GOOD NEWS. Beautifully designed, very functional (but see below), multi-adjustable, powerful LED reading lamp.
BAD NEWS. Over engineered: way too many levels of intensity and lacks a single purpose power switch. One needs to click-click-click-click to get to the highest intensity (the only one I ever use) and then again click-click-click-click to turn if off (or pull the plug).
MORE GOOD NEWS. Responsive and friendly customer support. A newly designed power switch is coming (but that won't fix my problem unless there will be some kind of a trade in/up program).
RECOMMENDATION TO THE MANUFACTURER. Just 2 buttons would suffice: on/off and high/low.
MINOR PROBLEM. It rotates too easily.

I have to start by saying that I do really like the look and styling of this lamp. However, there are a few critical flaws that make it way over-priced. It assembles easily and has a nice modern, clean look. I ordered the WARM light but it is not warm (It looks like light in a hospital operating room. Maybe their idea of warm is not the same as mine!)and it is not powerful enough. I expected, with the 4, not 5, options for lighting intensity (I guess the 5th intensity is 'off.') that it would be bright enough to light my bedroom. But, even though the lights are LED, they are not bright even at the highest setting. A lesser problem, but still a flaw, is that the connection for the plug is 3" up the leg. Why is the connection not on the base or better, under the base? For such a modern lamp, they could have put the connection, in an out-of-the-way place, instead of a very visible place. At the end of the day, I will keep the lamp, but I will not be ordering a 2nd one, or a table-top one, unless the price goes to about $80, which would be a fare price for this lamp.

This product does everything that it claimed it would do has a nice, modern aesthetic look. The parts seem to be high quality and the assembly was painless. The light levels are plenty high enough for reading, which is what I wanted. The warm light is pleasantly close to incandescent, yet there is no heat and no fire hazard from the bulbs. I sometimes leave the light on its lowest setting at night so that the lamp acts as a low-power night light.
My only suggestion for improvement relates to one set screw at the base that requires the use of a number zero screw driver. You can assemble the lamp and use it without tightening that screw, but if you pick up the light it will detach from the base. In my case I have the required screwdriver, but some may not. If the manufacturer either used a different screw type that was hand adjustable, or supplied a small driver, then no one would have to scramble for a screw driver. This is a minor item for a fine product.
I should note that the lamp is easy to dis-assemble in case you need to store it or move it long distances.
I feel that the lamp is good value for the money. As LED prices come down, I would hope to be able to buy this a year or two from now for a 1/3 or half of the current price. When that happens I will buy several more.
Honest reviews on i-Tower High Power LED Floor Lamp in Warm Light Silver
So far, so good with this lamp. It has a nice, modern design. There are a few pieces to put together, but it's not too hard and all you need is a small phillps screwdriver.
For those wondering about the cord, it's much like something you'd get with other small electronic devices there's a "wall wart" transformer, then a thin low-voltage wire that plugs in 3" above the base. My best guess for the reason it's like this is because the post from the base goes up about 2", so the 3" point is where they needed to put the receptacle.
The light uses out 2, 4, 6, and 9 watts of electricity for the four settings.
Also note, there are two models for this light with different light intensities: HLD500D / Daylight White / 4250~4750K and HLD500W / Warm White / 3200~3700K.
Mine is the warm white version. It does the job just fine as a reading lamp. One thing of note is that if you can imagine the light radius, the outer edge maybe 2-3" is yellow. This doesn't bother me however since all the other light is white and it has more than enough light radius for what I need.
It will be nice when LED lights come down in price.

I am (after a couple of weeks) totally satisfied with this lamp. I wanted one that didn't obstruct the view and was good for reading, as I require a pretty bright light. I was concerned about how much brightness would come out of the LEDs, but have found that the 2nd of 4 levels is all I need. Plus the lights are of course totally heat-free. The lamp is very easy to assemble and is quite sturdy with good tight joints. It can be positioned exactly where you need illumination. An excellent product. Thanks, Koncept.
ps: I needed some advice about the assembly, so called Koncept's customer service. Someone answered the phone right away and was able to easily talk me through the issue. How refreshing!
