Too bad for Bulbrite and Amazon that the author of the the only other (2 star) review doesn't know the difference. This is a nice lamp. It's nothing like a lamp you would pay $59 for at Target or Walmart. It has good reach, it appears to be well made, and has great design aesthetics. I LOVE the fact that it offers plenty of light with the energy saving and cool-to-the-touch benefits of an LED bulb. At $150, I wouldn't call it a bargain, (I paid less) but I shopped a little and think it compares well with lamps of similar pricing. The free shipping is not for those on a schedule. I think Amazon put it in a backpack and handed it to someone hitchhiking to my city. It was s l o w and the response to my inquiry about it was lame. All things considered, I'm happy with the lamp.

The LED technology works exactly as advertised. I went out to my local office supply stores but this product is not carried; too pricey for many as halogen is still available for a bit less. My halogen had failed (heating issues) and a friend recommended LED as it is really safer that halogen so I gave it a shot. I am happy.

Best Deals for Bulbrite LED/STRYDE/SV Stryde LED Desk Lamp, Silver

I wanted a high quality lamp that has the ability to position light where I need it without falling over or breaking. This lamp does the trick, it can be postioned up high, down low, out far, etc. The base is quite heavy and keeps it from falling over. The articulating arm is all metal yet light and well made. The light consumes only 7 watts and should last basically forever. I use it for a work bench lamp where performance is more important than esthetics. My experience with lamps like this is that little stuff usually goes wrong like the switch breaking or the light socket wearing out, or the arm breaking, etc. This lamp appears to be pretty bullet proof and should last a very long time. I was hoping the light output would be a little brighter, but it's still plenty bright enough to read by and when positioned near an object, provides plenty of light. Light output is probably equivalent to a 50W incandescent. The other thing I wish it had was brightness control, it only has on and off. It's a nice lamp though and I'm sure the $150 I shelled out for it will be long forgotten and in the noise in a year or two while it continues to perform.

Honest reviews on Bulbrite LED/STRYDE/SV Stryde LED Desk Lamp, Silver

I haven't found a better desk lamp for anywhere near the money (when you can find these on sale, anyway!). This one puts out a usable amount of light (I don't know if it's equivalent to a 100W incandescent, but at least a 35W halogen) while producing very little heat, so you don't have to worry about burning your hand when moving the head around. But perhaps even better is the articulating arm that is a useful length, allowing you to place light where you want it. There are dozens of inexpensive "architect-style" lamps with arms that LOOK like they allow the head to extend, but actually offer rather limited reach. This lamp, however, is the real deal. Sure, it's a little expensive, but not when compared to what a similar Humanscale lamp would cost...

Negative 5 stars if that was possible. This lamp is way over-priced, very poorly made and pathetically "designed". It is badly constructed out of cheap materials--mostly thin stamped sheet metal covered by a fake chrome plastic tube. An expensive lesson in bad. I was shocked at how badly made this lamp is for the cost. This is difficult to tell from the product photos--the poor joints and details are not apparent even with the zoom, but they stand out on the product out of the box--I put it right back in. It does not come close to the mythical "$59.00 Target Lamp" mentioned in other reviews--don't know what these people are thinking. I have 15+ years in the product design and manufacturing world, I have designed, built and evaluated many lamps among other things, so I feel confident making these comments. Save your money for something better--buy the Target lamp...at this price, you could afford two!
