While this light is rated as a Dark Sky fixture, don't let it fool you into thinking it means minimal light. This fixture lights up the area really well without blasting light out to the neighbors. We don't have street lights where we live, so a blaring light is really visible in an unbalance kind of way. This light is rated for 100 watts, but I used a 60-watt bulb and it was plenty of light for outdoor dining and illuminating the pathway.

I love this chandelier. I bought it to go over my kitchen table and it is fabulous. It's the perfect size for a 4 chair table and the colors are vibrant and happy. I'm very pleased. I didn't need a professional to install it, but I don't know enough not to electrocute myself if I'd tried it. So, I let my dad do it for me. He did a marvelous job, and it looks wonderful and works perfectly.

Looks just like the photo. It has a chain, so you can decide the height at which it will hang. One of the faceted "jewels" is missing, so I will write the company and ask them to send another, but it will be easy to attach.

I ordered a Lilly Lamp from Discount Deans and the lamp came broken. I then e-mailed them through Amazon to let them know what happened. Dan from customer service told me to give him a call and he rectified the situation right off the bat. I ordered another lamp right before I got in touch with him and not only did he immed. send another, but I had a refund check in the mail only 3 days later to credit me for the broken one! I am rating them only 4 stars instead of 5 because the first one did come broken and since I am waiting for the new one to come in, I can't comment on that as of yet. As far as customer service goes though, they're fantastic and I would have NP purchasing future products through their company.

Table Top Lamp Review

I have purchased several small lamps to use in doing close work and for photography of small objects. None of the lamps worked well because the light is not strong enough, and the light doesn't cover a large enough work area. I purchased this Daylight lamp because it is BIG! It is a huge improvement over the Ott Lite I was using.

The Ott Lite was the type in which the light turns on when you flip up the arm containing the bulb. The Ott Lite bulb is only about 6" long, and I had to have my work directly under its small pool of not-very-bright light. The Ott Lite bulb also is only 10" above the work surface. The Daylight bulb is 8" long, and is raised 23" above the work surface. The light is significantly brighter, and creates a much larger pool of light to work under. It's a huge improvement.

The magnifying glass of the Daylight lamp is easily removable if you don't need it. The lamp has a very long flexible stem which I love. I can bend and twist that lamp in all directions, which allows me to turn my attention to other objects on the work surface, and is really helpful with lighting angles for closeup photography, though I do need to bend the lamp close to the object in order to get a good photo (without using the camera flash). The color of the light is "clean", not yellow like regular house lighting. Though I need to invest in better photographic lighting, this lamp is filling in adequately until that time.

I haven't seen any other lamps of this type that have had such flexibility. I rated it a 4, because I still would like to have a lamp with even stronger light.

I make a lot of quilt tops, also I am a "night person", the later it gets the more energetic and creative I get. This lamp shows the TRUE colors at any hour of the day/night. I use it for rotary cutting light, fabric color matching/blending, it is great. It is also very helpful when beading, shows up the colors and openings, making it less stressful to see everything. I like it so much, I have 2 table lamps and 1 floor lamp. You won't be disappointed, take care, enjoy life...........

I liked this lamp a lot when I got it and have it on my desk all the time. After a period of time, though, the collar holding the lamp itself onto the gooseneck cracked, and now the lamp just flops down. It won't stay up. Contacting the Daylight company was to no avail. "We don't make this model any more and can't help you." The lamp was useful, but sure made cheaply at the points where it should have been more durable. I also bought an extra bulb. I wish now I hadn't. Maybe it will fit in a new model? Do I want to spend another 100 bucks? I don't think so. I am not happy.

Honest reviews on Table Top Lamp

I use my craft lamp several hours a day while I bead. The flexible arm makes it easy to find the optimal height, and the bulb doesn't get overly hot. My only complaint is with the magnifying glass, which is of poor quality. And the stem end doesn't fit well into the holder on the lamp.

I've had this light and magnifier for a year now, primarily use it for tying flies at my table. I got it from Amazon with free shipping, it came well packaged and only too 3 days to arrive. The price was very good as well.

All in all, it is a very nice light, the characteristics are ideal for tying flies and doing other detailed work in the shop. You can adjust the head of the light for various angles, or move the goose-neck itself to totally reposition the light out of the way, or get a different angle, etc. The mount that the bottom of the light goose-neck fits into is fairly tight, but I've noticed that it is loosening up a bit with use. We'll have to see how it does over time.

The spectrum of light provided is very good; much better than typical incandescent or florescent light. So the colors of the materials I select for my flies, are about as close to what you'd have in natural lighting. Hey, I've also noticed I need a little more light the older that I get too, and have found myself using the light/magnifier for small electrical projects, reel maintenance, etc.

The magnifier goose-neck is fairly rigid and a little difficult to get it to stay in shape at times. So you sometimes need to bend it a few times, to get it where you exactly want/need it. Even so, it is easy to swivel out of the way when you don't need it. However, I've noticed that the lens itself does scratch easily and tends to collect dust. So be sure to use one of those micro-fibre rags with a little moisture to clean it up -anything else causes scratches!

The base has a felt material on the bottom, and would be a little better if this was a rubber material that grasps the surface better. Sometimes the base will slide on the table top, when you swivel the lens on the base to get it out of the way. [I had it fall on the floor one time when I wasn't paying attention, so I may glue a piece of 1/8" mouse pad on the bottom, if it happens again.]

It comes with a 5-6' cord, which is long enough to plug into a nearby wall outlet. My old light/magnifier only had a 3' cord, and I had to use an extension cord with it. The on-off switch gets used at least 2 or 3 times a day and I was concerned that that might be a problem (based on the problem I had with my old light). But so far it is working just like the day I got it.

It's a nice size. Not too big, but not too small for a standard-size door without side lights. Otherwise you may want a larger light with more "presense", so it doesn't "disappear".

My major issue is the shades are very amber in color not the frosted glass appearance as shown in the photo.

The finish was not perfect on any of the three I ordered. And one bar, that cages the glass, was bent inwards towards the glass.

Not enough to go through the hassle of returning and I feared I may get something worse than I had. Kinda that thing "going with the devil that you know".

Buy Philips 431650 Hue Personal Wireless Lighting, Single Bulb

Customer Ratings:

First off Hue is expensive and not something anybody really needs. However, it's one of those things that has a high cool factor and if your into gadgets whats $200 bucks. I am a gadget guy and had the $200 so I went for it. Hue arrived via Amazon, so he was right on time and a day early. I couldn't wait to get him out of the box and give him a test run. It was incredibly easy to set up. I mean really easy, so don't worry about that. First download the app on to your Ipad or Iphone from the Apple App Store. Secondly plug the Hue Bridge into your router with the included ethernet cable (you need an open port on your router) and screw the pricey bulbs into a fixture. Then push the button on the Hue Bridge and grab your device and start making rainbow colored rooms. Everything worked perfectly the first time, the router found the bulds and the app controlled the whole thing. Really very cool, it worked exactly as it should.

One other thing about Hue, it does not work with Dimmer switches. Hue has a built in dimmer system, so you need to switch out the dimmer switches or keep them on full power all the time. That is easier said than done as by habit you turn the lights off when leaving a room. Not having the switch turned on makes the light bulbs not respond, So you need to have all the lights switched on with power flowing. Hue then controls the power to the lights via the bulbs,

Living with HUE

Your whole life you are conditioned to turn off lights when you exit the room. You just flip the switch and its done. Same thing for turning on the lights, its easy and simple. Hue changes this simple everyday thing into a much more complicated process. To turn on or off the lights you must first locate your phone or iPad wherever you laid it down or worse someone else takes it away to another room. Once you find your Ipad/Iphone,. enter your lock code and then find the Hue App open it and then look for the turn off lights button. This drives me nuts, it be no problem if you had an Ipad at every light switch. This is the one thing that I think makes Hue totally not practical for anyone but a single person living alone. Imagine hunting down the iPad that your kid took upstairs etc etc.

This issue changed the relationship i thought I would have with Hue. I thought, this would be the future of lighting, sit back adjust the lights and live in a full spectrum of mood altering colors.

Reality is Hue traps you in a room where you can't turn on or off the lights without locating your phone! I was ready to kick Hue out of my house as he was not what I thought he would be. Then it dawned on my I was expecting to much of Hue, especially in my house. Hue became an expensive accent light here and there. We put him in some cheap spot light fixtures and move him around the house. I would take him into the bedroom and he would turn it into the glowing red hot love volcano. On Sundays, we turn the kitchen lime green and have breakfast on Mars, the kids love it! You can have a lot of fun with Hue just use your imagination.

Hue works great and it is really cool. Lots of wow factor, just think about the practicality of Hue in your home. For us it went from a serious lighting system to basically a toy we really enjoy. For my family, Hue has been great, it has brought us some fun times and it creates a lot of joy and laughter. What else could you want from any product.

I hope that my experience with Hue helps you understand the product better, it's uses and it's limitations. Thanks for reading.

At first, the only way to I could justify this $200 item for gadget junkies is to consider it a new fun "toy". Well, they are a TON OF FUN, especially if you add a couple of extra Hue apps. People love them and most buy their own set soon. However we quickly realized these are also enhancements to our home which are totally worth the price. Our expectations were exceeded and in 3 weeks we went from the 3 pack starter kit to 8 bulbs, yes 5 more bulbs at $60 each and we are totally happy with them.

Update Sep 2013: We added the Hue LightStrip over the fireplace, it's great at lighting the wall only. Hue app as of 1.4 now syncs scene timers on the Hue app between IOS devices.

Here's how we use them:

* Control lighting color/intensity for activities like watching TV (blue), entertaining (purple), cooking (various colors), etc.

* Automatically turn on Living Room (med/blue) and kitchen night lights (low purple) at 8:30 , bedroom night light at 11:00 (red). They all turn off 1:00am if we forget.

* No need to go to the wall dimmer to adjust lights as the evening changes, the iPad is also our universal remote (Roomie, which supports Hue) and our cordless phone (Bria) so one device controls everything.

* From bed, turn all the lights off with one tap, no more "who's getting up to turn off the lights".

* Multiple bulbs in a room on the same circuit are dimmed independently, much better than a single wall dimmer! Different areas of a room (doorway vs seating vs TV area) can have different intensities or colors. We have a deck with 2 bulbs, one near the door is brighter than one near seating.

* Use them as night lights since the bulbs maximum power draw is only 8.5 watts. When set low they draw about as much as a normal nitelight, 3-4 watts.

* Control lights remotely from iPhones wherever we are. Turning them on for security or our pets, or off when we forgot.

* The geofencing feature turned on the lights as we drove into the driveway, even with the Hue app closed!

* If there is an intruder we can turn any/all lights on from bed using iPads or iPhones which are always at arms reach.

* We replaced our dimmers ($45-60 each) and simplified wall wiring.

* My wife got the "disco" ball she always wanted in the kitchen (don't ask), but better, hue has strobe and other effects such as changing to music with additional apps.

BASICS

The bulbs replace a convention light bulb. They can display a range of colors and intensities, all controlled from an iPad, iPhone or iPod. I was very concerned to control something as critical as lights via wifi. I did not want to deal with issues for something that should always just work. Well, 3 months later and there have been no issues at all, even after power failures timers work perfectly.

OPERATION

The bulbs must have full AC power, they cannot be dimmed via wall dimmers. When powered off then on they are white, the Hue app controls everything after they are on. You should always leave the wall switch on for most or all indoor bulbs. However, there may cases where you want them powered off then on with a wall switch. For instance, we use an iPad to control on/off of all 5 inside bulbs, but 3 bulbs on 2 outside decks are turned on/off via wall switches while iPad controls their colors, etc. ISSUE: We had problems with electronic dimmers even when set full on that required us to change them to simple switches. You have to learn not to turn off the lights when leaving a room, this is a hard habit to break.

If you plan to install Hue bulbs in multiple rooms it helps a LOT if you have app devices in different rooms, then you can control any light in the house from any room with an app device. This makes a huge difference because without them you must locate your app device to change a light. Of course you could carry the device while in the house but most people don't want to do that. We were lucky to already have multiple iPads since we use them as A/V remote controllers and cordless phones.

BRIGHTNESS

We were surprised that when set to bright white they look brighter than 60 watt bulbs. The 3 in the kitchen are more than enough for normal activity but there are also spotlights over the sink and stove. Our decks are now much brighter than before.

SETUP

Initial setup is very simple and quick, we had it up and running in about 6 minutes, deciding what you want and customizing the first three bulbs may take 10-15 minutes. Here are the steps:

1. Download and install the Hue app on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch from the iTunes App store, it's free.

2. Plug in the Hue Bridge into an ethernet connection with the included or other cable, No Wifi on the bridge. Most people will connect to a router but other devices connected to the router will work. In my case the Bridge is connected to an Airport Extreme in bridge mode which is connected to an ethernet switch on the other side of the house which is connected to a Zyxel router connected to DSL. If all that works with no changes then most of you should be fine.

3. Plug the Hue Bridge in the wall for power.

4. Once the bridge is active, screw one to more bulbs into sockets and power them up.

5. This step is needed for EACH iPad, etc. that has the Hue app installed: Start the app, then push the button on the Hue bridge.

6. Play with colors and intensities.

To allow syncing of scenes (you will learn them easily) between app devices (iPads, etc.) OR use geofencing (see caveat below) which will turn lights on as you get close to home (or auto turn them off as you leave) you must:

7. Setup a free ID at the meethue.com web site.

8. Go to the Hue app settings and login to the meet hue site. You can leave the app logged on all the time.

COST

They can save energy when used as timed night lights, and eliminate the need to install dimmers.

CAVEATS:

* Geofencing only works with 1 device, you can't have 2 iPhones using geofencing at the same time. Hopefully, this will be fixed.

* The Hue app groups bulbs into "scenes" for 1 click operation, but multiple scenes for a room can't be grouped together into a folder to simplify organization. Customizing "scenes" is a little cumbersome and could be easier, but we picked it up quickly.

* Hue can't replace all lighting because there are no hardware controls for them, some rooms are impractical to run from an app like a closet, bathroom, etc. I would love Philips to make a wall mounted a/c powered controller.

* Update Sep 2013: Syncing now updates scene timer settings between multiple IOS devices.

After only a month we are sold on this technology and will never go back, this is the future of lighting. We purchased ours at Apple stores since it was easy to bring back quickly if we didn't like them.

$200 bucks for 3 light bulbs? Hmmm... Well, all I can say is that if you are a techie and enjoy adjusting your environment (music, lighting, climate, etc) this is your gadget. One of the few things I have purchased that my wife is learning to use because she likes the impacts. The bulb over our infant in the kitchen gets a warm mellow glow while the 3 over her head get full blast energize. We have no regrets about buying the starter pack and 3 additional bulbs. It is not a need but if you can toss $300 bucks to the pile that is for having fun in life get them. They perform well, software is great and got it working on three phones without issue. Even adding the extra bulbs was easy. Most fun I've had since the iPad came out.

Honest reviews on Philips 431650 Hue Personal Wireless Lighting, Single Bulb

I received this product from my girlfriend for Christmas, and I have to say that it is the most reliable wifi enabled device I own. Since we've installed them, we have had zero issues with the connectivity. Another nice aspect of the design is that you can control them from your computer as well. You can also get involved in the Phillips Hue community, and sample other members' scenes, or even share your own. It's incredibly easy to install.

Another thing to mention is that the lights can either be turned on wirelessly or by a conventional switch. This is great if you want to put these in your overhead fixtures, but still want the convenience of switching them on and off without your phone handy -yet still have the ability to change their colors when you do. Extremely handy for lamps, especially those in different rooms, or areas of your home. And because they work remotely, you can check the app to make sure you didn't leave the lights on when you're away.

Don't listen to the poor reviews about them being to expensive, or how easy it would be to do it yourself. The ease and quality of this product alone makes the purchase worth the price. Controlling the lighting from multiple devices is a breeze, and being LED technology, these bulbs should last for well over 50 years. If you like gadgets and can afford this product, the hours of fun you will have will completely out weigh the price tag.

First off wow. I love these bulbs. Second of all these bulbs are married to the receiver they come with, how ever adding bulbs to them is not a problem at all, one controller can handle 50 bulbs trust me I only have one controller for the entire house, and the bulbs can be labeled anything you want like what room and what socket they are in... example: say you have two bulbs in your bed room one in the closet and one in the main area, you can name them on the app what one they are, or if you have a lamp like mine that has five sockets I labeled mine living room lamp bulb one, living room lamp bulb two and so on. Yes these bulbs are expensive... but let us look at this, how many other lighting effects can you use your Apple devise with, or any other smart devise with and how much are they? That's what I thought. Here is the skinny if you don't have an Apple devise don't fret they still work like a standard 60watt bulb using the light switch and give off the same wavelength (color) you just have to use a computer with internet and a wireless router to turn on or off or change the color. Energy savings, these bulbs (if you are using an Apple devise or computer to control them) use .3watts when "off" because they have to maintain a connection to the internet, as for when they are on most I have ever gotten mine to show is 6.4 watts on the brightest whitest setting, and if you just want it to turn on and off and look like a normal 60watt bulb, these bulbs use 5.5 watts. As for the app that controls it... how in the heck are people having a hard time with it?!?! The app does save all of your work, just be smart enough to press save instead of cancel and you have nothing to fear. If you don't know how to plug and play then the problem is not the app it is you. Instead of setting a timer on my phone I let my lights tell me. Set a time using the app and set your lights to change to a different color. When your whole house tells you about your laundry is done by changing the color it is really really hard not to take notice. You can control your lights from anywhere if you have an internet connection (yes even cell phones) and an internet browser. Going away for the week? Set your lights to turn on and off and exactly what lights to turn on and off. The control is phenomenal. Only thing the app developers lack currently is a random setting. Say you are having a party and you want the lights to go crazy like at a club or bar... currently there is no function to allow your lights to change colors randomly other than that I cannot complain. As stated before these bulbs are not cheap ($59.99 each) but they do use ten times less energy than a standard incandescent light bulb and two times less energy than an equivalent compact Florence bulb without the annoying yellow light and they last thousands and thousands of times longer than any other bulb and give you any color you want, think of all the holidays like Halloween and Christmas or Valentine's day the possibilities are literally endless. Give it a shot you will find yourself purchasing more bulbs after your starter pack.

Mine was shipped with no padding around it. No styrofoam or even space between the lamp and the box. I'm surprised the glass wasn't broken. I opened it and it was, of course, bent, so I returned it. That worked out for the best because it looked just a little cheap only because it seemed small. I ordered something different through a local store.

If you like it, I would recommend the larger version. (and I hope they pack yours properly.) You should also know, it's not quite as shiny as the photo. Two of these would probably look nice in a bathroom.

(FYI They blamed UPS. The box was in good condition.)

New LED technology from Pelican, recoil LED. Greater penetrating power or beam when compared to regular LED. However, when compared to other Pelican flashlights with xenon bulbs, the recoiled LED still trails behind in penetration. This is crucial in heavy smoke or fog. But overall a bright flashlight with longer battery life.

When I heard about Pelican's recoil technology I was afraid the light would be to focused and narrow. What I quickly realized is how perfect the spread is. It provides the brightest and strongest beam I have ever seen. When compared to my Maglite it dominates the and actually has a brighter spread. When pointed at pretty much any surface it light the entire 15 ft. area much like a lamp shade does to a regular light bulb. The LED is very reflective and increases the light's spread. On top of all this it comes with a Lifetime warranty from Pelican rendering this Flashlight indestructible. I do prefer a button to turn the light on but the twist cap works just fine. Also a detachable clip would be nice it can sometimes get in the way. But these minuscule setbacks aside the dependability of this flashlight decimates any cons it might have. I highly recommend this product to everyone.

Honest reviews on Pelican SabreLite 2010 Recoil LED Flashlight

Having purchased one of the StealthLite series a number of years ago for my sailboat, I was looking for a larger supplemental flashlight, and having been very pleased with the smaller StealthLite, seemed that the SabreLite 2000 would be a perfect addition to my maritime flashlight arsenal. However the achilles heel was the twist-on switch. I had to send it in for warranty work since it eventually would not turn on, no matter how hard I turned it (even with new batteries). They sent me back a new one. Next thing was that a marina neighbor of mine had dropped something in the water at night and needed to retrieve it. He turned the the lens cover the wrong way the first time he tried to turn it on and let water in-to the light's credit it continued to function, though. I flushed it out and and put a light coat of dielectric grease on the connections with no problems. However, a couple of days ago, I was rummaging through the storage drawer where I keep my flashlights and noticed that the light was on and very dim. I tried replacing the batteries with some extra ones I had but it was still a bit dim, perhaps because the spares were a year shy of their expiration date. I also noticed for the first time that the focal point of the LED was not in the center of the lens/reflector assembly. That revelation was the last straw and I threw it away in disgust. I have just ordered another StealthLite (the one with the gloin the dark lens bezel) which has a flip on switch and a xenon bulb. The problem with the twist-on switch on some flashlights is that there can be too fine a balance between turning it off and having it too loose.
