No complaints about the lamp's ability to project light.

If you'd like to be able to actually point said light where you want it, however, you may run into a bit of trouble. The joints on what I guess you can call the elbow and wrist will hold decently, but there is nothing to stop the entire lamp from pivoting on the base wherever gravity will take it.

If you've got the lamp clamped to a horizontal surface, I suppose the above won't cause you any trouble. If you're trying to clamp it to the top of, say, a drafting table, you'll probably need to make a few "repairs" to keep it from swinging back into your face.

Bought this and hoped it would be better than the last. It wasn't.

Piece of junk. Never turned on right, and couldn't tighten it down.

I've had Luxo lamps for years but the current crop is not as well made as they used to be. The old ones lasted forever. The new ones seem flimsy, joints do not tighten properly.

Yes, this art lamp is not the most fancy, and it might not work for tilted drafting tables. But if you have a regular level desk space, you can't beat it for decent quality and a really low price. It works great, it looks great, and it uses a regular light bulb, which means you can also use the new energy-saving florescent bulbs, which can save your household a lot of money and help save the environment. The only improvement that could be made to this deal is that the shipping could be faster. But it's a great value.

I have had this lamp for a year. It stays put well and is useful.

IT's OK.I can find an use. Came with a chipped part wich I' ll have to fix, but is not a big deal.

I bought this lamp over a year ago in hopes that it would last longer than the one I bought at Wallmart, (which I would have to replace in about a years time).

This swing arm lamp was easy to set up, I knew I would not be moving the lamp so I permanently anchored it to the desk. I use a high efficiency 40 watt bulb, but, the lamp head will easily hold a larger 100 watt. I move this lamp all different directions, I swivel the head up to the ceiling and down at the desk, the head stays where you put it, it has yet to work itself loose. Good workmanship for a $20.00 lamp. I highly recommend it.

Most importantly, the lamp is very easily extended/retracted and swivels easily from side to side. The clamp allows you to attach the lamp very firmly to the edge of a desk or cabinet. I installed mine over my desk and it lights up my work area very well. I am using a 60W high efficiency bulb, so I am saving electricity and also not under a hot lamp.

This is a very useful product, and I would most certainly recommend it if you're looking for a way to light up your work area.
