This was a quick easy transaction. It occurred to me that my beloved Reveal bulbs might become hard to buy and I truly detest the light from CFL bulbs. I am also in pursuit of 100 watt bulbs.

GE, Sylvania-Osram, Philips... of all the major bulb manufacturing companies, I've never been too particular because they all function the same provide light. If you would come to my house, you'd see bulbs from all 3 different manufacturers. However in this instance, I purchased these bulbs because:

1) Incandescents are now banned and becoming harder to find.

2) CFLs, despite energy efficient, are roughly 400% 800% more per bulb than incandescents

3) The most important, my wife wanted all the bulbs to match in each room. (Because of the price of CFL, I can't afford to spend over $400 to make all the bulbs in my house match.)

When I came across this item on Amazon (the 48-pack), I did my match calculations and saw that these bulbs came down to exactly $1 each. If you buy a 4-pack from Amazon, such as GE 48689 75-Watt A19 Reveal Bulbs, 4-Pack, you're paying $6.98, or $1.75 per bulb. So I saved 75 cents per bulb by buying this in bulk. But I'm questioning if I made the right choice...

You see, when I received my bulbs from Amazon, they came in a box with all 48-bulbs in individual 4-packs tightly fitted to the box. However, there was no padding whatsoever and the box seems to have been slightly abused by the carrier. I already gave a poor review on Amazon's shipping for this particular item but I'm not docking any stars because what I'm reviewing here is the bulbs themselves. But I can't help to think that the impact of the box moving around via the carrier has somehow related to the fact that I received bad bulbs. Yes, I've had bad bulbs already.

I immediately removed 2 4-packs and used 8 bulbs throughout my house to replace the current lighting. 2 of the 8 bulbs were bad the filament was somehow dislodged and you could hear the filament move around in the bulb when you shake the bulb. Furthermore, I know these bulbs were bad because in the case of frosted bulbs (which is just a powder-like coating, I saw the filament remove the coating on the inside as it moved around (looks like an Etch-A-Sketch). So because of this, I'm already down by $2. Again, I'm not docking the review, but just letting you know that 2 of my 8 bulbs tested so far are bad. Makes you wonder how many others are bad too in the box I haven't tested...

Anyway, the bulb itself when lit, is less warm than the standard incandescent light bulbs. I know the Neodymium coating on the inside is supposed to filter the natural yellow color of incandescent lights and it does filter it out to a degree, but not completely. Comparing two bulbs side-by-side, incandescents typically have a color temperature of 2700K to 3000K. Despite my bulbs being advertised as "full spectrum", I don't think they are. I have full-spectrum CFLs and those bulbs look snow white. These GE Reveals appear to be about 3200K 3500K. That range is still yellow and to remove the yellowness without going blue, you have to hover around 4000K.

If you prefer incandescents, I can recommend the Reveal bulbs & they are probably as close as you'll get to "white lights" before you start using CFLs & other lighting technologies.

Credit should be given where due. While 98% of lighting offered to the general public is at best ghastly, devoid of taste, this fixture is simple, elegant, understated and has the ability to be upgraded with just a few simple details. I added some smart rosettes to the Ball bolts as well as some additional chain links to the four arms. I did it to introduce some upgraded elements as well as an under-canopy acanthus leaf detail. Since the light reflects upward as well, these details are then highlighted. Altogether it gives an impression of a much more expensive alabaster fixture. One wonders just who it is designing lighting fixtures for these companies. Most are awful in the extreme. Why is it that taste in America has dropped so far? Dudes, get it together!

While I like the design of the lamp, I didn't know that it was dusk-to-dawn, which really isn't a problem, I just didn't get that from the description. It requires a special light bulb which I hope isn't hard to find when it needs replaced.

To me this seems cheap. The branch material is white electrical tape. The lights are nice, but mine came with no power adapter. This seems like it would be a nice thing to put on a wedding table, but not as a permanent fixture in a home. For $50 you can get a pretty nice table lamp. If you are in the market for a table lamp don't get this! If you are in the market for a sparkly thing to hide in a corner or use as a throw-away center-piece, then this would probably fit your bill.

Hope that helps.

I have owned this lamp for many years without problem. There are five lamps, and all are somewhat movable. They can be spread out or can be brought together. My model has a switch that turns on 2, 3, or all 5. The brass finish is durable and shiny. The base is weighted for added stability. The base fits under the couch. The bulbs are 60 watt.

This is a beautiful lamp especially behind a sectional couch. We had ordered the Ore International lamp previously and it was a huge disappointment. Parts were missing and the packaging was in shreds. The pieces inside were shabbily wrapped. We returned it immediately and hesitated to reorder another lamp like this. After doing research on this Coaster lamp we took the chance and were not disappointed. It came protectively wrapped. All the pieces were there and it wasn't difficult to put together. It looks beautiful behind our sectional and has a dimmer switch that really makes the lamp handy. I would never purchase from Ore International again but recommend any Coaster product based on our experience.

The product had a lot of damage when we received it but we were fully compensated by the seller and that is a fault of the packaging and delivery method rather than the actual product itself.

It was a very bright, garish brass as well, a lot more so than in the picture and very tall so tall that only a large, old house would fit it. The base was also rather unsightly and I was not convinced that it would hold the weight of the lamp stable enough with kids around bumping into it and pulling on it.

I would not recommend the purchase of this product in any way.

Honest reviews on 5 Head Overhead Sofa Floor Lamp in Brass Finish

It seems overhead lamps in polished brass are not all that easy to find these days, and I was happy to find a good one offered on Amazon. I'm very pleased with this overhead (spider) lamp now prominently on display behind a new sectional sofa. The overall quality is fine and the color of the polished brass is proper, not overdone as was mentioned in another review. The lamp assembly and adjustment of the 5 lamp arms was easy; took less than 30 minutes. The base foot of the lamp is pretty heavy and holds the 84" high lamp securely in place. All 5 40W bulbs light up and can put out plenty of bright light, if desired; rotate the knob to set/adjust the brightness. I also bought a simple remote control switch from Amazon for use with this lamp and it all works together perfectly. Good overall quality and good value. I definitely recommend this polished brass overhead lamp.

This is not a cheaply made lamp. The base is large enough and very heavy, unlike the ones in stores. The branches are pliable, so be careful when you bend them as they will crimp. But that is not a complaint, just a warning, after the first one, I was more careful....a great price, a great product. We love this lamp.

Packaging has a bit to be desired, arrived with a broke cover (luckily not needed for my application). The back needs to be drilled if you're not going to top-mount it. It uses a lot less energy than the old incandescent bulb-type. The emergency lights aren't very bright, but they'll suffice for your standard power-outage situation.

This was the best price I could find anywhere and the light is as described. It is attractive and went together with no problems at all. i was a little disappointed that it didn't throw more light but if you were painting on a canvas I suppose it would be perfect. Sadly, I was just looking for more ambient light than I got and I don't think I want to purchase the additional lights to go on the stand. I think I may purchase one of the workshop clamp-on lights that you can purchase at Home Depot or Lowe's for a fraction of the cost and see what happens.

The lamp and stand were easy to assemble and illumination was good. However it made an annoying continuous buzzing noise when I turned it on. My expectation was that the lamp would not make any noise. I returned it for a refund. No problem with that process.

The reason this ships with a 20W CFL is because that is the largest it will take. They don't seem to mention that in the description. 20W is not enough light.

A lovely lamp, however the soldering was rough around the edges and some small pieces of soldering came away. Had to change the electrics to 240 via an electrician, as is required in Australia. Suggest that amazon offer either 110 or 240 to cater for more customers' needs. The lamp arrived ahead of time and was well packed. The lamp is very pretty when lit at night.

This is a very attractive lamp. It does not take a regular light bulb though. I did get a compact florescent in it. I also would have preferred to have an actual light switch rather than the cord switch as they are hard to find in the dark. However, that said, I do like it enough that I will not send it back. It looks great in our office and being black and white it goes with everything! The shipper was very quick to ship and it was packaged well.

I bought this floor Lamp a couple of weeks ago to add a delicate yet modern spin to the decor in my flat. I placed this in my hall room and it looks absolutely superb. The "lace" frills definitely add to the overall look. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. There is absolutely no assembly required for this lamp and the only manual steps involved are inserting the bulbs and plugging it into the wall socket. The floor lamp comes with a foot / floor switch with makes it easy to switch it on / off. The ivory color and the way the light shines / reflects through it creates a dreamy look.

I love this lamp, it sets a very soft mood in my home. Because the lamp holds 4 bulbs I put 4 20 watt bulbs in it for a soft look. I have received so many compliments from friends who see it. I would have to say the only down fall is I wish it were a little taller. I have it set on a clear acrylic table so it looks like it's floating. I received it within a week. Very pleased

The lace didn't look as "pearly" as I was hoping (or is shown in the picture) it looks more like ruffles, almost like what you'd find on a wedding dress. Still, absolutely gorgeous lamps! I have one on either side of an ivory couch with gold pillows and a white throw, underneath a gold mirror, and they make the living room look like a 5-star hotel. They put off a soft yet bright ambiance. Love them!

Honest reviews on Lace Tower Floor Lamp

They look very luxurious on the picture. This is what I expected to get, to beautify my living room. Instead, I got something that looked like a craft project wire carcass, chip fabric around it and then the ruffles are hot-glued on it. It already started flaking out in some places. It smells pretty badly, especially when you turn the lights on and the fabric warms up. I only can wonder what happens when I need to clean them the fabric case is not removable, and ruffles are so dust magnet, I don't know if I can have it clean enough by "spot clean only". I was extremely disappointed. For this kind of money, knowing the right places to shop, I could find something really of a nicer quality. The only reason I didn't return them is because I'd have to pay for the return shipping myself.

My advice for these kind of purchases better try to see it somewhere in person first, and then order online if you get lower price.

Just what i was looking for, slim design, and a bright light!.. The light dose have one slight flaw, the bulbs are clear, which creates a glare on the glass of the picture,would have givin it 5 stars if it had a frosted lense.
