Thanks for your review! I am still undecided between trademark sunlight desk lamp and this one. Do you think this lamp is good for long hour reading?

I love the lamp and now own 2. While it is smaller than some lamps it gives lots of great quality light. I really like that you can unplug it and use it any place.

Hi JoeIt is not a task light for sure if you want it for reading work on your desk. It would be great for a nice soothing light. That is what I needed. Also, it is great for people like me and a very good friend who had depression issues -- a lot due to lack of light where we live. I do think it can uplift the spirits naturally.Hope that helps

When I was shopping for this lamp, I was specifically looking to treat my SAD. I researched what type of lights helped SAD best, found this brand, and am very very happy with my purchase. To treat SAD, I use this one and a smaller light (I have 2) for about 2 hours in the morning while it's still dark out. It could be used as a full-spectrum lamp (it's not harmful) but it is VERY bright. Almost equivalent to daylight. Hope this helps!

Hi Florence, I believe you just purchased 2 of the table lamps. You made a good decision. They are beautiful. They are onsite faster than what I was thinking. Thank you and please don't forget to leave your reviews when you receive the lamps. Now depends of Amazon when they ship the lamps. Thanks again, Flora

I would not say this lamp is nice-looking. It is an effective way to provide lots of light. My mother has one at her bedside and one at her desk, placed behind the desk with the lamp curved over the work surface. It does mean that things can fall off the desk since it cannot be pushed up against the wall, to make room for the lamp.

I use it for short duration reading. When I read for longer times, I turn on the overhead light and use the lamp to enhance the lighting next to the bed where it is a little shadowy. (My primary use of the lamp is so I can see where I am going when I get up during the night.) In short, you can use it to read, but I prefer more light for reading.

I think this would be a great desk/table lamp for working on puzzles. The light is very good - better than I expected. I use it as a reading lamp on my bedside table, often at one of the lower of the three settings.

It's as bright as any "real" candle. Personally I don't think it's suitable as a bedside lamp. Hard to say how many YOU might prefer for reading. Remember the base is about 3 1/2" in diameter so you'de need a fairly large nightstand. Also I think the flickering would get annoying. Abe may have done it, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. It may not bother you now, but you'll pay dearly for it in poor eyesight later in life.

I would recommend you make sure you are using the eco mode. I got over 4300 hours out of my lamp (bought it in 2011 and it's my only "tv")and it didn't even go bad. I knew i was gonna be gone for over a year so I changed the bulb for my wife. I bought a cheaper one just to check and so far it has over 1700 hours on it. might be worth a shot. make sure when you install the lamp you don't touch I the glass with your fingers.

Nope. This lamp isn't good for reading because most of its light is illuminated upwardly. However, I find it great for accent lighting. And if you'll use it for such application, I recommend a 40W Equivalent LED bulb. It worked best for me, especially this bulb: (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

No. I would not recommend this lamp. If you try to angle the glass shade, it flops down - no matter how hard you tighten it. So, at desk level, you often have direct line of sight with the bulb - which is harsh.

I have the pink one and even on the brightest light, the shading of the glass makes it tiring on the eyes to read a book. I'm older so I need at least a good 60 watt bulb with no shading between my book and the bulb. If you're younger, under 40, it'd probably be okay.

I use this lamp for reading and painting. It gives very good, natural light. As far as SAD syndrome, I really don't know because I don't have it on that much.

It would make an excellent task light. You can aim it as you like and the brightness is not excessive but just about right for reading etc. The quality is also very good along with the price.

Brian,I don't know the difference - technically between the "Happy light" and a CFL bulb - not up on that. I have noticed that if I turn the thing on at the same time of day and read or do what ever I'm doing for about 20 min to an hour - usually reading - I don't have as difficult a time with the SAD stuff. To me - it's just bright. It feels a little like taking a nap in a sunny window. Don't know what the difference is, but I'm glad for the light boost.

This is a great lamp for just this type of use. My wife loves this lamp and uses it daily for her reading, etc. Great buy, you will enjoy this lamp. I like the way you can adjust the position of the lamp to give you the best light where needed.
