Smaller than expected

This lamp is lovely but alot smaller in size then expected. The bulb I believed would be the traditional size but instead is a small night light bulb. Since this lamp was so small I ended up having to purchase an additional light. Shipping and Handling was also rather pricey for such a small and light item.More detail ...

Gave this as a gift to Mom

She loves it (my Mom) and has told me more than once. She looks forward to the night time so that she can turn it on. Price for this at Amazon was good too. I shopped around.More detail ...

Works for me

I've gone through too many desk lamps looking for one that's just right. If I had hair I'd be like Goldilocks looking for the perfect fit.

For me this lamp is a perfect combination of illuminatin and style. The six inch base doesn't take up a lot of room and the lamp shade is adjustable by the flexible gooseneck.



I don't want a lamp that lights the whole room; I've got a floor lamp for that. The Globe desk lamp illuminates a large enough concentrated area to light my large desk calendar and keyboard; it makes reading in that limited area comfortable.



The cord is not very long but reaches far enough for my needs. If you need a six foot cord you'll need an extension.

The on/off switch is on the cord about a foot from the lamp base. Depending on placement this could be a problem in some applications.

Replacing the special fluorescent bulb with built in ballast could be a problem. I haven't seen bulbs like this in stores but they are available on Amazon. If you buy this lamp you'd be wise to buy an extra bulb at the same time.



I use thes lamp daily and am pleased with my purchase.More detail ...
