Review on πŸ’‘ Globe Electric Swing-Arm Desk Lamp - Black, Base Included by Lynn Woodcock

Revainrating 2 out of 5

good light. Needs a little modification to fully articulate.

minus the star because the lower hinge does not move. See photo. In hindsight, upon closer inspection of the images, it should have been pretty clear that he wasn't moving. But then why springs on the lower hinge? If all 3 joints were articulated it would be a solid 5 stars. Overall this is a good light, especially for the price. However, I would love to find one like him with full articulation. Removing two screws. See photo. I suspect the manufacturer added these locking screws as a design "improvement" after several reports of the lamp tilting. Newer LED lamps are much heavier than older incandescent lamps and the lamp can tip over with a slight movement of your forearm. If you remove the set screws, check the stability of the lamp by doing a wobble test (press lightly and see if the trend returns or flips).
