I ordered this item because I have very positive experience with another LED desk lamp (PRISM TL 8200WH). It's not bad, but it's not great either. Here are details.

The color temperature is close to cool white and must be over 5000k. I like this color, but the color temperature is a personal preference. The color of light from this lamp is far from the color of incandescent bulbs.

It's dimmable by constantly touching on the switch. However, you should have in mind that the dimming is achieved by PWM (pulse width modulation, basically on/off the light very fast pace that human eyes cannot detect). When dimmed, you must be able to detect the flickering. Waiving hands in front of the lamp will show you how terrible the PWM frequency is. The only brightness without flickering is the maximum, so just forget about dimming if you are sensitive to flickering.

The light from this lamp can be glaring, because there's no diffuser in front of the LEDs. It can be harsh and annoying for some. In front of the LEDs, there is just a thin acrylic film which obviously is not able to prevent glaring.

I wouldn't say the craftmanship is a top notch. There are some rough cut edges and smeared out epoxy that bond plastic and aluminium.

There are still some features I like about this lamp.

It's very flexible. Advertisement is true.

I like how the LED part (the lighting part) connects with and the arm. LED part plugs into the arm and rotates.

I like the idea that touch sensor switch works for both on/off and dimming, but, as I said above, dimming is almost useless because of the low frequency flickering.

The list price on Amazon website ($300+) is ridiculous for this quality of lamp. I'm glad that I bought it at the reduced price ($53), but I still think it's overpriced for the quality.

Before I bought this one, I also was thinking about the floor lamp from the same manufacturer, but I wouldn't now for the reasons above.

Bottom line: It's not bad, though. If you're okay with glaring and flickering (when dimmed), it'd work for you.

To the manufacturer: Putting a diffuser will be the easiest and quickest fix for this product.

This lamp is quite impressive and was a big surprise considering the cost. It truly is a $350 lamp judging from the design, finish, quality and features. I liked the first one so much that within hours I was ordering the second one. I bought both for about $47 each; they have increased about $20 in price but it is still an excellent value. Highly recommended; you won't be disappointed.

The lamp is quite stylish. However it has a touch on/off switch, which has started to malfunction (won't turn on/off sometimes, dims/brightens by itself.) It is not serviceable.

Very nice flexible light position adjustments. Quality is good. Heavy base so the lamp sits firm on the table. It gives bright light but I would like it to be brighter.
