Works for me
By Spudman
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.

Just ok.
By Sarah_86
You get what you pay for. This lamp is alright, a little dim, but it works well for me. I am a little concerned about replacing the bulb when it burns out. It seems to require a special brand sold by the manufacturer.

Hard to find bulb
By John Gault
The lamp works well enough and seems sturdy. My issue is the bulb is not a standard light bulb which I thought it was when I purchased it. I use 13 watt cfls in all my lights and when I saw this included a 13 watt cfl, I stopped reading the description.

Had I read on, I would have learned that the bulb is not a standard cfl, but has a GU24 base which is hard to find and expensive.

The only place I seem to be able to find them is Amazon and a few other online retailers, and they are around $8.00 per bulb. Half the price of the lamp. I can buy 8 packs of standard 13 watt cfls from amazon for $10.00, so this seems really expensive to me...

This bulb isn't going to last the rated 7 years either, none of them do. When it burns out, I'll remove the socket and replace it with a standard screw socket so I don't end up throwing the lamp away.
