Well Built but large. Flexible neck works well and no stability problems. The natural light greatly reduces eye strain when working on the computer.

I didn't expect this desk lamp to be as large and heavy as it turned out to be. It is VERY heavy and has a fairly large "footprint" considering what it is... a desk lamp.
The quality of the lamp itself is excellent. The light is bright and very welcoming. The dimming function doesn't have the range one might expect from a dimmer switch, however.

I live in a dorm and my roommate got me this. I have to say that I absolutely love it! The light is clear and natural, unlike other lamps that emit a light that puts massive strain on your eyes over a period of time and wears them down. Heck, it's 2 in the morning right now and I'm using this lamp to light my laptop to type this! I love how it's dimmable so I can adjust just how much light I need for varying situations. The neck is adjustable (bendable) too, so that helps to direct the light away from my roommate when he's sleeping. It's really a fine lamp for any situation that involves general work!

We purchased a Blue Max 2 years ago. Within 6 months, the ballast had a problem. We had to disassemble, send it back (at our expense), and eventually they replaced it. Another 6 months and another problem. We repeated the same repair, again sending it back at our expense. 1 year later, the lamp broke again. We called them, they said send it in, so we did -- the entire lamp. They lost the lamp. Then found it. Then told us we would need to pay for sending it back to us as well ($50 each way shipping). We could buy a new one! They reluctantly agreed to pay for shipping it back at their expense -- but surprise surprise, we have not seen our lamp since. It has been 7 months -- lamp gone. They are non-response. The idea of the lamp is good, and when it's working, it's good. But there are clearly some component problems with the lamp, and obviously, it is quite challenging and expensive to get it repaired. Another vendor may provide better service. I would strongly recommend against buying from this company.

Please avoid lighting products from Full Spectrum Solutions. I purchased two, a floor lamp and a desk lamp. Both cost quite a lot of money but quite within the first year. Both lamps had blown electronic ballasts and burned out filaments in the bulbs. What a mistake to buy their horrible products! Please do not believe their unsubstantiated hype. Dont repeat my mistake!

Took 4 months to receive lamp when ordered from company. Lamp broke after 2 months. Took 2 more months to receive replacement and then without the bulb. Still battling with them. My advise is to buy from a more reliable company.

I have purchased a full spectrum lamp a few years back and found it to be a fantastic investment in my health. I am not going to credit it for that, but after being short sighted (myopia) and wearing glasses for 30 years, I completely ditched them. A year ago, I upgraded to Blue Max (the 42W version). A week ago, it stopped working. I called the company and got superior customer service (two year warranty on the lamp, one year on the bulb). They correctly identified the problem as being the ballast and shipped it immediately at no charge. Buy this lamp or buy another, but invest in your eyes and get full spectrum lighting. Especially good advice if you experience winter blues. It will make you feel better.

Bought the floor lamp three years ago. Should have read the policy more closely. I have to return the product at my expense. I have to find a box to fit this very large lamp. The burden is on me. It is there in black and white, their policy. But I didn't expect to have a problem with a lamp....after all we have lamps that are 30 years old and no problems. Do I like the lamp..yes. Do I like the service...no. Full Spectrum Solutions could do better than this.
