Good looking lamp for use as an accent

The lamp arrived in perfect condition. It is well made and looks very nice on my desk. My only reservation with respect to the lamp is the amount of light it puts out. I anticipated a brighter light and one that lit a larger area. Overall I like it.More detail ...

revise lamp review to 5

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 plusAce 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. More detail ...

Very nice but note custom light bulb

this is a nice lamp but there was no indication when I bought it that it takes a custom bulb it's just like the energy saver bulbs that can be purchased at most stores but this one clips in rather than screw in they must be ordered from Verilux and they cost $15.00 each. Had this fact been revealed in the lamps specs or photos I would have chosen a different lamp but there was no mention of it nor can you tell from any of the photos. More detail ...
