I bought a Verilux lamp last year for reading at home and I have this lamp at the salon over my nail table. This lamp is 99% the same as the brand that costs twice as much. It does not have the cheapy grid like reflector to cover the bulb, but I say why spend 35.00 more to get that crappy feature. I put them side by side and they are the same!!!!!

I have been very impressed so far with this lamp. Rock solid design. The goose neck is very flexible, and can be moved away to create more space when not in use. The lamp is VERY bright; I have had to move away from the lamp when reading in order to get to a comfortable reading distance. Overall, an excellent product. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

I first want to point out that the main product image does not match the lamp that I received. Check the submitted customer image to see how it really looks. As noted in the product description, the lamp has a computer gray or beige finish. The base and head are beige while the easily flexible neck is a darker shade of gray. The material for the head and the base looks alright, but the flexible neck is sort of ugly and cheap. This is not some stylish executive lamp. I was disappointed with the look of the lamp not matching my black computer system, but I kept it and I am glad that I did.

I have the lamp on top of a small speaker on my desk and next to an LCD monitor. The full spectrum lighting has made reading the screen, books and papers much easier in comparison to my old lamp. The lamp emits little heat and supposedly it is energy efficient. According to the manufacturer, the special bulbs last 5 times longer than normal ones - I would take that claim with a grain of salt so you will want to purchase a few replacement bulbs along with the lamp.

I love the EZ Reader Table Lamp. The natural light bulbs give off a wonderful light for reading or working on the computer. I highly recommend this product and feel that it is a good value for the price.

I ll make it simple. The lamp is good. The light is nice white and clear. Much easier for eyes. I do have very sensitive eyes and after working 8 hours by the PC at my work I need real good light to read. This lamp provides me with that. If it lasts according to specs i would say its a very good buy. The price is right. The quality is good. I am a satisfied buyer. Yes, I do recommend this lamp, especially if you read or study a lot. Save your eyes and go with 27w natural spectrum products like this one. I am planning to substitute all my lamps with natural spectrum ones.

Once you use this product you can't study or read with the normal desk lamps. The product looks "cheap" but it works great

Pros: Nice and bright! Plus, the light doesn't flicker and doesn't reflect off glossy paper.
Con: The goose neck design that allows you to move the lamp head around isn't designed very well. It doesn't conform to the position you want that easily and that's why i gave it a 4 star.

I just got my lamp and the assembly was very simple and quick. The instructions, although they were confusing to me at first (my first product assembly), they quickly became easy and straight forward. It took me roughly 15 minutes to remove the lamp from the box and assemble it. There were no small parts, just remove and attach the neck piece to the base of the lamp by sliding in the cords that connect the base to the neck into the neck's innerds. Afterwards, just screw in the neck to the base, plug it into an outlet and enjoy.

The brightness is amazing considering it is has an energy conserving bulb, it provides perfect light for reading, writing, or whatever task you need light for. The neck is easy to bend and retains a solid feel, unlike other lamps that feel a bit flimsy and cheap. This is an extremely great buy overall, truly worth the money it is going for. Thank you for a great product Grandrich. =)

I am very satisfied with the price and quality of this reading lamp. The other, similar, lamps cost twice as much, if you really have too much $ to waste. This is also a good gift for students and people who read a lot. Remember too, this lamp doesnt generate heat, so it's also good to read by in summers.

I ordered this lamp and promptly set it up. It turned on and the light lasted 3 minutes. I called the company which told me it was the ballast. They sent me a new ballast (free) and I installed it - with difficulty. The light came on again for 2 minutes & died again. I sent the lamp back to Amazon and bought a teriffic lamp from Wal-mart! I'm not saying the company is bad - they were helpful in sending the new ballast, but the lamp must have inherent problems with its design.

After unpacking and assembling lamp, I plugged it in and was very pleased with the quality of the spectrum of the light. The lamp worked for TWO MINUTES before it the bulb started flickering. The bulbs never went out completely but they just kept changing intensity. Very poor quality.
