great light, well built, fast delivery, fair price .But it didn't come with a 120v 1000 watt bulb.The add said 120v fixture. The light fixture had a label affixed to the glass stating "use 208,220,240 or 277v bulb only". it was well built and a fair price exactly what I was looking for .If it had come with a 120v bulb I would have not returned it. Many phone calls later to various electrical suppliers.I was told the bulb would be hard to get and have to be special ordered.At 120v it would draw something like 8amps verses 4amps at 220v. One Email to donna about the mix up and it was all fixed. She said send it back for a full refund no problem. A pleasure to do business with too bad about the mix up in the add and no bulb.

I'm very happy with the design of this lamp. The clear glass spheres and white beads near the top of the lamp post look even better in person than they look on the photo. The beads make this lamp more stylish than your average plain floor lamp w/ white shade, but it's simple enough that it fits in anywhere without clashing with furniture or decorations.

Assembly was also very easy. You just screw each section of the post together and then the lamp shade is secured with a ring that screws it into place. It didn't require any tools.

Unfortunately the lamp shade came with a few dirt smudges. I had to turn the shade so the smudges are facing the wall.

I uploaded a couple of photos of the lamp so that you can see the detail and shade up close.

I purchased this to replace a lamp in my TV room. It's absolutely perfect for my needs. Should I decide to read rather than watch TV, the lamp has sufficient illumination for that purpose. It looks beautiful in the room. The lamp was easy to assemble, which is important for us single ladies.

The lamp works well where it was needed. However, from the picture I could not tell that there were white acrylic balls on the stand and was a little surprised by that detail.

I would have rated the lamp 4 stars if I'd paid full price, but I got it at a discount (open box item) which made it a fabulous deal. I really like this lamp and so do friends and family, who've complimented the look of it. It's really nice and doesn't take up space on the end table. If it goes on sale, I'll buy another to match this one.

This pendant is quite large at 20'' and is ideally suited to the vaulted ceiling in my room.(It comes with enough rod segments to suit almost any height of ceiling). I wanted a clean modern look and one that would not be a dust collector. This gives a nice bright warm glow with a 43 watt CFL bulb or could use up to a 150 watt conventional bulb. The bulb is high enough within the shade that there is no glare for those seated nearby. The fact that the shade is open at the bottom will make it easier to change bulbs when that becomes necessary. An excellent choice for a contemporary style room.

I have wanted this 36" wide eagle for a few years now. It's been on my Amazon wish list for at least three years. NOW, thanks to Paul, it is MINE!! ((( hugs to Paul )))

Seems to be cast aluminum, however its weight seems much heavier than what I expected aluminum to be. It comes in three pieces (2 wings, 1 body) which are carefully mounted onto sturdy pieces of cardboard and then a heavy clear plastic is shrink-wrapped over the entire piece.

Since the weather prevents me from mounting this to the house right now (Christmas time), I will update my review when it is complete installed. But for now, I am very thrilled to have it and highly recommend this to others!

Reviews of OttLite 20M30BZD Marietta Table Lamp, Antiqued Bronze (20 Watt)

OttLite 20M30BZD Marietta Table Lamp, Antiqued Bronze
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I bought this lamp over a year ago, and was reasonably satisfied once I accepted the limitation of the bulb type. I wanted a lower brightness, and had to buy a new bulb on line and not utilize the one that came with the lamp.

The lamp served it's purpose in the same location since I bought it, until the base fell apart. The weight in the base is a cement-filled plastic housing. I discoverd the lamp listing, and when I picked it up to investigate, this cement/plastic base fell out of the bottom. The plastic had ruptured, so the bolt that held it in the base had nothing to hold, leaving a mess on my desk of plastic pieces and cement chunks, and an otherwise perfect lamp useless.

I contacted Ott to buy another cement/plastic weight to bolt into the lamp, but they will not sell the piece. They checked the manufacture date and since it was over a year, no help. I threw the lamp and the two working bulbs away (no other lights in my house use the special bulb).

I have pictures of the base issue I'll try to post here.

This light fits me room perfectly and is very bright with the ability to aim it down so it lights up the room just right.

Best Deals for OttLite 20M30BZD Marietta Table Lamp, Antiqued Bronze (20 Watt)

I bought this lamp because I was struggling to see my knitting in our dimly lit living room. I wanted a lamp that looked like it fit in with our decor and wasn't too utilitarian looking. I love the look of the lamp, and I knew it would be bright, but I thought I could use the Ott lamp to replace a table lamp in my living room. I was wrong. It's great for task-specific light (my knitting has never been easier to see) but it also destroys the ambiance of my room. It's like a spotlight on a stage--and the rest of the stage is pitch black. I think I may have to rearrange the lighting in my room, possibly even buy another lamp, so that the room becomes comfortable again.

Still, I can't give this a bad review because the lamp does what it is advertised as doing. It is excellent for task lighting. I was just hoping it would also work in other living areas.

I love the look of this lamp, but discovered two problems. The bulb is non-standard, and non-dimmable. I plugged the lamp into a dimmable outlet so that I could adjust the light for my comfort level, but the light is either on, or off. There is no in between, and since it's a non-standard bulb, I can't replace the bulb with a dimmable bulb. Disappointing.

Moffatt 95021 Task Lamp, Incandescent/Halogen Type, Magnet Base Review

Use them in my wood shop on everything; lathe, band saw, carving station, drill press. 100 watts of task lighting the helps my old eyes see much better. Love the stiff neck that stays in place even on the lathe.

I almost didn't order this based on a previous review. Either the company (Made in USA, by the way) changed the magnetic base or the previous reviewer had a "bad" magnet. This seems unlikely. The lamp is heavy-duty: thick gauge cord, amazingly robust gooseneck and a solid feel to the switch.

I put it on the cast iron base of a die filing machine and had zero movement from the magnetic base even though I really tried. The only "problem" was getting the magnet loose when I decided to place it on a different position on the machine.

I've used other, very expensive, machine lights and in terms of quality and function, it's very comparable. A very fair price.

I personally don't think the magnet-base is powerful enough for how rigid the gooseneck arm is. I appreciate the rigidity as the lamp holds in place very well. However, whenever I attempt to adjust the lamp, the magnetic base breaks free and the lamp comes loose. I am placing it on a pretty thick and solid metal base.

I'm sure this is a good product for some, not quite what I wanted. The arm could loosen up over time, but I'm not sure that is what I really want.

The bulb cover is plastic not metal, and the switch is oddly located at the top of the lamp (which I can see in the picture but mistook for something else).

Overall a solid product that was not right for my application.

Best OXYLED T100 Dimmable Eye-care LED Desk Lamp Deals

OXYLED T100 Dimmable Eye-care LED Desk Lamp
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This is a beautiful and stylish lamp that is ideal for a desk lamp where you will be reading and working. This is a low power LED lamp that produces a bright and clean light without flickering, shadows glaring or dark areas. The lamp comes with an instruction manual and an AC wall adapter power supply. The power supply is UL listed and rated to operate at 100 to 240 VAC and 50/60 Hz. The output is 24 VDC at .25 Amps. The power cord was 76.5 inches.

When the lamp is plugged in the LED in the center of the lamp control is red and touching it turns the lamp on. There are 6 levels of brightness adjustment and whatever level was the last you used will come on as the default the next time your turn on the lamp. There are six Blue LEDs that light up to show you the brightness level setting.

The lamp has a non-flickering LEDs design that emits a light color temperature of 5000k which is a good light color to be used for reading or writing. The fact that the LEDs are not flickering makes the lamp light easier on your eyes. If you notice in my video the lamplight is not flickering at all which is unusual for LED dimmable lights. This lamp uses a PWM or Pulse Width Modulated signal that is fed into an integrated circuit for that smooths the signal to eliminate the potential LED flicker. The LEDs have a 10 year life cycle when used 7 hours per day and 365 days a year. This is over 25000 hours of use.

The lamp is not a tall one and in my video it is set about 12 inches above the table. This is not enough to get over the top of a computer monitor so this lamp is more ideal for a desk where you are reading or writing or want to highlight a work area.

The operation of the lamp is cool to the touch and this is nice for a lamp for a children's desk. I use 50 Watt halogen 12 VDC bulbs in some desk lamps and they get very hot and you can burn yourself if you touch the lamp. This LED light it is absolutely cool to the touch. It uses less than 1/7 the wattage of my 50 Watt halogen lamps.

The lamp comes assembled and you can adjust the curve of the lamp neck to fit your needs. Just remember to use both hands when adjusting it and make sure that you don't just lift from one end of the lamp hood for example and put a lot of stress on the lamp neck. Don't sharply bend the neck and kink it. It is a nicely built lamp and sturdily made of high quality materials. The lamp comes with a 3 year guarantee from the date of purchase. The lamp is available in red or black.

I like this product and I rate it at 5 stars.

I was supplied with a sample for test and evaluation and I promised to provide a fair and honest review.

As other reviews have said, this really is a terrific desk lamp. It's incredibly easy to work with, puts out a very nice even white light and has a good range of dimmer settings.

We got this for our nursery so we can have varying levels of light to take care of our twins at night and try not to over stimulate them.

I got this partly because of it's energy efficiency. According to my kill a watt, the energy that this lamp consumes ranges from about .6 watts up to about 7 watts. Each dimmer setting adds approximately one watt as it increases.

I guess my only complaint and removal of one star is due to the fact that the lamp draws power while it is off. I have night lights that draw less power than this does. I suspect this is due to how the touch dimmer interface requirements but for efficiency, I'd love for this lamp to have essentially a 0 watt draw when it is off. Perhaps that isn't fair for a star removal as it is a pretty small watt draw while off but it just seems like a slight waste in energy for something that is so efficient while it is actually turned on.

UPDATE 5/2/2013:

After posting my previous update, I got a call from Brandy of customer service and she notified me that they just got a new shipment in and would send me a replacement along with a shipping label for the defective unit. Because of their customer service level and because the lamp in essence is a very nice lamp with a good aesthetic design, I upgraded my review back to 5 stars. I sincerely hope I won't run into the same problem as before and that the lamp will last me a long time. If anyone has the same or similar problem as mine, unplug the unit from the outlet, after about a day, plug it back in and leave it plugged in for a day or two until the power indicator is bright red, then try to turn it on again. This is how I had to get mine working again.

UPDATE 4/30/2013:

I was able to get a response from the company and am glad to see they are willing to work with me so I am upgrading my star rating to 3 stars. The only thing is, they don't have the lamp in stock and if I choose to get a refund, it's only $52 out of the $80 I spent, which would not be a cost effective choice for me since it means I spent $28 on a lamp that only lasted a few months. In terms of the lamp, after unplugging it to stop the flickers, replugging it would not work, so I just kept it plugged in and did not touch it for a couple days. Afterwards, the power light was glowing a strong red, and it powered on just fine with the flicker being gone as far as I could tell both in the powered off mode and low power mode. It seems that there may be a problem with some electronic component of the lamp. At least I can use the lamp again until I resolve this issue with the customer service.

UPDATE 4/25/2013:

Well after less than 6 months, I downgraded this light to 1 star from 5 stars. Here is the problem, the past week, even though the unit is powered off, it intermittently starts flickering on and off which was very annoying. Then, at low power settings, you would again see the intermittent flickering. It probably happens in the high power settings as well but is harder to tell. So when it happened, especially before I sleep I would unplug the power cable from behind the lamp. The next day when I plug it back in, the lamp won't work at all. The red LED on the on/off "button" would barely be lit. Sometimes unplugging it and replugging it will get it working again. So at this point I'm not sure if it is the AC adaptor that is bad or if some electronic component in the base of the lamp is bad. Yes this lamp does have a 3 year warranty but their oxyled.com website is not valid, I had to do a search for their actual company Hisgadget Inc. and send an email to them. I'm still waiting for a response, so far 24 hours has passed since I emailed them. For the price I paid, this is very unacceptable.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

I bought this light to replace a fluorescent desk lamp. I like how it requires no warm up time. Also, the yellow highlights in my textbook are very easy to see with this light, I believe because of its color temperature. With the fluorescent bulb I really had trouble seeing the yellow highlight colors which was very annoying. This lamp also diffuses the light very well unlike many LED lights which tend to have a very focused beam. Whether or not this lamp will help with eye strain, I do not know as of yet.

Some things that could be improved is a longer neck, maybe 1.251.5x longer because as it is now, I have to have the lamp right next to me and had to rearrange things because of it. Also, the brightest setting could be brighter, it's definitely fine enough given the current length of the neck, but if it had more brightness, I could put the lamp on top of my printer where the old one was, but unfortunately when I do that (to show more light on my desk), it's just not bright enough.

On the plus side, with its shorter neck, the light housing is right below my eye level which I guess helps with eye strain as opposed to the light shining right in your eye!

When I use this lamp I found the best setting is to use full power when reading and about half power when using my laptop.

To be honest, I don't know if this lamp is really worth $80! That seems kind of expensive, but then again, many LED desk lamps are in that price range as well, so apparently you still need to pay a premium for this kind of LED desk lamp. For my purposes of lighting up my whole desk area including my laptop and several books, this product seems too small and weak. If I took my laptop out of the equation, then I can position this lamp to illuminate several books.

Honest reviews on OXYLED T100 Dimmable Eye-care LED Desk Lamp

I had been searching for a quality LED desk lamp for a while and finally decided to get this LED ONE T100 (black) after some research and reading lots of online reviews. It's been more than two weeks now since I received the product and I'm very happy about the purchase and satisfied with the quality of this desk lamp.

The lamp produces really nice soft, cool lights and it's comfortable for long period of time of reading and desk work. The amount of lights can be controlled by the dim touch switch on the base, the dim setting is indicated by cool looking small blue LED indicators arranged in a circle, nice design.

The top of the lamp cover is made of some kind of metal, it should help dissipate the limited heat generated by the LED bulbs and help prolong the life of the bulbs.

Amazon service was great and I got the package 2 days after I placed the order.

I looked at dozens of desk lamps at Amazon, then finally selected this one even though the price was higher and I am glad I did. The dimmable LED light has a very good spectrum without glare which is very good for reading. The neck is both very flexible and stiff enough for a wide range of positions. While it was not cheap the value is still very good. The design of the dimming switch looks cool and works well..... overall a very good product.
