4.0 out of 5 stars Some buzzing bulbs, December 12, 2008

The lamp holds 4 CFLs. Very bright. However, a couple of the CFLs that were included with the lamp buzz when hot. I swapped out the bulbs for 5k (full-spectrum) bulbs and am very happy. It is a tight fit though for the two bulbs that face each other, so make sure to look at the overall length of replacement bulbs. My replacement bulbs are a little too long so I left one of the older (warm spectrum) ones in there.

Great way to get 100+ watts of CFLs: similar light level to a 500 watt halogen, but obviously more efficient.

Also note that the sockets are the new GU24 base, so screw type bulbs will not work.

This unit has an attractive chrome finish. All the light from the 4, 26 watt GU24 CFL bulbs is directed upward so there is no distracting glare as is frequently the case in torchieres with glass shades. Of course, you better have a white ceiling. The interior of the bowl is painted white and probably has considerable light loss due to close quarters and multiple reflections for the light to escape. Will fall over if tilted more than about 18 degrees. The switch has 4 postions: off, 1 bulb, 2 bulbs, 4 bulbs illuminated. You can't get too far away from the unit and still have good light for reading - about 3 feet.

Good light, and bright enough to actually brighten the room to the point where I can read easily (otherwise I reach for my cheaters too much). Takes a moment of thought to assemble (still haven't figured out what the black rings are for), but it works quite well (and I got compliments from vistors on how it looked).
