Ideal for space-efficient task lighting, this little desk lamp capitalizes on its versatility and sleek looks. The globe-shaped base is just 3 inches in diameter and holds an easy-access on/off switch on top. Two extendable antennas reach up to 12 inches high and support a spherical shade with a clear 20-watt halogen bulb (included). Tilt the light with the stick handle to get the perfect angle of illumination. Finished in glossy black and chrome, this lamp offers a clean, modern style on any desktop. It's also ideal for a hobby table, cookbook stand, or dorm bunk bed shelf. --Kara Karll

 I don't understand the negative reviews December 3, 2007

Over a decade ago, back in high school, I had replaced my classic telescopic type desc lamp with a tiny (almost identical to this one) halogen lamp (quite expensive back then), and I didn't look back since!
Last year my girfriend was feeling tired when studying under her classic telescopic desk lamp, so I bought her this lamp (in white) from Amazon and a more expensive halogen with a longer neck from Target. It is this little gem that found a permanent place on her desk. While it looks small even fully extended, when it is placed on her desk it perfectly lights up all her reading area, with very relaxing light, without blinding her.
Why do reviewrs rate it bad, just because it is small? While telescopic mounts are useful for certain applications and working environments, this device proves that a well designed small mount can effectivelly light a typical desk.
Ok, if your idea of a good lamp requires a length of 2 feet (according to a reviewer), I guess you should check the dimensions clearly stated and move along. If you are a designer etc and need a telescopic lamp to move around, look at the picture and move along.
If you want a great yet ridiculously inexpensive desk lamp, you should give this a try.
The perfect lamp for want I was wanting! September 13, 2007

I think that this is a great little lamp and the description is very accurate. Those who don't like it apparently did not pay much attention to the description. I am using it as a computer cart/nite light and it lights up the keyboard very nicely. I also think it is attractive, especially for the price.
Small but powerful January 23, 2008
Its size is small, but the brightness is high enough for me to working on my computer desk.
The top parts of the lamp is very hot after lighted on for a while.

Between my home and work I have ~ 6 or 7 of these. They perform well, they don't eat bulbs too quickly. They are fairly light weight; if you like your desk appliances to weigh a ton, that is the only thing I can imagine that there could be to dislike about this great little lamp. I you have an Ikea near you I would recommend saving $3 and getting the exact same lamp they call the "Espressivo."
Good for task lighting September 2, 2007

I read the other reviews and understand the problems they had with this lamp. It is not a desk lamp! However I use it for my computer keyboard in a fairly dark room and it works great! So, if you want a lamp for task lighting this is a great lamp, but it will not work for a desk lamp, choose something else for that.
