These lights are better than I had hoped. They look good, were easy to instal and most importantly provide just the right light for me to read by while my husband sleeps. The lights are dimmable so you can set just the right brightness level, my book is lit just enough for me to read comfortably while my husband's side of the bed is pretty dark. I also like that we can turn the light on and off from either side of the bed, so when my husband has not come to be yet after I finish reading I can turn my light off and set his on to very low so he can see his way to his side of the bed without dusturbing me.
Very good buy, would recommend to any couple who go to bed at different times or one reads while the other sleeps.

Does the job. One light for me & one for my wife. Dimable is awesome. Style and quality are so-so.Best Deals for Kovacs GK P4440 2 Light Adjustable Wall Sconce from the Second
Looks good (see picture of it on my wall), OK quality, works well. Seems kind of expensive compared to floor lights and track lights of similar quality, but there aren't many wall mount reading lights to choose from and the two dimmer switches account for some of the cost. I'm not crazy about goose neck lamps, but for the moment they are stiff enough to hold the lamps in position reasonably well. It works well as a bedroom reading light. Dimmed down and pointed away, your partner can still sleep (maybe).I did run into one problem during installation. It comes with screws and drywall anchors, however the screws are too large for drywall anchors and can't be screwed in. If you try to force them, they will just tear loose from the drywall. I replaced them with anchors I had sitting in the garage. You will need a level, drill, and screwdriver, and a bit of skill to actually get it mounted level.
As far as people's complaints about changing the bulb, mine came with a suction cup gripper that makes changing the bulb pretty easy (you can't grip the bulb with your fingers). Of course you will almost certainly lose the suction cup before the bulb burns out. Oh well, try using a window hook suction cup instead.
I wanted to put LED bulbs in the lamp, but the dimmers are rated for incandescent only. I was going to try them anyway, but the suction cup would not stick to the LED bulbs and I was unable to put them in. We mostly use the lamp dimmed down pretty low, so the LEDs probably wouldn't have been a great choice anyway.
Honest reviews on Kovacs GK P4440 2 Light Adjustable Wall Sconce from the Second
This lamp has proven a good solution to the problem of one spouse wanting to read while the other one sleeps. Bedside lamps were OK, but we like the fact that these lights can be aimed at the book (iTouch, phone, etc). The dimmer feature is also handy when you need a little bit of light--but don't want to turn on a bright light and wake up your partner. Yes--they do get hot. Very hot. So be careful when you touch them.The only problem we encountered was disappointment upon opening the box. This lamp set is not "bronze"--as described, but black--as pictured on this page. The only other option was nickel, which won't work with our decor. Not a big problem, but enough to dock one star for the mismatch.
