Globe Electric 12641 Architect 32" Swing-Arm Clamp-On Lamp, Black Architect, Finish, LED Bulb Included

This is a really nice lamp; we set it up in our guest room. When our adult kids are here they are always working. Both of them like the look of this lamp and just how easy it is to reposition it.

The clamp I received with my lamp, unlike what some other reviews have said, was metal -- solid cast aluminum. I have no concerns about it failing. In addition, the lamp articulates well, feels fairly sturdy (while still being light enough), and the switch is a typical rotating post lamp switch with a satisfying click. My main complaint is that the lamp just drops into the clamp and stays there due to gravity. The bottom joint of the lamp has a rolled sheet metal post that fits--with basically no wobble--into the hole in the clamp. This would be fine, if it wasn't for the fact that this is an articulating lamp: I accidentally lift it out of the clamp when pushing the lamp head up and away from my work area. I REALLY don't like having to carefully move the lamp slowly and in a roundabout path just to "retract" it without it falling out of the clamp and wrecking its surroundings. After a week of this silly babying, I modified it like so: 1. I bolted a piece of dowel to the bottom of the lamp arm joint (I actually expanded the existing sheet metal post and fit the dowel inside it.) 2. In the clamp, I drilled and tapped an M5 hole that pierces the hole the lamp post sits in. 3. On the dowel, I filed away a slot all the way around at the height of the newly drilled hole that is wide enough for an M5 screw 4. I inserted the modified lamp's new dowel post into the clamp 5. I screwed an M5 screw just far enough into the new hole that it captures the dowel. presto! The lamp still spins all the way around, but it only lifts up out of the clamp about a millimeter. Now I can shove the lamp all around without worrying about it falling out of the clamp. I doubt it would be hard for Globe Electric to add this type of screw-in-slot capture mechanism to the base product. Had I not be able to (relatively) quickly fix this issue, I'd give this lamp 3, MAYBE 4 stars.

I'm very happy with this lamp. It replaces one just like it and I love it. Very versatile and does what I need it to do. Easy to set up also.

the base does not hold together if you want to move it you can't lift or it will come off. I solved the problem with a zip tie. Also the lamp head has spaces (probably to reduse heat) and I don't like the way that looks. The lamp socket shroud/shade doesn't attach completely or snap into place, and if you try to move the lamp putting force on it, It could come off and need to reattach. more of an old school lamp to me I bet it will last a long time.

Bottom line: I'd be a little disappointed if I had paid $75 for this. But for the price, it is an absolute bargain. It moves fine, and it stays where you put it as long as you tighten up the joint friction screws. It's a convenient size, and the clamp works fine. The clamp is die cast pot metal, so if you overtighten it, it will break. But I tightened it plenty firmly enough to keep my lamp from going anywhere, and it is holding up just fine. The included bulb is a nice color temperature, warm white not blueish at all, but I will probably change it out for a brighter one. Basically don't tighten the clamp like the lug nuts on your car, and this is a great little lamp.

The people at Amazon who award the "Amazon's Choice" label need to re-review this one. It's very cheaply made: I used it "gently" and within about 3 months, the lamp head would not stay upright: it would just spin down and point at the desk, no matter how much you tried to tighten the thumbscrew on the clamp. After about 8 months, the plastic part that connects the lamp "head" onto the arm just shattered into pieces and I had to throw this in the trash. I've been an illustrator for 100 years, and the sad thing is: I can no longer find a decent quality desk lamp to even recommend...

Estoy comenzando a comprar mis cosas para mi pequeño espacio de uñas, definitivamente me encanta esta lámpara estaré pidiéndome la segunda ❤️

I already have six other architect lamps in my workshop, all shorter, most with flat weighted bases. I got this one to mount behind and swing over my buffing wheel. I found the clamp to be good, nice and secure. The size and range of motion is exactly what I needed, and the included LED bulb is plenty bright, and white! I am now seriously considering replacing all of my other workshop lamps (each of which cost more than this one did, without bulbs) with more of these. This lamp is the best bang for your buck when it comes to this style.

La lampara es excelente, de buena calidad de materiales, muy funcional, de largo alcance, fácil de armar, muy buenos acabados, en fin muy buen producto.

DIE LAMPE IST NICHT ZUGEBRAUCHEN. SIE HAT EIINEN KABELSCHALTER UND EINEN AUSLÄNDISCHEN STECKER !!

This is a great swing arm lamp. I needed a lamp that could reach over my queen size bed to specific positions. So I could directly get the light I needed without having to be on the edge of the bed and leaning towards a table lamp. It holds position well, no slipping. It moves out of the way when needed and has worked great the past few months I have had it. Uses regular bulbs, no odd size that only fits one lamp in the home. The clamp has never slipped and stays in position. I am pleased with this purchase.

lighting things up !

This is the second of these lamps I buy. Used by my girls to read in bed. The first one is used on the lower bunk bed, which my daughter enclosed in blankets for privacy. No heat emanates from this LED lamp, so no risk of fire or burning her fingers when moving the lamp head. Second was bought for jealous elder sister who is now schooled from home. It swings easily between her bed and her small desk so she can work/read/study with appropriate lighting. In both cases, the spring system is sturdy enough to hold the lamp head where positioned. No sagging or spring back. Overall, satisfied with both purchases. A bit expensive, but built well enough to be worth it. Would have liked the option of a screw-in base bracket for wall/bedside mounting, but can make one myself.
