1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware - This is a VERY shoddy product, June 20, 2006

Being cheaper than most of the torchiere halogen lamps out there, I jumped on this. But it turns out, you get what you pay for (surprise, surprise). This is a very shoddy product. The ends where you screw on are made of plastic and are very prone to getting stuck. Mine got stuck this way. I cannot get the top lid to screw on correctly and now it is stuck and won't unscrew so I cannot return it. In attempting to unscrew the lid the entire assembly of the lid fell apart. I would HIGHLY recommend spending a few more bucks and purchasing something that assembles without falling apart. It looks like I am going to just throw this in the trash the same day I received it. $30 down the drain. Worthless product.

I agree with the other comment. I at least got my lamp assembled OK, but the dimmer switch on it broke after just a few days. So now it's either completely on or completely off. No in-between. It's a cheaply-priced halogen lamp which is good, but cheaply-priced for a reason.

I love this kind of lamp for the variable brightness and the indirect lighting. Put it in a corner in a room with light-colored walls and it's great. They are a fire hazard which is why they come with a metal guard and only a 300W bulb (I immediately replace these with the 500W bulbs of course).

The downside is that the dimmer switches are built pretty cheaply and will wear out on you within a couple of years. Oh well, the lamp's pretty cheap anyway, so I will continue to stock my home with this kind of lamp until I get around to installing some track lighting or something.
