GLOBE Electric 52847 31.5 Inch Swing Arm Clamp-On White Desk Lamp with Nickel Accents, On/Off Rotary Switch, Book Reading Light, Home Essentials, Office Décor, LED Bulb Compatible

The lamp itself is absolutely awesome. The clamp? Is the biggest piece of garbage I’ve ever seen in my life it’s made of cheap plastic. When you put your lamp in it it just spins in circles. There’s nothing to clamp it down or to hold it in place and there’s a good chance It’s going to snap in half for me so I’m gonna have to buy a different clamp for all the lamps I bought which is a shame because the lamp itself is awesome. !! to bed. Too bad they don’t have one made of metal to clamp it to instead of this plastic thing. I’m still gonna buy more of them for painting but I’ll have to buy other clamps

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 screw4. I inserted the modified lamp's new dowel post into the clamp5. 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.

Works as intended, and setup was easily. The only minor gripe I have is that there are hairline cracks inside of the lamp shade. It does not interfere with the functionality, but I thought it should be mentioned.

Basic lamp, nothings changed about them in the last 30 years. Satisfied with mine

First lamp I got was used "like new" but was defective out the box. I saw Ikea sold a similar lamp and decided to try it out.The main differences are in the Ikea lamp having a better clamp, range of motion and wattage. While the Global Electric lamp has the more convenient switch.First of all the Ikea clamp has a slightly longer thread so it might help with thicker surfaces. The base of the clamp itself feels much sturdier with Ikea lamp. It weighs 25g to opposed to 16g for the global electric lamp. It also has tighter tolerances which means less wobble for the lamp once seated into the base.Secondly this might be nit picking but another difference is while both bases can be screwed into the wall, the Ikea lamp has a greater range of motion. The Ikea lamp is able to be pushed further back without hitting the wall should you choose to wall mount it. This could also be handy should you clamp it to the desk and don't want it bumping into things for those in a tighter space.Both lamps have a warning for the limit of Self Ballasted LEDs (SBLEDS) inside the lamp shade. It is much lower for that of incandescent bulbs. For the Ikea lamp the SBLED limit is 13 watts while for the Global Electric it is 10 watts.Lastly, the Global Electric does have a better switch placement. It is on the head of the lamp while Ikea has a paddle switch on the cord. I will be using these with smart bulbs so it's an non issue for me but your use case might be different.

I got this lamp in October 2022, and it's been a great task lamp. Way better than the strip LED ones that burn out in 6 months.Unfortunately the lamp broke in one spot, and I reached out to Globe regarding their warranty. They immediately sent a new one out and I couldn't be more pleased!

Works fine, but it feels very cheap and flimsy. I know it won't last.

Read all the negative comments and all seemed pretty petty at this price point. The reflector does align with two pin and groove points that could ,over time, wear loose. Initially the reflector seems rather secure however I will be installing a few rivets to insure it stays secure as vibrations from other equipment could cause it to shake loose. As for the mounting clamp, it is more than sufficient for the weight and range of motion of the light fixture. I feel it would be rather easy to overtighten and break the clamp but only if you intentionally do so. The weakest link would definitely be the contact point between the fixture and the clamp. To allow for a complete swing this lamp is designed with a simple gravity based, shaft/socket connection. It would have been nice if the bottom of the socket were drilled through allowing for a screw to provide a "lock" point into the bottom of the lamp shaft. Being as the shaft is hollow this is not an easy correction, after the fact. Overall, for my purposes this is exactly what was needed. I can see the noted issues causing a concern if this would have been a more expensive fixture but for the $20 price range what do you expect?

Aunq llegó defectuosa. Me hicieron la devolución inmediatamente y me dejaron que conservara el producto

Super light fixture, very pleased, highly recommanded.

Súper bonita y de buen tamaño, me encantó pero luego pedí otra y me decía que el envío se retrasó, yo bien emocionada pero no me llegaba y mejor cancelé el pedido 🤦🏻‍♀️ y aún estoy esperando mi devolución, quiero volverla a pedir cuando ya me hagan mi devolución 🫣

me gusta que los resortes vengan en ese acero natural, aunado al color blanco le dan un toque minimalista que es lo que más me gustó...Y si.... como dicen otros comentarios, la base no viene a medida del tubo, por lo que queda floja...

The media could not be loaded.  Muy bien hecha, funciona bien, 2 detalles, el foco es luz amarilla, quizas blanca hubiera estado mejor, se puede cambiar. y lo otro es algo que me hubiera gustado que tuviera y es un tornillo para apretar el tubo insertado en la base, ya que el peso del brazo hace que se gire sobre su eje. anexo video. como quiera no es algo que no se pueda resolver y que haga inservible el producto... detalle menor.
