The Eyestrain Reducing Floor Lamp. Review

The Eyestrain Reducing Floor Lamp.

From first seeing this lamp in one of the catalogs I got from Hammacher Schlemmer (HS), I thought this lamp looked very good. I had been looking for a pole lamp that had a movable head and a bright light for reading purposes. Normally I would look for reviews to confirm if the product is worth the money. However, coming from a name like HS, I figured the product would be quality. Upon receiving the lamp, I was impressed at its look, height and how much light it produced. However, that is where the good part of this product ends...
I set up the lamp, turned it on and enjoyed it. This lasted for one day when the bulb blew out. Thinking this might happen, I had ordered a replacement bulb. Maybe the initial bulb was bad? If so, then that bulb and the next two replacements were also bad. The three bulbs lasted less than 5 hours combined. This is nowhere near the claim on HS's website that each bulb lasts 10000 hours. This is even worse considering each bulb, which you can only buy from HS, costs $15. As a result, I was forced to return it.
I am posting this review, my first ever on Amazon, as a warning. The lamp looks good, but it lacks the most important feature a lamp needs, bulbs that work for more than 2-3 hours before failing.

Unlike incandescent bulbs that produce glaring, yellow light, this floor lamp's full-spectrum bulb generates clear light that reduces eyestrain and enables clearer vision. Simulating the color fidelity of natural sunlight, the bulb has a correlated color temperature of 6,400ยบ Kelvin that illuminates books, crafts, or computer screens with a distortion-free glow. The energy-efficient 55-watt bulb is equivalent to a 250-watt incandescent and lasts up to 10,000 hours--ten times longer than a typical bulb. The floor lamp has an adjustable neck and a four-way switch. The lampshade, neck, and base have an antique brass finish, and the eucalyptus wood pole has a cherry finish.

Adjustable Floor Lamp with Mica Shade from Destination Lighting Review

Adjustable Floor Lamp with Mica Shade from Destination Lighting

This lamp arrived quickly well packaged, but cheaply made. The finish was scratched very easily (just adjusting the height of the lamp gave it an unsightly scratch on the pole). Shade is poorly manufactured and mica is poorly fitted into the shade structure.

Pharmacy Floor Lamp W/adjustable Pole Review

Cal Lighting BO-117 100W Pharmacy Floor Lamp with Adjustable Pole
This lamp comes in Antique Brass, Brushed Steel, Rust, and Dark Bronze. Ours is brushed steel, as shown in the Customer Images.
Although called a pharmacy lamp, this is my favorite type of lamp for reading while sitting in an easy chair. That's because it's so easy to move the entire lamp and position the relatively small lamp head height and angle precisely as needed. The lamp head stays parallel to the floor, but it can be rotated about 270 degrees, which is far more than required.
The base is sufficiently heavy to keep the lamp from tipping over; the lamp head raises/lowers easily and is secured by a large thumb screw; and it accepts up to a 100w incandescent bulb with a type A (standard) base. A larger incandescent bulb would fit, but then the lamp head would dangerously overheat, since the interior reflector is plastic. However, any compact florescent bulb that will fit can be used, such as a 13w or 23w. The height to the bottom of the lamp head is infinitely adjustable from 43" to 55".
Overall quality is very good, and although shipped in multiple parts, it screws together without any tools in only a few minutes. Good value as well.
Highly recommended.
