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

I use this for painting. Very bright. Good quality. Not flimsy. Good price. Recommended.

The lamp is good—the only thing is that the first usage option (the base) is fragile and breaks if you aren't careful, but you still have the second option. I liked it, and it's good for the price.

I like this new Torchstar lamp. It’s ment for just lighting your one smalll work area, but it will swivel around to a second area if you work in an L shaped set up. I am having an issue with the lamp head. It can be repositioned but doesn’t necessarily stay where I aim it. Possibly I’m not getting the anchor nut tight enough. I do like that I can clamp the lamp to my work bench or move the lamp around and using its heavy base.

A few years ago I bought 2 of these lamps, looking the same but larger, that worked perfectly until the plastic support for one of the tension springs failed and the spring went flying away into the missing sock dimension. Trying to find another spring (or identical lamp) proved to be almost impossible when the designs change so rapidly -with more 5 Volt USB/LED connections, rechargeable batteries and exotic bending positions that have nothing to do with springs. The scale of these things is not easy to tell, but I thought I was getting yet another of the same kind as those 2. However this one is slightly smaller, with less stress on those springs, so I doubt it will suffer the same way as those larger ones. This one, TORCHSTAR metal desk lamp, still plugs in to house current and accepts a standard LED bulb. It comes with a clamp-on socket for the base of the lamp as well as a weighted flat base for a desktop. Instead of a twisting On/Off knob at the top of the lamp this one has a more convenient line switch that's on the power cord and easier to reach. It's a pretty good design in basic black, and should last quite a while without tornadoes, earthquakes or devious children.

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.

Works amazing! I bought this about a year ago and it still feels high quality, no deterioation. Works in all situations, so extremely versatile. Doesn’t get too hot and works amazing for hours on end. Extremely portable so works anywhere anytime.

Ok for price, but not a special lamp. Fits my desk, takes an E26, hit my need, too much plastic to be confident in it long term.

Se ve bonita en el escritorio, se ve muy retro. Funciona perfecto.Me gusto.

Good quality lamp base, exactly as described.

I am thrilled about this lamp, thank you. Great purchase!

Solo me pareció algo chica de tamaño. Requerí yo la lámpara para mesa de dibujo, llamado Restirador. pero mas grande.
