This means the lamp meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Devices with ENERGY STAR certification prevent greenhouse gas emissions, and they help save money on energy bills.

An energy-saving CFL bulb makes this light ideal for tasks like reading, drawing, or writing. Without producing too much heat, the bulb provides the right amount of light for comfortable up-close use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not use normal screw-in bulbs, December 25, 2009

This is a nice looking lamp and worked fine but has a few issues.

1. The surface of the clips are padded, which is good. However, the rest of the clip is hard-edged metal and could scratch or mar the surface to which it is attached.

2. The cord travels through the flexible neck and into the lamp shade where it is knotted to prevent it from being pulled out. The problem I had was the knot took up so much space that is was tricky to get the bulb inserted because the knot was in the way. I had to be very careful not to break the bulb while trying to get it inserted.

3. This is the big one. The lamp doesn't use the normal screw-in bulb that you can get anywhere in the US. Instead it uses a two-pronged bulb that you insert and twist to lock into place. I've never seen the kind of bulb for sale in the normal place where you get light bulbs so I suspect it will be a special order. It is a CFL so I hope it lasts a long, long time.

I use this over my kitchen sink and it's nice and bright. The clip is sturdy and convenient. The power switch being midway down the cord makes it great for using up high where you can't easily reach.

I had this only a short time. It quit working less than a week after I got it. It had a weird cfl bulb--it doesn't screw in like regular bulbs, it shifts 1/4 turn into the socket. The lamp itself looks nice. The clip is large & sturdy. I returned mine & got something else.
