The Tensor lamp is my first after a long hiatus. I'm still happy with their offerings however, I do notice a "cheapening" of the product line.

This lamp was functional. As an articulated arm construction, it performs well when the lamp arm is primarily centered above the base. The lamp tended to fall over when the arm was swung past about 60 degrees from center. The primary cause is not enough weight in the base.

The light produced is great for task lighting offering a sun like spectrum. I was a bit disappointed in the lamp head articulation. It would not hold its position and I could find no adjustments to stiffen it.

The back of the base has an odd screw adjustment apparently for ensuring that the armature does not rotate. From a mechanical perspective, it's a bad design but I'm hard pressed to come up with an alternate solution. Oddly I can't imagine why I would need such an adjustment ability given that other parts of the lamp lack appropriate adjustment ability.

I rate this a good by for the price. There are other better products out there but their price may be higher.

First. The lamp doesn't stay up by itself. It's a great light if you rest part of it on something that can hold it up, but if you want a task lamp, spend the extra money to get one that will stand up by itself. Also, the bulb it comes with is a full spectrum light and it is too white. You can easily replace this with a warm light 13 Watt bulb. My issue, is I called about this to ask and was told it did not have a full spectrum bulb -- it does!

                A:

                It's not a quality lamp. The switch is not attached to the lamp; it's attached to the cord and difficult to reach. The light it emits isn't a bright white for reading. The bulb is a 13W florescent bulb, which is low wattage and didn't give off that much light. After 2 days it began to burn out. I wouldn't recommended it. A full-spectrum light is what I recommend for reading. This lamp is not full-spectrum although it is advertised as such. Hope this helps.
