1.0 out of 5 stars All lamps delivered had faulty switch. Light goes off all the time, April 29, 2010

I bought 2 of these lamps from Vision Decor. The first was replaced after I complained on Amazon that it would intermittantly turn off due to faulty wiring. They agreed to give my money back if I removed the complaint from the Amazon site which I did. I then went out of the country for several months and returned to find that the second lamp has the same problem. Despite knowing these lamps are defective they refuse to take it back as it is past the refund date. Recommend you do not buy from them

2.0 out of 5 stars I Really Have My Doubts, April 13, 2011

This review is from: Lite Source LS-80910BLK Basic II Halogen Torchiere Lamp, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

I remember these lamps from the '90s. Those were the best. Its unfortunate that stupid people ruined it for the rest of us who knew better then to put these lamps where they could easily get knocked down or threw clothing items on top of the lamps causing fires. However, since people did those things, the bulbs can't go passed 190w thus making them not really that bright. These particular lamps have 180w bulbs. The amount of light is ok but, if you're a person that likes really brightening up a room, you either will want two of these or something else.

Now, I received my first one just the other day. I was very disappointed. The bulb housing wasn't secure and thus just moving around inside the dish(shade,dome). The bulb assembly is made up of all these little pieces supposedly screwed together. One of these screws was out thus causing the moving around of the bulb assembly. After having to try and figure out how to get these things undone so I can get to the screw that was out and put it back in, I discover that the screw along with its opposite side companion would NOT tighten. They kept turning and turning. So now, the assembly is in place but, its not snug. With halogen, you don't want loose parts. I put everything back together and discover the lamp does NOT work at all. I discovered the bulb is bad. Unbelievable. I immediately contacted Amazon. I decided to give it another shot. We have all come across bad items at one point or another. The second one is on its way. When the second one comes, I will immediately check the bulb and see of the bulb assembly is snug or loose. If either is bad, that one will go back as well and I will just get a refund.

I'm just so annoyed that something that costs over a hundred dollars and is so cheaply assembled. Its definitely not worth the cost. There are very similar designed lamps that are manufactured from ORE International. While those have gotten just as bad reviews at least they're half the price.

I would say don't buy these.

**Update, I had received the second one and it came with a poorly designed bulb assembly. So my original review definitely stands. You pay over $100 for this lamp that should only cost maybe $50 at most. The green disk below the lamp dish is supposed to be for style highlights but, you see the wire shadows and such when the light is on. That is just poor design. Not worth the money people...don't buy these.

I love this lamp. This was the cheapest halogen lamp I could fine and was very happy. Shipping was quick and customer service was very good. Only halogen lamps can fill a room well and this one did the trick (at least for me). The dimmer feature was also a nice touch which I did not know it had until I put it together. Very Happy !!!!
