4.0 out of 5 stars Nice torchiere lamp, April 10, 2009

I've loved halogen torchieres ever since they appeared in the 1980s. When I started at my current company in 2006, I asked for one in my office, to avoid the headaches I get after an hour or two of the 60/120 cycle flicker of fluorescent lamps. This model is the one I got. Now, almost everyone on the floor has one, and the fluorescents get little use.

This 180w unit does not have the high maximum brightness of the old 300w and 500w units available in the 1980s and 1990s. However, it's fine in my office, where I'm working at an LCD display. In fact, I usually have it turned down half way, using the smooth, full range dimming switch.

Eventually LCD lamps will probably provide flicker free light that's even more efficient than fluorescents. Until then, though, this halogen lamp is a good, inexpensive solution for general purpose room lighting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice halogen lamp, May 15, 2010

I was VERY pleased with this floor lamp. I have purchased a series of halogens that were quite disappointing (not enough light, odd shadow etc). This lamp generated more than enough light for the room. It is very solid and sturdy. Finally, it has a nice switch on the cord which allows you to turn it on/off, in addition to the dimmer on the lamp itself.

I really wanted a halogen lamp with a dimmer, so I paid the rather high price for this one. It works just as expected, but the price sure does seem high. Also, expect to make a huge mess trying to get it out of the box; have a vacuum cleaner nearby.
