Nice even cool white colored light for reading. Bought it to replace a halogen desk lamp. Instant on, no flicker, cool and glare free. I thought the full spectrum light was a gimmick. It really is easier on the eyes for reading than the halogen. Lamp does get quite warm, but not as hot as halogen.

Solid construction, instant on, no flicker. Clean lines. Substantially better quality than knock off full spectrums selling between $20-50.00.

Replacement bulbs cost 19.95 from verilux, with no shipping charge. They are supposed to last 10,000 hrs. In my experience some CF bulbs last a long time, others only a few months.. so I guess we'll see about this one.

I noticed that being on the north side of my office building my office was dark all the time. I seemed to be slowing down as well. Having used a full spectrum light to solve a similar problem when working from my home office in a dark basement, I decided to try the same in my company office.

My Verilux full spectrum light has done the job quite well. I have only one minor complaint... the light does not pivot on all axis, so I'm not able to position it precisely as I'd like. But I CAN get it pretty close to my desired position, and it does the job well. I find I have more energy and get the job done. My wife complains that I loose track of time and work too late on a regular basis, though my employer certainly is not complaining.

Not at all disappointed by this item. In fact, I had to buy another because my wife took mine away. She has many Ott-lites and they aren't what they used to be - big fails and annoying long flicker time when turning on. Turn on this Verilux lamp and there is no flicker at all - none! I still smile every time I turn it on, and that makes me feel silly because I'm not the type to get emotional about appliances. We both love the light it puts out - lots of light but not too harsh. I think they pegged it just below the point where it would be a harsh light, which is just right for me.

The design looks-wise is attractive and the build is quite sturdy. For improvements though I wish the light head could swivel on its own, and I wish the bulb wasn't flourescent because it's too harsh. So mixed review from me, it gets the job done but I would buy something else next time.

This is a well made lamp with clean design, but the light it emits is most unpleasent to work by, typical of the older fluorescent tubes. It's described as having a "Natural Spectrum Daylight" and with the built in diffuser I had hoped this would finally be the fluorescent I could love, but the light it provides is so harsh I found it distracting. All of us who want to save energy are waiting for the next generation of desk lamps, but this clearly isn't it.

I love Verilux products, especially this one. It is very nice and bright and I use it all the time, as I am a college student and this is one of the best lamps I have ever invested in.

The light is very bright and easy on the eyes. The lamp is beautiful but it's a little unstable because it's top-heavy. When you loosen the arm to adjust the height, the lamp will fall down if you're not holding the top part.

The rather clunky on-off switch broke after minimal use, and was purchased only this September. The good news is, it was in the ON position. The bad news is of course I have to unplug it to turn it off, and I paid $130 for it. Oh, and this happened a few weeks after the deadline for returning it. So, don't buy it.
