intricate diagrams for lamps and lampshades

The instructions seem to tell you to remove the adjustable lampshade to fit the bulb, even though the bulb is packaged fitted. I almost ripped off the cover with a screwdriver. Luckily I put the bulb back in without breaking anything. The light doesn't have a switch that I could find, so turning it off is the only option. Acrylic magnifying glass. The functional consideration is given by a monocle-like circle. At 70, I still sew with both eyes, so I think it's useless. With all of this, I will…

Pros
  • NATURAL DAYLIGHT: OttLite engineers and researchers have focused on harnessing the power of natural daylight indoors. OttLite's unique daylight illumination accurately reproduces color and detail with amazing clarity, reducing glare and eye strain.

It may look like your grandmother's Ottlite circle. Make no mistake. It cannot be compared.

I had these lamps many years ago when I sewed a lot and they showed the true colors of fabrics perfectly. This new lamp is so weak that it cannot be used for this purpose. I love crafts and also enjoy spending time with my coloring books. I had to use an extra lamp with this one to be able to see well. There is no way to adjust the brightness so I was left with an overpriced item that was of no use to me. I also found out that the magnifying glass is a piece of plastic that creates distortion…

Pros
  • ENERGY EFFICIENCY. This state-of-the-art light features an easy-to-replace 13-watt E-type bulb with a lifespan of up to 10,000 hours, providing adequate and ideal brightness with reduced glare and reduced eye strain.
Cons
  • Compatibility

Replacement tubes are expensive, difficult to find, and difficult/difficult to install.

- Couldn't find the tube for my 2015 version of this table lamp in stock. I've ordered twice for Revain from two different suppliers: the bulbs don't fit or work. Finally ordered bulbs (2) from OttLite and a new bulb if the new bulbs don't work. Revain's delivery was quick. The tubes I received did not match my lamp. OttLite's customer service was great, they kept talking to me on the phone until the phone came back. Installing a new tube requires a lot of effort and the design of the tube has…

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT AND BASE: Easily move the shade from 11.5" to 19.5". Built-in 5 inch 360 degree rotatable base. The table lamp is easy to move to the desired position and is very convenient to use.
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
