Bostitch Office VLF100 LED Swing Arm Desk Lamp with Clamp Mount, 36" Reach, Includes LED Bulb,Black

Using it as a work bench light. Plenty bright. LED bulb - no heat.

This is exactly as described. Out of the package, onto the desk and it provides great lighting, position versatility and what a great low price! JUST what I needed--and quickly when my lamp with many miles on it died on me!

The lamp does what it says it will, but I found concerns with the clamp's quality. Let's go over the checklist that Amazon gave me while typing the review, as it touches base on everything I want to comment on. Flexibility: The lamp has no problems reaching across a 3ft by 2ft desk, when installed on the side, for whatever I may be working on. The arm easily holds any position I put it in. It will struggle to cross a desk larger than 5 or 6 feet wide and 3 or 4 feet deep, if installed on the back. Clamp Strength: The biggest flaw of this lamp. The cheap plastic clamp has difficulty establishing a confidence-inspiring hold on the desk. The only redeeming factor is that it has screw holes, so you can bolt it down. Brightness/Light Quality: The included bulb is of an acceptable quality. No shimmer or flicker was observed, and a decently bright, pleasant (to me at least) daylight glow greeted me upon turning it on. No immediately obvious CRI defects. I have not used it long enough to comment on durability or longevity. Functionality: You can replace the bulb with any bulb you want. It's only nameplated for up to 25w, but I've used up to 60w in it without damage. Summary: Overall, this is a decent lamp let down by a poor quality plastic clamp. It seems to be holding for now, but it took a bit of effort and trial-and-error for me to get it to a place where I actually feel comfortable with it. Even then, if I pivot it opposite its clamp direction, it looks like it wants to break off the desk. I have it mounted on the right of a sit-stand desk, with a small side-table (that holds a PC, a few chargers, and a number of trinkets) to the right of the desk. If I pivot the lamp over the edge to work with the side table, the clamp gets disconcertingly bendy. I struggle to decide whether to give it 3 or 4 stars. Consider it a 3.5 rounded up, because it's a good lamp other than that clamp.

Replaced the same lamp I bought a decade or more ago. The plastic base broke. This one, the new one, the plastic piece is metal. Maybe they figured out its weak spot? I like it.

I bought this to clamp to a cubicle wall for illumination of my 3d printers. The light is workable, but flimsy. One spring popped off during installation. The part that failed for me was the plastic clamp. no amount of tightening would make it hold without tilting and popping of the aluminum channel at the top of the cubicle.

I love LED lights. But I was getting tired of desklights that have built in LEDs - the LEDs invariably start to fail and the only option is to replace the entire light. This lamp takes care of that, buy a new LED bulb and screw it in and you're good to go again (and those bulbs generally last better too). It also gives you the option to vary the brightness (wattage) and color temperature of the light. It comes with a decent 9 watt bulb. I opted to push it up to 13 watts and that gives me all the brightness I needed, much better than any lamp with built in light that I have purchased. I will say that the construction is lighter than I expected, especially for something with the Bostitch name on it. I don't think it is just going to fall apart, but i would be concerned if I fiddled with it a lot and moved it around. For me it is almost exclusively position it and forget it, so I think it will last just fine. I did notice what another reviewer mentioned, that when you screw in the bulb it seems like the fixture tries to turn (along with the wiring), which is a bit concerning. I made sure to hold it and keep the fixture from turn while I installed the bulb, and I would suggest that you do that as well. Lamp is easily set up and attached to your table or desk. I did 'cheat' and kept the base of my previous light (which was a much more strongly made base) but the included one would have worked fine. I'm happy with my purchase and believe that this light will give me good service.

At first, I loved this; however, as time went on it ended up being more of a pain than anything. The mounting method was horrible. Every time I went to move the lamp to a different part of my desk because of re-organizing and re-arranging it made me want to throw the lamp through the window. So much so that when my wife asked for a lamp I ordered her a completely different one (shown below) because this one was just such a pain to mount. Rather than having the usual turn bar, like most lamps, this one had a nut you had to tighten and a top mounting part that had no actual secure method so often times it would act like it was tight and mounted and then you'd move it and it would fall. So I finally gave up and ordered myself the same one I got for my wife, which was 100% better. Mounted hers 5x for re-arrangements as well and never once had an issue. So I finally gave up on mine, took the bulb out and threw the entire thing away and ordered the same one I ordered my wife and now I've had no issues. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS - it will make you want to hulk out because someone was too cheap to put the normal mounting mechanism on the lamp and stuck with a nut. What we bought instead: Globe Electric 56963 32" Multi-Joint Desk Lamp with Metal Clamp, Black, On/Off Rotary Switch on Shade, Partially Adjustable Swing Arm, Home Essentials, Reading Light, Office Décor

The lamp is perfect for my needs--well-made, sturdy, somewhat old school (which is what I wanted), a basic tried and true design, and they even included a light bulb, fancy that! The only problem was that the box it came in somehow got damaged and appeared to have been opened and closed with tape. Not pretty. When I inspected the lamp, I noticed the "flawlessly" painted metal shade had a half-inch scratch. I kept the attractive, affordable lamp since the small defect was on the back, and I'd rarely see it. The instructions documents looked like they had been shoved in the box haphazardly. Still, I'm OK with the product. It looks fine clamped to my desk.

Avoid purchasing this lamp. It was not disclosed anywhere that it comes with a foreign power plug incompatible with Australian power outlets.

excelente calidad ya compre una segunda

No es verdad que sea toda de metal, la mariposa para apretar el cabezal es de plástico. Pero en términos generales está bien construida y trae incluido un foco de luz de día. Recomendable.

Es muy ligero el material por lo que lo hace frágil, la parte donde se soporta el brazo no tiene con qué ajustar para que esté más seguro solo se asienta y listo eso no me agradó
