 revise lamp review to 5Feb 17, 2008
By Paul J. Meeks
Beautiful Lamp, but have no idea if it works. Bulb was broken when I opened package. It is a 26 watt floresent bulb but was not the screw in type that is common in most stores. This one has a base with two pins that you put in two slots in the lamp. I called Verilux customer service and was told the bulb was readily available at Lowes, Home Depot, or Ace hardware. Well guess what, when I took the base of the bulb to Lamps plus,Ace Hardware, OSH Hardware, Target, and every local hardware store in Pasadena, Calif. I only got a smile and a blank stare. I finally got someone with some knowledge at Staples who informed me that this bulb base with two pins is similar to some of the halogen bulbs they sell. He had never seen or heard of a 26 watt floresent pin based bulb. I called verilux (who did not ship the lamp, Amazon did) and was informed that this type of bulb is new and they would send me a new one which would arrive in two weeks. In the meantime I have this beautiful new bronze lamp in my den that looks very nice but sheds no light. Who's to blame, I don't know, UPS, Amazon ??? all I know there is no place to buy this type of bulb in the Pasadena, San Gabriel Valley area of So. Calif. But this is why I buy most everything from Amazon, they are efficient and the product is delivered to your front door and it spares me from from shopping at the local Target, Best Buy etc. where I have yet to meet anyone with knowledge, experience and an IQ above 3. UPDATE, finally gotb bulb from Verilux and lamp is wonderful, beautiful full spectrum light. Would highly recommend.

 True coloursFeb 15, 2009
By W. Slater
"opinionated human"
I really like this table/desk lamp. The design is lovely and heavy duty and the light is very easy on the eyes. I've had full spectrum lights before. I either found previous lamps too dim to do any work by or, if they were bright enough, they also had too much glare. This lamp, with its 26W (equivalent to 150W incandescent) is bright enough for reading, cross stitch and the jewellery design that is my passion, and the glare shield makes the illumination very easy on the eyes.
I found it locally and bought their display unit (and got it at a very good price) but if they had more I'd go back and buy another one. Best full spectrum light I've used.

 Verilux reviewFeb 20, 2009
By Resident2007
Hello, I recently received my lamp from amazon.
The aged bronze looks nice, 5/5.
This lamp comes with a light bulb and screw driver allowing you to remove the transparent covering and easily insert the bulb, 5/5.
The full spectrum light receives a 5/5
The lamp is adjustable in the sense that you can change the angle of the bulb portion 5/5.
The lamp only has one brightness level 3/5.
In the past I had a similarly shaped Verilux lamp which i used for reading and I liked it very much. The brightness was adjustable.

Superb lamp for reading & computer deskAug 29, 2010
By G. E. Brown
Best desk lamp I have ever owned!
I was leery of a CFL lamp, because
others I own are very dim and slow
to start. But this one is bright,
yet softly lit, and comes on imm-
ediately. The lamp is a good size
(almost 2' tall) and heavy enough
to remain in a stable position.
I highly recommend this lamp, and
I rarely highly recommend anything!

A great desk l lampAug 18, 2010
By Judith Piazza
"Mosaics and Book Fan"
I purchased this lamp as a gift for my husbands desk. Not only is it very well made; but very attractive, here in our home office. I searched for a long time and many places to find a full spectrum lamp at a fair price. My husband has difficult reading and needs bright light. He must tell me at least once a week what a great gift this was---and he normally never does that. He can read and I appreciate the way it looks. We are both pleased with another Amazon purchase!
