Review on πŸ’‘ Globe Electric 56963: The Ultimate Metal Clamp-Swing Arm Multifunctional Desk Lamp, 31.5", Black by Doug Olson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's SO convenient!

This lamp is well made and easy to adjust. Functionally, it outperforms any table lamp that just sits on a table, unless you're worried about decoration. The lampshade is large enough to cover a standard LED light bulb. If you buy a lamp with a shade that is too small, you will regret it. The yoke is metal, surpassing the plastic yoke that comes with similar lamps. The clamp fits a table up to 2 1/8" thick and your table needs a 2" wide edge to clamp properly. If you have too much thickness or the edge is too narrow, you can drill a hole (about 1/2 inch but not too big) in the table to install the lamp base. Then install the large washer over the base. a hole so that the lamp base does not dig into the table. I installed several lamps this way. Many tables these days have holes drilled to accommodate cables etc so there is no difference.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Obsolete
