The House of Troy piano floor lamp is perfect for use with a grand piano and is worth the price. It is attractive, solid, and well-made. I was tired of having lamps sitting on the piano and ending up in the way of music. The PFL-617 sits along side the piano and out of the way. The arm is easily adjustable and puts the light right where you need it.

Most of my family plays the piano and loves the lamp. I've had mine for a year now and have just ordered one as a Christmas gift for my mom.

Kudos to the folks at House of Troy!

The first lamp I bought for my grand piano was an articulated desk lamp with a cool, modern design. It looked okay but it was rather heavy on the desk and the luminaire did not light up enough of the music.

My second piano lamp was the clip-on light from House of Troy. It had a great beam spread and looked rather good. Unfortunately, it didn't balance well on my Baldwin and was prone to tipping forward. I had several near-disasters spurred by rapid page-turns.

My last piano lamp is this floor lamp, also from House of Troy. I like it because it stays out of my way, doesn't even touch the piano, and puts a good spread of light on the music. (I use a multiple-LED lamp in it.) Its size and shape complement the grandeur of the instrument.

One thing to be aware of is that the counterweight end of the boom takes up considerable space. The mast can be positioned quite close to the piano, but the boom is going to stick out 12 to 18 inches away from the side.

What can I say? It's stylish and allows the light to be used without blocking your vision.

Moreover, It doesn't sit ON the piano... For those people who have such lights... Don't you hate how the light vibrates and moves when you play? No such problem with the floor lamp.

AND, more importantly, I think the folks at Illuminati lighting and their customer service department are 6-star!!

Honest reviews on House Of Troy PFL-617 Counter Balance Portable Floor Lamp, Black

This is a nice looking lamp once you figure out how to put it together, but the assembly experience was terrible. First of all, getting the pieces out of the packaging was quite difficult. It is supposed to slide out of the box, but it wouldn't budge. I finally had to open the side of the box to get them out.

Second of all, there is a fundamental flaw concerning the wiring and the way the lamp arm connects to the vertical support. The wire is too long and there is a strain relief attached to the wire inside the vertical tube, so you can't just push it down inside the narrow decorative piece attached to the top of the tube. I had to unscrew this piece and then double the wire up and push it down through the threaded piece still attached to the tube. The problem is now that you have to spin the entire vertical tube assembly (including the weighted base) to screw the decorative piece (now attached to the entire lamp arm) back into the vertical tube VERY DIFFICULT TO DO.

The lamp looked nothing like the one in the picture. The box and packing looked like a 5 year old did it. The worst experience I have ever had with Amazon. I returned it, and did get a refund. Do not buy this!
