Cheaply Made,
By
This review is from: Zoo Med Avian Sun Deluxe Floor Lamp (Misc.)
I think the IDEA of the lamp is great. I like the different points of articulation. But the lamp is cheaply made out of plastic. And the on/off switch broke the first time I turned it on.
I turned it on, but when I flipped the switch, it wouldn't turn off. I have to unplug the lamp now to get it to turn off. And, like I said, a BIG disappointment was the fact that it was made out of plastic that was painted to look like metal. I think that was a bit deceitful on their part. The manufacturer is supposedly sending me a replacement. But, unless it is made better that this one, I don't see how that will fix the problem. The new one will probably break in no time. If it hasn't broken after using it for 6 months, I will come back and change this review. But for a product to break right out of the box, it deserves this review.

My thoughts on the Avian lamp,

This review is from: Zoo Med Avian Sun Deluxe Floor Lamp (Misc.)
This lamp was much more inexpensive on Amazon than it was in the store for the exact same lamp. Shipping was extremely fast but the quality of the lamp just seems very cheap. This is not the fault of Amazon, its the lamp contruction only. Sometimes the bulb goes off and stops working, then it turns itself back on. However, the lamp is critical for the care of birds, especially for African Greys. They need the UVB lighting that they can't get outside during a Cleveland winter.

Flimsy Construction,
By
This review is from: Zoo Med Avian Sun Deluxe Floor Lamp (Misc.)
Although the lamp looks like brushed metal, many critical pieces are made of silver colored plastic. My advice is to put it in a position you like and then NEVER attempt to adjust its height or position again. When I tried adjusting it one of the plastic pieces popped off and the whole lamp arm came apart. It took 15 minutes to figure out how to pin it back together, and I got the distinct feeling that the whole assembly was ready to break again if I gave it the slightest touch.
I would have been willing to pay $20-30 more for this lamp if it had sturdy metal parts instead of cheap plastic. Unfortunately there seem to be few options available for this type of lamp. The lamp would rate 4 or 5 stars if it didn't fall apart to the touch!
