Review on 💡 Black Finish Xtricity Desk Lamp - Adjustable Gooseneck, Clamp Base, 7W A19 LED Bulb Included, 120V, On/Off Switch - 10.25 Inch Height (26cm) by Joshua Johnson

This is a great bedside lamp - extremely flexible, with a metal shade and a retaining clip that opens wide. 1 star deducted because of the rubber buffers in the clamps. I didn't want the bad smell (to me at least) of the rubber sticking out over my head for hours every night. To solve this problem, I removed the pads (an easy task) and carefully covered the area that still smelled of rubber with brown. powdered and liquid dishwashing detergent without the smell of "paste" and leave for a week. At this point, the cured paste had absorbed the odor. I then rinsed the area thoroughly with ONLY the bare minimum of water and made sure everything was dried very, very well with paper towels and then air dried for a few more hours (it's an electric lamp, after all!). Then he was ready to attach the headboard. I decided not to add padding, although I could have replaced it with something else, like pieces of a soft cloth towel. Anyway, I love the lamp now.
