I bought 4 of these for lighting my display cases at trade shows. I took the shades off and used folding led lights. What a fantastic combo. The lamps are built well and fold up very compact for transportation. May buy more.Arrived next day. Easy to assemble. Has switch on top which I like better than my old lamp that had switch on cord. Gives excellent illumination with 60 watt bulb. Very flexible and easy to adjust. I would get another one if I had a place to put it. Also made in Canada!While the bulb matters mostly this little lamp is better than I thought it would be.The clamp on my little end table holds well, it’s secure enough that I don’t feel nervous adjusting with one hand. The range is great for me in that the light comes over my shoulder and from above. Paired with a good led bulb it’s perfect for my hobby painting.LoveI have had a similar telescoping lamp on my desk for literally decades and the on-off switch finally died. This is a perfect replacement since it mounts exactly the same way and it is considerably better looking! Uses any standard base light bulb, including LED.I use it for task lighting in my shop. I wish the clamp was a little more robust and versatile (offering more orientations) but otherwise it’s a welcome addition.Looks great on my desk, got lots of compliments.Not very robust construction. Did what I wanted, but prior examples of this type lamp were much more hardy, adjustable and overall better built. Probably would not buy again...Let's get this straight. There are TWO bases being offered here. Option 1 has a stand that falls over by itself. Option 2 has a metal clamp and fully articulating arms and is probably what you're actually looking for if you're here. Option 2 is excellent. SO: buy option 2 if you want the clamp, articulating arms, a wide shade, all metal construction and an all around excellent lamp. Or buy the IKEA option if you think option 1 looks good. Hope this helps.Very sturdy, it goes on all directions you want it to and the encasing around the bulb protects your eyes from getting a direct shine. Honestly, I was first looking at all these fancy led lights with adjustable settings but I don't want a fancy expensive led light that I won't ever be able to change the bulb to if smth happens. rn I have this inexpensive setup, still led and saving energy, a pretty good dealThe first one showed up with some of it hanging out of the box...no biggy, it was the part that goes into the table mount. It wasn't damaged. However the box was a mess, the top and bottom were not taped shut. Just with the pressure of picking it up, both ends opened...wonder how many times that happened during shipping. So as I was assembling the light, I got to the part where you join the fixture to the arm...nothing in directions...oh, wait, it's supposed to come joined. The part that connects the two is plastic, it had snapped....back it went. New one came faster than the first one, and had the same part sticking out of the box...maybe a bigger box folks? This time the box was taped on both ends.. ..and I had the right amount of parts. This one, however, has it's own annoying behavior...the shade will come off with very little encouragement. I pushed the lamp away from me and it fell off. I taped it. I've had it for roughly two weeks, was using it yesterday, for most of the day, went to turn it off, and it wouldn't...I got the right click sounds when turning the knob...just no result. I unplugged it, waited till the morning to give it another go, it worked fine...SO, it gets to hot, and when it does, it won't shut off...I wonder how that would fly with safety standards. It's ONLY good feature is that the mount is metal rather than plastic. I have two lights with magnifying glass that had plastic mounts that broke within a week of having them (not from Amazon...however, same lamp is sold here) I use a table clamp for industrial sewing to hold them...works a treat. So, given my experience, I'd say it's over priced, low in quality and the odds of getting a fully functioning one seem to be slim.La calidad de construcción es buena a secas, viene cubierta con pintura "glossy" y la parte activa está hecha de metal, al igual que el brazo, pero tiene varias partes de plástico que dejan en duda su durabilidad, aunque en realidad no debe cargar mucho peso, por lo que no creo que sea gran problema. En mi caso particular vino con unos rayones pequeños en la parte interna del plato reflejante.Le estoy quitando una estrella por la cuestión de tener partes plásticas en el soporte y los rayones. Por otro lado la base con la que se ajusta al escritorio es de metal por lo que se siente seguro aunque no hay forma de fijarlo en una posición, solamente se embona la lámpara en el soporte y listo. Fuera de lo mencionado funciona muy bien, es fácil de posicionar, es muy elegante y practica, no se siente premium pero se ve muy bien.PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE CLAMP VERSION, NOT THE FIXED BASE VERSION. I only bought the clamp version and can only speak to that.I bought 2 of the clamp versions to affix to my windowsill to give my plants some more light in the winter. I screwed in a LED grow bulb and my plants seem happy. The lamp assembles simply and seems to be great quality.Only removing a star as the knobs that tighten the position of the lamp don't seem to lock the position very sturdily.
