Adesso 5033-22 Eternity Extended Gooseneck Lamp, 37 in, 2.5W LED, Brushed Steel, 1 Table Lamp

Purchased the Adesso floor lamp two years ago, 2 of them and we LOVE them. Perfect for what we were looking for- more of an unobtrusive small floor lamp, not really tall, but perfect height to aim towards a book when reading in bed and trying not to keep your partner awake. Everyone that sees them loves how they look. This is not a lamp that will light up the room, or do much other than aim a small area of bright light. Because of the flexibility of the goose neck, its possible to aim it directly where you want it to be. Its an LED light, which doesn't get hot, the light fixture is flat and small, brushed silver. The on off switch is located on stand, perfect height to reach over and turn it on or off.

There are many lamps out there and I picked this one for the flex neck and the contemporary design. I really like the way you could place the light where you wanted it, though the light brightness was on the lower side. However what has really disappointed me, is that the lamp has now failed. It just simply shut off and that's it. You are not able to change the bulbs, though seller claims that they will last 50,000 hours. Don't believe it. I did not own this lamp 9 months, no return or exchange (as of yet) so it's nothing more than paper weight. Really disappointed. If the seller exchanges it, then I will update this posting.

This light is every thing it seems to be. It has very nice, albeit harsh high temp colored light, perfectly adequate for no eye fatigue and letting the wife get some winks. The stem is long enough to reach any where it needs to go.My one gripe; it is switched downstream of the transformer. This means the transformer is sucking about 90% of the electricity it uses when turned on when it is turned off, and unless it is on a switched receptacle it is sucking and wasting electricity 24/7. I mean I bought this thing to save electricity but it uses way more than a incandescent just because it has that vampire load when it's turned off.

We needed a light by our front captain chairs in our RV and it had to have a long enough neck, that it would reach us when installed... a bit of a ways back on the sides of the chairs. We bought two and these were perfect! We are so glad we bought these, they fit our need perfectly. Good light and does exactly what it says.

I had read the reviews here of all the Adesso LED lights and knew that the LED technology provides less lighting than incandescent or halogen bulbs and are more expensive to purchase, with the benefit of being much more energy-efficient, heating up less, and lasting basically the life of the product (there are no bulbs that can be changed, but they say they last up to 100,000 hours). However LED lights have not historically been used as lighting because the bottom line is that they don't project too much light, but they're great for traffic lights, etc.However some companies now are trying to use them now as lights. Adesso failed at doing so. This light just insufficiently lights up a single page to read, and as you move from the center, there is slightly less light. You can read and there is no glare, but I don't think it's enough lighting. I've read reviews here of another LED lamp that uses many more LED lights than Adesso's 20, and it gets good reviews but costs a lot more.Also, the gooseneck design is poor. As other users have noted, it doesn't maintain it's position, e.g. you have to overbend it in one direction to get it to settle back somewhere in between.For $15 total (with their mail-out coupon) at BB&B I got a nice, attractive, stainless steel halogen desk lamp w/ 2 brightness settings (the lower setting provides enough illumination, much more than this lamp) with a gooseneck head that works perfectly.Lastly, this is the second Adesso lamp I buy. I bought the first, a halogen desk lamp, refurbished here. Within 4 months it broke completely after just minimal usage and never falling, etc. I got a partial but not complete refund from Amazon since it was past 1 month. Adesso would not repair or replace it, just sent me a new bulb, which I had already tried, which worked for literally around a minute before burning out. I had assumed that that lamp was just a lemon and refurbished, but now I believe this company makes poorly-built lamps.

This lamp can't take the place of a table lamp, because the area it lights up is really just enough for one page of a book, but because the lamp is so adjustable, and the quality of light it produces is so good,we really like it. It's great for curling up in a cozy chair. What I like best about it is that print looks very crisp and clear with this light. I guess our other lights produce more glare; this one is very easy on my eyes. We also have a similar fluorescent lamp from Full Spectrum Solutions. My children hate it, and it tips over easily and breaks the expensive and somewhat hazardous bulb. This lamp is a lot safer around kids, but it cannot light up a whole room, or even one chair. Nevertheless, I plan to buy some more so we don't have to fight over it. I just hope they will make some in the future that have about 60 LED lights in them.

Attractive from a design perspective. Flexible gooseneck offers many lighting options and angles. Seems sturdy. Price reasonable. Bright white light. 5 stars.

I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about; the color is not the "cool" blue LED style.. I bought mine in 2013, so maybe it was updated? Looks yellowish to me, but very bright. I LOVE being able to direct one head toward a white wall for more room illumination while directing the other head right over my books on my desk. I also use it when sewing and put one head behind the machine and the other in front. I can't believe there aren't more double-necked lamps like this; I looked for a long time and this is the only one that fit the bill.
