Love This Lamp!!

2008-05-05
This is one great desk lamp. The light is so naural and not glaring and harsh. I am planing to get one for my craft table and also a floor lamp.

Design over function won me over...

I needed a small desk natural light (full spectrum) desk lamp for my office. Verilux is a relatively reliable brand name, so I purchased this desk lamp. Design, style, and color of the lamp is great. However, it does not emit as much light as I expected. The lamp has two settings: high and low, which in my opinion, differ only slightly in illumination. I give this product 3 out of 5 stars for low luminance, but the design, weight, and style are great. If you need natural, full spectrum "task lighting" this will do. For 8 hours of working in front of a computer, I'd suggest a lamp that delivers more brightness.

Great desk lamp

This is a great lamp for your office, especially an office or cubicle without direct sunlight. The base of the lamp is slightly larger than it appears in the photo, so if you are planning to use this in a small space you might want to look at a different model.

Overpriced

The cost of the lamp is prohibitive. Buying a regular desk lamp, and replacing the bulb with an energy-efficient soft-white light bulb is a more economical option.
Also, the lamp is top heavy, and needs a wide base to support it. Be prepared to yield considerable desk space to the lamp.

Nice and comfortable but expensive

Have been using it for last 4-5 months. Joined school which means lot of reading and laptop work, so I purchased albeit the price tag was high. So, far I found it decent. Bluish light, two brightness setting, reasonably stable on the table. This light is good for reading and laptop. But if you want light spread across a larger table, this is not the right one.

Easy on eyes!

Worth the price

I've had this lamp for about 2 weeks now and love it! My dorm room is wicked dark and this really helps to make studying at my desk easier. My only complaint is that the base is ridiculously large and even so the lamp is a bit tippy.

Desk Lamp

Love this lamp and I am going to buy a floor model soon. The light seems to actually help me see better and no more tired eyes.

Awesome

I do about 300pages of reading a week and the natural light from this lamp is a godsend. My eyes still get tired but not irritated they way they used to. Does the lamp provide the light of a 1000 candles? No but it's a desklamp and not a search light. Well worth the money. I'm getting it as a gift for a family member.

Your eyes will thank you!!!

Nice, but lacking brightness for my close-up work

2007-01-10
After reading the reviews and comparisons on the manufacturers web site, I thought I had found the perfect lamp to spend my many tedious hours examining fingerprints with.

Needless to say, I was quite disappointed to find that this lamp lacked the brightness that I had thought it would have. Even though this lamp has a two-way switch that enables one to change between a high & low lamp output... I found that I had to have the lamp closer to my work than I wanted in order to achieve the brightness that I required.

I also found the base to be somewhat "tippy" when the light portion of the lamp was not adjusted parallel the base.

In fairness to the manufacturer, this lamp did cast an even light that was comfortable to to read under for extended periods of time.

Would I buy this lamp again... probably not, especially at the retail prices they are selling for.
