TORCHSTAR Metal Desk Lamp, Adjustable Swing Arm, E26, Red

It’s a really nice lamp for the price I put the light and the arm put it into the base and the base cracked that held up the light so it’s just really thin plastic pretty cheap but they’re gonna replace it and I’ll see if the second one works better, but it’s worth it. I’ll send a picture to show what happened.

Perfect i recommend,but it doesn’t come with a bulb tho .Brightness is top notch easy t use sturdy,quality is high and easy to adjust the switch on nd off.i bought black nd its exactly what i got .i highly recommend

Torchstar Swing Arm Lamp is excellent value at just at virtually the lowest price as an ordinary goose neck desk lamp. It provides great flexibility for the desk, study table, kitchen, tool bench, anywhere as a work light, you name the use. I wouldn't term the construction as tough or industrial, but it is very functional and reasonably built for indoor lamps. Electrical components seem well made, decent quality, and durable. Product box states it is UL listed for US safety. Dual-Base design makes useability a unique and ultra versatile feature for any home or business.

This compact and versatile lamp solved a space problem and makes an ideal worklight in that small space. Its size makes it just right for a reading lamp by an armchair where there isn't room for a fullsize gooseneck. The small lampshade focuses the light where I need it to read by, and the fact that it comes with both a clamp base and a freestanding one expands its utility. The joints are a little tight but that means the head stays where I put it, and it's easy enough to reposition using two hands. I can't speak to durability since I just bought it, but it seems well made enough to endure constant gentle use. Very happy with my purchase (and the affordable price point).

Pleased with this right out of the box. I wanted a simple, reliable lamp for working on tabletop projects that didn’t have 8 color temperatures, 12 brightness settings, and looks like a cyborg praying mantis. Simple, stylish, replaceable bulbs, built to last as long as it’s taken care of. Sturdy without being obtrusive and I like that it comes with a heavy base for tabletop use as well as a clamp. One thing to note when using the base, the little set screw is a bit manky but the fit between the arm tenon and the base is so good that I don’t feel it worth worrying about tightening down. Smooth action, stays in place, good range of motion on the arm and head. Minimal plastic parts.

PROS- The lamp was about the size I expected, a small lamp to sit on a desk or corner table (about the height of a 2-liter bottle of pop). The base felt nice and heavy, but was far from sturdy. The Arms, Springs, and Shade appear to be sturdy metal, and the interior was bright white and likely would reflect a lot of light downward where I needed it. It was not pricey. CONS- The one I was shipped appears to have been opened, used, and repackaged - it was missing the table clamp advertised, and the Weighted Base already had a crack in it's plastic sheathing. The base, though heavy, is no a sturdy piece or solid, it has some inner material with a plastic sheath around it, which the anchor peg is a part of. As a result, anchoring the light assembly into this peg and adjusting it at all, bends and warps the oeg where it fans out into the rest of the sheeting, causing it to warp. This was how I found the pre-existing crack in that sheathing. The screw on the base to "secure" the light is made out of a very flimsy plastic - and no I do not mean just the head ot thumbscrew part - the entire shaft of the screw, which means it will fail ver quickly. This could probably be replaced, but it should not need to be. I can not speak to the table clamp as it wa smissing, but I have no confidence in it having been well made based on the base. I also very much dislike that the switch is a very cheap rocker switch, of the type that fail or burn out readily, on the chord and not a turn switch or even pull switch on the lamp itself. I cannot recommend this product because of it's poor quality of manufacture. It is a shame too, as aside from the cheap base, and switch style, everything else about this had promise.

It’s a decent enough lamp, especially for the price. But had I known about the base and clamp issues, I probably would have looked elsewhere. The base it too light; you can’t extend the arm too far out or the center of gravity shifts and it tips over. It will stay in the classic “lamp pose” just fine, but I bought this to put by my bed. I want it to be able to extend over/retract so that I can shine it down onto my bed as I do homework in my dormroom. And it can do that, but it has a far more limited range than it’s arm length would suggest due to it’s inability to not fall over when stretched that far. The clamp it comes with is also a bit of a joke. Can it work under ideal circumstances? Sure. But it’s fairly cheap feeling plastic (rest of the lamp body is metal), has a relatively tiny clamp diameter, doesn’t “lock” the lamp end into itself (it’s a friction fit for the clamp, the base has a thumbscrew you can tighten once you insert the lamp’s bottom so that it stays relatively secure), and does not have the strength/sturdiness to hold the lamp at anything but an upright configuration. You can’t clamp it sideways; it really can’t do anything that the base can’t do, except for save a tiny bit of space at the edge of your desk. I’m honestly not going to bother returning it, I will be using it for the foreseeable future because it does work fine. But if I happen to see a better one at a store or something, it’s probably going to get replaced. The build quality isn’t really there for how I wanted to use it, but it’s also not a knockoff or anything. It works, looks fine, and can get fairly bright depending on what bulb you put into it. I’m just disappointed by the balance issues, as well as the ineptitude of the clamp. Adding several ounces worth of weight to the base, and making the clamp strong enough to support the lamp sideways would easily make this product a 5/5, even if it meant increasing the price by 10 or 15 bucks.

Nice and easy to position. On/off switch close to base with easy access. Lights up the whole work area. Nice bench lamp!

So easy to assemble and it looks & works great! Thank you!
