Very Good Lamp, but
By BenVerified Reviewer from Roy, UT on 9/14/2008

Area Of Illumination, Convenient On/Off, Long Cord

Hobby

Bottom Line:

Comments about Staples Black Incandescent Magnifying Clamp-On Desk Lamp:

I work with stained glass and other hobbies. The lighting and magnification of this lamp is great for me. The articulated arm works well. I use a Sylvania 13w-120v-60hz Fluorescent MiniTwist bulb and it provides very good lighting. I've only had this lamp 2 weeks and the plastic clamp has broken. Reading other reviews, I now realize this appears to be a weak point of the lamp. I am returning it today for an exchange because I still like it. I'll review the results of my new lamp after using it for a few weeks. Parts of the lamp are light weight and a little flimsy, but in the way I use the lamp it doesn't affect me. And, where can you buy a lamp like this for the price? I haven't seen any with these features at this low price. I would have rated it higher if the clamp had not have broken after two weeks.

Repair work
Describe Yourself:

Business
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Staples Black Incandescent Magnifying Clamp-On Desk Lamp:

The lamp works well, although to put in a power saver bulb I had to remove the heatshield. The only other problem is that the base is inferior and has broken, relegating the entire lamp to trash even though it still works.

Bright idea, needs more support
By BettyVerified Buyer from Kitsap County, WA on 9/17/2008
Pros:
Area Of Illumination, Compact size, Convenient On/Off, Dust cover on magnifyer, Easy To Change Bulb, Easy To Clean, Uses incandescent bulb
Cons:
Clamp is too smallweak, Falls off table, Hard to adjust
Best Uses:
Needlework
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Staples Black Incandescent Magnifying Clamp-On Desk Lamp:

I use this product to do counted cross-stitch
It is hard to find a place to attach the clamp. The clamp is too small and falls off the table when I try to adjust the lamp. The top part of the lamp, where the light is attached is hard to adjust and sometimes moves out of adjustment.
This lamp has many good features: compact size, uses a regular light bulb, the cover over the magnifying glass, and the ability to move it to different locations. However the size and strenght of the clamp prevents its use.
