The Original Natural Spectrum Floor Lamp by Verilux, Inc.
Often Imitated, Never Duplicated

Backed by 50 Years of Research
The Verilux Original Natural Spectrum Floor Lamp is a delight for sore eyes. It not only provides the best of natural daylight indoors, but it also helps eliminate glare, eyestrain, and fatigue.

This versatile and practical lamp uses patented technology to sharpen vision with greater contrast and true color vibrancy. Flicker Elimination Technology provides steady illumination while its Parabolic Grid Diffuser shields your eyes from glare, making reading, crafting, painting, and any other visually demanding tasks more enjoyable and easier to perform for longer periods of time. The flexible gooseneck allows you to direct light right where you need it most or cast broader lighting for an entire area. With an advanced electronic ballast system, Verilux lamps provide greater light output with less energy usage. You get 150-watts of comparable incandescent brightness using only 27 watts of energy, so your bulb lasts longer, creating less waste and more savings for you.

Scientifically Tuned to the Human Eye
The back of the human eye has light receptors, called cones and rods, located in the retina. Cones respond to different color wavelengths and rods handle depth perception and contrast.

Under typical interior lights, the rods and cones are not well stimulated, which can cause visual fatigue. With the Verilux Original Natural Spectrum Floor Lamp, the eye responds more efficiently, improving comprehension, productivity, and focus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lamp! Well Built!! Well-balanced color spectrum!!, July 29, 2008

My father had one of these lamps (minus the shelf) behind his easy chair for several years and my wife decided she liked reading & knitting with it so much that I bought her one of the Deluxe floorlamps (burl) with a shelf. She loves it. It's well-made and the diffuser works well and is cosmetically pleasing. The cheaper knock-off lamps do not have the diffuser.

It's relatively expensive, but it is an excellent lamp and energy efficient, using a wide spectrum fluorescent bulb. Don't be confused by some of the reviews, the spectrum of light is different for this type of bulb than soft white (or even the typical "natural light" florescents). The Verilux bulb is color balanced and does not cast a bluish tinge to the room like many of the "natural light" florescent lights.

These lamps are not made to brightly illuminate an entire room, so don't be disappointed. They are designed primarily for reading and hobbies. But, they are plenty bright for the purpose for which they were designed. Highly recommended!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good light..., December 29, 2007

This review is from: Verilux Original Natural Spectrum Deluxe Floor Lamp, Graphite (Health and Beauty)

I generally review 3 kinds of stuff: (1) knocks my socks off, (2) annoys me, or (3)has some feature that hasn't been mentioned but I think should be. This lamp doesn't fit into any of these categories but it's a good lamp. One feature that I like is the 2-light-level switch. I often use the lower level to augment available daylight and the upper level when I'm reading with an overhead light on. I'm not fond of using it as the sole light source. This is partly due to the fact that the light from the lamp looks unusually cold (think of the "white", glary headlights of a modern car). And partly it is due to the smallish "pool" of light given off by the lamp. If you're reading a book or knitting, a small pool of light works well. For a newspaper, however, not very. Would other lamps work better? Probably not.
Bottom line: Am I happy with it? Yes. I like the little platform thing, which I use for a pad and pen. I like the adjustability of the light (the goose-neck feature, which, because it's a floor lamp, I won't change very often). The whole thing seems sturdy and well-made. I like having two light levels. The diffuser that attaches under the bulb to prevent the light from shining directly in your eyes is also a nice touch.
It just didn't knock my socks off.

Well, there are a couple of observations that might come in useful to some one trying to make a purchase decision on this lamp.

The height quoted for this product is a bit of a misnomer. Technically speaking the higher end figure quoted for the height is correct, however, to achieve that height, you'd have to completely straighten out the curly part (the top part of the lamp), this will make it so that the lamp will be aiming sideways across the room instead of downward! Now I don't know about you but I don't want a bright lamp hitting me right in the eyes every time I walk by. I want a lamp that's going to shine down on me, or on whatever I'm working on or aiming at, and that's the crux you see, because by bending it over into a natural downward facing position the lamp is very short. I had to mount it on top of a tall UPS (YMMV) for it to comfortably shine down on my desk, otherwise I would have probably returned it, again, YMMV.

Secondly as some reviewers have stated in regards to the brightness, it is not so much that it is not bright, it's just that the light is so white that any brighter for a lamp and it might be uncomfortable.

Thirdly, the lamp covers what would be the equivalent of a desk area, and not much more. This isn't a corner room lamp.

Last but not least, I was amazed by how short the lamp really is, when I unboxed it and assembled it, for a minute I thought that a second extension pole was missing or lost, I quickly realized that there was no other extension pole.

One other thing: The FAQ page that comes with it specifically states that this lamp does not produce the amount of lumens necessary for this lamp to qualify for SAD therapy. That being said, in New England during the winter our days are short, and this does help out tremendously.

It makes me think that days are longer, at least while I'm sitting at my desk.

All in all, I am happy with the light and will be keeping it.

I'm giving it three stars because I thought it was going to float over my head, (Too Short!)
