After about ten years my flourescent desk lamp died. At first I
thought it needed a new bulb, so I put in a new one, no luck, the lamp
was kaput. Time to check Amazon and ordered this one:
https://www.amazon.com/SUNBEAM-FLEXI...mg_top?ie=UTF8
It arrived in two days and plugged it in yesterday. I love it!
Takes half the desk space and gives plenty of light. It has three
light settings, for most tasks medium is sufficient. It only uses 4.5
watts. I like that it's shorter, no glare in my eyes or the monitor,
and the matte black finish doesn't reflect light like my old one did
with its shiny ecru finish. Oh, can't beat the price, $12.55.... the
flourescent bulbs for my old lamp cost $12 and lasted about six
months.
The only negative is its line cord is thin, first thing I did was slip
a corrogtated shield over it, can't be too careful with cats.
I give this product ten stars.
