I ordered this relatively pricey ($324.00) daylight/cool light LED floor lamp in silver by KONCEPT (Model AR5000 Z-Bar) from Sun & Moon Ecolight and fulfilled by Amazon.com in mid-January 2013 for intended use as a task light with a new DELL all-in-one PC and an adjustable Ergotron 24-280-085 Workfit PD Sit-Stand Desk (see my review) that I had recently purchased. Aesthetically, this silver lamp matches both the black & silver case of my new PC and the silver top/black base of my new desk very well indeed.
Amazon did miss the promised 2-day PRIME delivery window on this item and promptly gave me a $10.00 credit to be used on a future purchase for this omission a nice gesture and fully in line with Amazon's always exceptional customer service.
The light itself has worked very well so far with its truly amazing row of forty-two 10.5 W third generation LED bulbs. I specifically wanted an LED floor lamp as opposed to a desk lamp to keep my new desk free and clear for other things. The absence of heat in the light provided and the overall longevity (50,000 hours) of the bulbs themselves is what attracted me to an LED lighting solution in the first place.
The lamp arrives in a relatively small box and you might even think that there must have been some mistake when you first receive it: "Is something amiss? Is this all I get for $324.00?" But there is no need to be disappointed. The secret lies in unpacking and assembling the four all-metallic form-fitting sections of the lamp contained therein. Everything fits perfectly when a little elbow grease is applied, but the sections do not really snap together as mentioned in the instructions. They just more or less fit together upon insertion without any audible feedback. Lo and behold, after finally attaching the all-metal round base you have a full-size albeit relatively skinny, long, bar-like LED floor lamp to fulfill your lighting needs. And your wish is truly its command!
The greatest convenience of this lamp essentially a bar of light when used as a task light is its high degree of adjustability: You can easily put light most anywhere that it is needed, as well as adjust the intensity of the light from off to maximum illumination or anywhere in between via the touch-sensitive control mechanism on top of the lamp which is located just to the left of the KONCEPT logo. There is no conventional light switch of any sort on this cutting-edge lamp. The lamp swivels 360 degrees around its metallic base, has an additional two adjustable joints along the pathway from its base to the final section that contains the 42 LED bulbs all aligned in a single row (yes really 42 bulbs!). This final lighted section likewise can be turned 360 degrees about its axis for optimal light placement. Be aware that this is NOT a lamp designed to light up a room; it's purpose is to provide light of the intensity that you choose where you need it.
If you specifically want an all LED lamp in either a desk or floor lamp version (silver and black finishes, cool and warm light available) and can afford the price, this is a very impressive lamp that is worth some serious consideration. Purchase one soon and in a moment of transient omnipotence you too can give new meaning to the phrase: "Let there be light!"
NOTE: If you register this lamp with Koncept.com on the Internet after purchasing it, the already impressive 5-year manufacturer's warranty will automatically be extended to 6 years by KONCEPT.

I have only had the lamp for about 4 weeks, but in that short time it has worked well. The cord is long enough to make it to the outlet without any difficulty. The light quality is good. The light bar that rotates 360 degrees is great because sometimes we can aim it at the ceiling and use it to illuminate the room. The on/off/dimmer switch works well and is not overly sensitive.
