This lamp is brilliant and so much better than the last one of it's kind that I had.
The design is great and easy to use. The switch is in a handy position. The stem is completely flexible so that you can move the light-head around well. The base is compact so doesn't need a lot of space. I am particulaly pleased to see that it has an ordinary plug - not a transformer.( The last light that I had like this did have a transformer plug which got so hot - it melted. Very safe - NOT!)
The Lifemax light also makes me feel good when I'm reading in it's lovely daylight glow
I couldn't ask for me. I thoroughly recommend it - it is great value for money.

An excellent reading light giving a broad spread of pure white light
with minimal shadow. Small but solid base allows the lamp to be located
close beside user's chair. A liitle care is needed during assembly to
avoid cross-threading the two sections of the stand, a light smear of
petroleum jelly simplified assembly. Highly recommended.

First the good stuff. Excellent spectrum for serious reading, with brightness more than adequate from the 27w CFL. I assume from the weight that there is quite a bit of electronics in the base unit, and it certainly keeps it well anchored!
The build quality is what one would expect for the price paid, viz pretty good, but not the beat. The description as being of plastic doesn't do it justice since it is substantially metal with plastic goose-neck and lamp housing etc. OK I'm 5ft 10ins, and taller sitting down than standing up (!) but I can't see how the on/off switch could be made any more accessible, a criticism voiced elsewhere.
Contrary to another comment the assembled sections are really quite rigid once you have correctly assembled the unit ( but see later). I thought that the height might be a little low cf a conventional standard lamp, but I must say it is ideal for reading which is its raison d'etre.
Now the not so good stuff. As has been highlighted by others, assembly is tricky at best, and I personally found it very difficult single handed. The sequence of assembly is non intuitive, viz base first, top second, and middle third and last. This deserves to he highlighted more than it is. Folding back the final excess of cable into the base pole is really very difficult indeed, and there just has to be a better way. The sections do not fit readily together and as has been commented elsewhere it would be only too easy to cross thread the sections. This does not impart a feeling of quality. These difficulties are compounded by the fact that none of the threads gave been lubricated (i.e. greased). Would it have been so hard to lightly grease the threads or at least to provide a small sachet of Silicone grease for the purpose? Fortunately I had such to hand, but at a minimum assembly should not be attempted without at least a modicum of Vaseline!
So basically a good performer but flawed because of poor assembly method ( come back MFI all is forgiven!). If you can live with this, buy it, otherwise you'll have to go for an Alex lamp at the egregious prices they charge. Can you guess what I did?
Bon courage
