2.0 out of 5 stars Low, non-uniform lighting; poor gooseneck design, April 12, 2008

I had read the reviews here of all the Adesso LED lights and knew that the LED technology provides less lighting than incandescent or halogen bulbs and are more expensive to purchase, with the benefit of being much more energy-efficient, heating up less, and lasting basically the life of the product (there are no bulbs that can be changed, but they say they last up to 100,000 hours). However LED lights have not historically been used as lighting because the bottom line is that they don't project too much light, but they're great for traffic lights, etc.

However some companies now are trying to use them now as lights. Adesso failed at doing so. This light just insufficiently lights up a single page to read, and as you move from the center, there is slightly less light. You can read and there is no glare, but I don't think it's enough lighting. I've read reviews here of another LED lamp that uses many more LED lights than Adesso's 20, and it gets good reviews but costs a lot more.

Also, the gooseneck design is poor. As other users have noted, it doesn't maintain it's position, e.g. you have to overbend it in one direction to get it to settle back somewhere in between.

For $15 total (with their mail-out coupon) at BB&B I got a nice, attractive, stainless steel halogen desk lamp w/ 2 brightness settings (the lower setting provides enough illumination, much more than this lamp) with a gooseneck head that works perfectly.

Lastly, this is the second Adesso lamp I buy. I bought the first, a halogen desk lamp, refurbished here. Within 4 months it broke completely after just minimal usage and never falling, etc. I got a partial but not complete refund from Amazon since it was past 1 month. Adesso would not repair or replace it, just sent me a new bulb, which I had already tried, which worked for literally around a minute before burning out. I had assumed that that lamp was just a lemon and refurbished, but now I believe this company makes poorly-built lamps.

This lamp can't take the place of a table lamp, because the area it lights up is really just enough for one page of a book, but because the lamp is so adjustable, and the quality of light it produces is so good,we really like it. It's great for curling up in a cozy chair. What I like best about it is that print looks very crisp and clear with this light. I guess our other lights produce more glare; this one is very easy on my eyes. We also have a similar fluorescent lamp from Full Spectrum Solutions. My children hate it, and it tips over easily and breaks the expensive and somewhat hazardous bulb. This lamp is a lot safer around kids, but it cannot light up a whole room, or even one chair. Nevertheless, I plan to buy some more so we don't have to fight over it. I just hope they will make some in the future that have about 60 LED lights in them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Looks nice but isn't very bright, November 6, 2007

This lamp is easy to assemble and looks good. And I like the idea of the LED bulbs for energy conservation. However, the drawback is that the light is kind of blue in color, which is weird for reading, and it's not as bright as I expected it to be. I'm probably gong to keep it, but am a bit conflicted about it.
