very flexible - pun intended
By Jon Norris
I purchased two of these lamps directly from American Science and Surplus several years ago, and they are both still working. I was surprised by the quality for such an inexpensive lamp.
The lamp housing and base are fairly lightweight plastic. The base is in two pieces held together by two small screws. There is a battery door in the center of the bottom of the base that allows access to install 3 AAA size batteries.
The lamp head is sealed and permanently attached to the gooseneck. There are 14 LEDs giving off a reasonable amount of bluish-white light. They are not extremely bright, but they give enough light to read comfortably in the dark with this as the only light source.
There is a black plastic push-to-make, push-to-break (sorry for the jargon - push it once to turn it on, again to turn it off) switch on the base near where the gooseneck attaches. They both still work and show no signs of being ready to fail.
The gooseneck itself is so high quality for this price that it is almost shocking. It allows a tremendous amount of movement of the lamp head and seems like it will last a long time.
The only drawback to these lamps is that they weigh so little. I have made plans to open the base, glue in weights and glue some non-skid rubber feet on them to make them a bit more stable. I have also considered getting more, adding a DC electric feed and modifying the base to make them console lights for a video studio.
These are great little lights. I have used them during power blackouts and on walks at night. They fit nicely in a variety of pockets and the head can be positioned to keep your hands free. One could also use them for any number of costume/device designs.
I have yet to use up a single set of batteries, although I don't use them terribly often. One could use lithium AAAs to get a very long shelf life and extra burn time.
American Science is a great company to do business with and they mail simple newsprint catalogs with some very funny catalog copy (one of their trademarks). I heartily recommend them and these lamps.

Good little desk lamp
By R. Wright
Inexpensive and effective. The base is a little light, so depending on the position of the light, it may tip over. I opened up the base and put some weights (steel washers, and that made it more stable. For the price, even with having to weight the base, this little light is great. It puts a semi-focused beam of light on my work area. I use it late at night when I'm working on my computer to light the keyboard.
Vendor is good, shipping time was reasonable, but there was NO communication past the order confirmation as to shipping date or expected arrival. But considering the price and the desk lamp arrived in a reasonable time, and the light was as described, the buying experience was OK.

Bright little light
By M. Port
This is a great little light. I use it for reading and a night light. I also use it to find things in drawers when my husband is sleeping. Its bright for my needs but, doesn't disturb him. Our power has gone out a couple of times and I've used it for getting around the house and/or reading on the sofa. My husband wished he had one so, I bought him one for Christmas. I bought one for my daughter too, for the baby's room.
