamp take two bulbs so it will be bright enough. It is also important that the lamp not use a dimmer because dimmers do not work well with fluorescent bulbs. The Bellacor Aries takes two bulbs and does not use a dimmer. Instead of a dimmer, the knob-shaped switch has positions for off, one, or both bulbs.

The lamp was a bit hard to assemble. Getting the threads of the various sections to line up correctly when you screw them in takes some doing. (In Bellacor's defense, I have had this problem with almost every torchiere lamp I have ever owned.) Nevertheless, within 15 minutes I had the thing put together perfectly straight and firmly tightened, so five stars. (If I could give 4.5, I would, but it deserves the benefit of the doubt since I cannot.)

I ordered a similar lamp and it cost $48 and has been on back order since Christmas. I finally canceled that order and ordered this one instead (which is about half the price).

The lamp provides a beautiful light show. Its fascinating to watch and almost hypnotic. I didn't notice the buzzing the other reviewer noted maybe because the lamp is on the other side of the room. When I walked over to it and put my ear to it, I could hear some type of sound but it didn't register as buzzing to me. It may be I have some hearing loss and someone with better hearing might notice.

I was so pleased with this purchase. I ordered one for my niece. No regrets, I really like this lamp.

This product is most likely made in China....Need I say more?.....

You can't keep this light plugged in for days at a time, You'll have to unplug it for a few days to let it rest or it will start to go weird and the colors will fade and blend into each other and loose its "colorfulness"....Its way too expensive for the trouble. Not to mention this loud buzzing sound will start to come out of it....Its pretty when you first plug it in but you'll have to buy a new one soon after.
