Nice, and bright. Heavy base, easily adjusted. However, the bulb itself burned out within a week. Not a flaw with the lamp itself, but certainly an inconveinence. Also, the top of the light itself, which is metal burned me a few times as I was being clumsy, it gets hot very quickly.

I already own two Tensor halogen lamps and have been very satisfied. The quality of the halogen illumination is great, especially for reading. But the construction of this lamp is disappointing. The shape of the base and the location of the switch on the base requires a sideways push to actuate. But the lack of weight in the base and the slickness of the plastic on its bottom means that it scoots away when the switch is pushed, when on a smooth surface such as a wood table. I had to buy thick rubber pads to stick on the bottom to solve the problem. Also the flexible gooseneck is lighter weight than on my previous Tensors and feels a bit flimsy. And the chrome flashing on the reflector started to bubble up once the lamp was turned on. Altogether, I would say this lamp was poorly thought out, designed more for looks than function.

I have hardly used this lamp for 30 hours in total. It stopped working abruptly. I even replaced the bulb with a new one but in vain. The lamp would not glow again!

I contacted acehardware but they did not entertain my email even though this product carries a 1 year warranty.
Very bad experience!

Although I thought this would be a great reading lamp, I was very disappointed. The shiny chrome finish reflected the light itself no matter how I adjusted it. That was very distracting. And anyway, the little handle to move the head of the lamp would not work, it was just stuck somehow.

The lamp got very hot quickly. I expected some heat, but this was too, too much.

There was a bit of that electrical odor after first turning the lamp on, but that would probably go away after using it for a while. I didn't use the lamp long enough to find out.

I don't recommend buying this, sorry.

great for my laptop, plenty of light and energy saving variety of bulbs are usable!!

It's perfect for my small computer desk. It lights the keyboard up really well and the flexibility is just what i need!

I really like the lamp that was purchased from you. It is very useful in the area where I interview people about their income taxes. Thank you, Virginia
