Daylight Black Desk Lamp D33041 with Energy Saving Daylight Tube

I was looking for a nice looking light to do my very complicated cross stitch by, this one tics all the boxes. looks stylish,has a good heavy base to keep it put,doesnt ping back after you move it and the day light bulb shows up the colours of my thread to their truest.Also the light doesnt invade into the rest of the room, so the other half can watch tv in peace !All in all I,m very happy with my light, the emriodary is going well thanks

I bought this lamp 6 months ago and I am still very happy with it. I was a bit worried about the "flickering" that other reviewers mentioned but it has never been a problem for me. The initial flickering lasts for 2 secs and then is gone. The daylight is very practical, the clamp is very stable (also the provided base), the arm stays in position and the headjoint allows to direct the light where desires. This video intends to prove all of these points.

husband absolutely delighted. he designs furniture and was struggling to see in artificial light. this makes a massive difference to his business.

I did not get my lamps from Amazon, but I am leaving this review in case it might be of help to someone. I am aware that without the help I received, I should not have found or tried these products.
My first Daylight Company desk light was given to me by Taunton's Musgrove Hospital,low vision eye clinic, arranged by my sight-worker, some 8 years ago.
The difference it made was so great I bought more. They are too heavy for me to move around.
6 original florescent tubes have now failed in as many months after some 6 to 8 years of daily use; one used on a timer, and on for 10 hours a day,for a number of years, another on for at least 8 hours. I use no other lights.

I have ordered replacement tubes from the RNIB as they are much cheaper than elsewhere. You do not need to qualify as blind to make purchases from the RNIB which also stocks the lights. This can be done over the phone.
The Daylight Company support line is second to none.I needed to know how to change the tube.
The staff speak a number of languages.
The Daylight Company also make a light for professional artists to clamp to an easel or designer's/architect's desk with the special light parallel to the picture.
"Access to Work," supplied me with an Ultrasharp computer monitor because of the vision difficulties I had. Without my Ultrasharp laptop I should not be typing this, nor have attempted to access Amazon's site.Ultrsharp is a trademark of one of the well-known computer manufacturers.
Short daylight days had been something to dread because of the imposed inactivity.
These items have made the difference between my being frustrated, exasperated and angry with myself, and being able to just get on with things.

I bought this lamp today, and was delighted that it was so easy to set up, simply just stick it in its base, and it was ready to use. This lamp is especially well built, the base is very heavy and sturdy which is required to cope with the reaching arm of the lighting unit. The light is of exceptional quality. It is by far more brighter and of course 'natural' than my old yellow coloured bulb, which did give me eye strain and headaches. It takes a little getting used to because it is very much different than the normal lamps so often used. What I also really like is that you can position the light anywhere, and it STAYS !!. I highly recommend this lamp to anyone buying, a very good price for a great quality product. I dont feel cheated with the purchase, well worth the money, and at a sensible price. So well built and designed. I will look forward to purchasing something for my bed side soon.

I bought this lamp from a danish vendor based on the information stated on Daylight Company's website.

It specifically states: Flicker-free "Experience the Flicker-Free light revolution with Daylight. No stroboscope effect, no headaches, just a pure soothing light to relax your eyes!"

When turned on the lamp is flickering, vaguely. But so much that I noticed instantly.

I wrote to Daylight Company and their response was, that is was a mistake that Flicker-free is mentioned as it is NOT flicker-free. They will correct the mistake as soon as possible.

Just beware.

Otherwise, the build of the lamp is pretty good but I'm returning it because of the flicker reason.

Cheers

I have used very similar lamps for over ten years....and without question this is the best one yet!
The improvements are excellent, and replacing the plastic for a lightwieght metal is great. The main improvement has to be the easy way the light head joins the stand, as previously it was 'the weak link'. Now it's awsome.

Also, delivery was very fast. I am delighted with my purchase, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lamp, and ordering through Amazon.

Literally, the best desk lamp I've ever used in my life. The table clamp is strong and the arm holds the weight of the lamp well. There's a sturdy base if you prefer to use that.

The claims about the daylight light being better seem to be true for me. The typical yellow light I had on my old desk lamp didn't illuminate my workspace nearly anything as nicely as this lamp. Plus now, my eyes and head hurt less after many hours spent at my desk.

A superior lamp, highly recommended.
