Works for me

I've gone through too many desk lamps looking for one that's just right. If I had hair I'd be like Goldilocks looking for the perfect fit.

For me this lamp is a perfect combination of illuminatin and style. The six inch base doesn't take up a lot of room and the lamp shade is adjustable by the flexible gooseneck.



I don't want a lamp that lights the whole room; I've got a floor lamp for that. The Globe desk lamp illuminates a large enough concentrated area to light my large desk calendar and keyboard; it makes reading in that limited area comfortable.



The cord is not very long but reaches far enough for my needs. If you need a six foot cord you'll need an extension.

The on/off switch is on the cord about a foot from the lamp base. Depending on placement this could be a problem in some applications.

Replacing the special fluorescent bulb with built in ballast could be a problem. I haven't seen bulbs like this in stores but they are available on Amazon. If you buy this lamp you'd be wise to buy an extra bulb at the same time.



I use thes lamp daily and am pleased with my purchase.More detail ...
