Great Desk Lamp!!!
I ordered two of these for our office and we love them! They are easy to assemble and get set up and we like that they are tall so they can actually be above the desk and shine down. They also take up very little space so it's a great lamp and a space saver. ALSO, I don't like LED so I swapped out the bulb for an incandescent bulb that is the same WATT and it is lovely....

Desk lamp was way too large for my needs
Too large and too bulky for a part time desk usage. Returned.

A Great Purchase
My husband bought this. I asked him his thought and he said "Pretty good, I guess. Four stars".

Adequate
Reasonably priced and adequate for the job. But printed instructions are terrible. Miniature diagrams and no written instructions on how to assemble the mounting mechanism. Fortunately I Googled “Bostitch” and found a video of a similar product. Written instructions could have at least directed me there.

Replacement work table lamp
I visited three stores in my area looking for a lamp. Staples is the only one who had a swing arm lamp. I got the last one they had. It works OK, but is no looker. I dislike the large 'bell' and the stamped metal frame. Otherwise, it's functional.

Simple, adjustable, effective
The lamp uses standard A15 screw-in sockets do I can replace the included bright white lamp with any coloured LED depending on the project I'm working on, can use incandescent 25W spot-bulbs as needed. The clamp is ancient but has worked for me for all kinds of location and work-tables. A year ago I paid 3x as much for a fancy flat LED lamp that shone into my eyes (fix...

Bostitch Led Desk Lamp VLF100
Had nice brightness, but was not 36" long as the packaging indicated. I needed a minimum of 36" and it was less than that. Cheaply made too.

Bostitch LED Desk Lamp, 36"H, Black Metal (VLF100)
Just a little to lite for my liking, but it works fine. I would like for it to clip easier to uneven surfaces.

Light switch stopped working and clamp is poor
Less than a year after purchase, the light switch stopped working reliablly. I would switch the lamp on and after a minute the light would go out. Tapping the light would sometimes make it come back on. Even when the switch was in the off position, tapping the light would make it come on. Also, the clamp does not securely hold the lamp to my table. Look at it cross-eye...

A Classic
This lamp is just like the one I had when I was in high school 60 years ago. Once you have it aimed where you want it stays in place until you are ready to move it. Use it in your office or attach it to a side table in your den - it fits in everywhere. It comes with a very bright LED bulb that I may change out, and sometimes it seems a little top heavy, but hey, so was ...

Doesn’t like to stay upright
Get what you pay for. This doesn’t like to stay upright and righting the screws doesn’t help

Super Handy For Painting And Crafting
This lamp is so convenient! I can easily move this from my bedside to my crafting table. Sometimes while seeing or painting you just need a bit more light. This is perfect for that. It easily attaches to most tables and provides enough light to get the job done. This would make a great gift for any artist or crafter you know. Especially if they depend on good light to g...
