Function ok, aesthetics not so good November 14, 2009

The lamp works and I haven't found the light to be too dim. The box says the lightbulb included will work for years and the replacement is $6.66 in Amazon, so the unusual ballast of the bulb shouldn't be a problem. My only complaint is its appearance. The color makes the metal look more like cheap plastic, and it isn't appealing. I have a very similar lamp bought at Walmart for the same price, and the finish is brushed chrome... what a difference!

I've gone through too many desk lamps looking for one that's just right. If I had hair, I'd be like Goldilocks looking for the perfect fit.
For me this lamp is a perfect combination of illuminatin and style. The six inch base doesn't take up a lot of room and the lamp shade is adjustable by the flexible gooseneck.
I don't want a lamp that lights the whole room; I've got a floor lamp for that. The Globe desk lamp illuminates a large enough concentrated area to light my large desk calendar and keyboard; it makes reading in that limited area comfortable.
The cord is not very long, but reaches far enough for my needs. If you need a six foot cord, you'll need an extension.
The on/off switch is on the cord, about a foot from the lamp base. Depending on placement, this could be a problem in some applications.
Replacing the special fluorescent bulb with built in ballast could be a problem. I haven't seen bulbs like this in stores, but they are available on Amazon. If you buy this lamp, you'd be wise to buy an extra bulb at the same time.
I use thes lamp daily and am pleased with my purchase.
Just ok. March 12, 2009

You get what you pay for. This lamp is alright, a little dim, but it works well for me. I am a little concerned about replacing the bulb when it burns out. It seems to require a special brand sold by the manufacturer.

Decent desk lamp. I wish it was a little bit brighter sometimes, but it works well other than that. I'm assuming it's the energy saving bulb that comes with it that is causing it to be dimmer than other lamps. Nice design and functionality though.
