Flourescent lighting gives me the most awful headaches. Has anyone who has a similar problem tried this lamp? How does it rate?

I have just had mine for two days. I am having headaches for at least 4 hours after using it for 30 minutes. I think I will start using it for a shorter time in the beginning.

I wouldn't say I have a similar problem but I have found that using this lamp on a daily basis has not caused me any eye fatigue. I had originally purchased a different light that was 10,000 lux that was extremely bright and uncomfortable to be around and had to be returned. I am very happy with my purchase of this lamp that you are currently looking at. It's got an adjustable light setting if you're concerned about it being too bright on the high setting.

Fluorescent lighting gives me headaches as well, but this is a little different. The lamps help with seasonal affective disorder and are only intended to be used for 30 minutes/day. I have mine on my desk at work. I've never gotten a headache from using it, but do notice a difference in my moods when I use it consistently.

For me I have had to limit the use of this lamp to no more than 15- 20 minutes to avoid the headaches

I too get headaches from flourescent light. I use this light in the winter months to help combat seasonal-affective disorder. I only use it 5 minutes at a time. Hope this helps!

Whenever I try to adjust the height, it doesn't stay in place. In fact, one time the shade came crashing on my head. Now I have it at the lowest height and I turned the shade up so that the bulb faces the ceiling. This way it puts out plenty of light. I also use a different light bulb than the one that came with it. The quality on this lamp is very poor. I don't recommend getting it unless you are handy (like my husband) and can fix things, like the faulty switch.

Sure did. All of the clicking drive me nuts. I thing I have mine set at 5% tolerance and it fixed it. Going to have to find your own mix that works for your environment. It will pick up even the slightest light from like oven clocks to neighbors lights outside. It sees it all. My buddy had to leave his ir off and just use an external ir light. Good luck.

I've been using flourescent bulbs in mine without any problem. Hope that helps!

That is the symptom I had that caused me to buy this bulb.Installed it and have been good every since then. Call the seller and see what they say.

I get the same thing. Basically I just think that this isnt a very good flashlight. I would certainly not rely on it. I would never recommend that anyone buy this flashlight. Also really surprised that so many of the reviews are positive for this flashlights. There are so many issues with it. What an awful flashlight.

Here's my issue with this product...While I too enjoy the ambiance of the glow. That is not why I bought it. I bought it because of the overwhelming reviews that suggest that there is air cleaning quality effect. This is what I am trying to find out, does this thing pump out negative ions or not, or is it just a a lava lamp type decoration type thing. I too want to believe in this product, but I am looking for something concrete to base my confidence other then it feels so good. I bought 3 of this type of lamp and have them in my bedroom, living room, and basement. While the look awesome, I do not feel any crisp air type of effect in my opinion.

That happened to me about a month ago. Amazon was great and advice me to return the defective product. I bought a different brand of lamp now and it's been working great. Good luck.

I have not had any problems at all, but I have only had it for 3 weeks. So far I am very impressed with this light, it makes a huge difference.

I have three lamps like this. I have had no issues so far. Try to return if still under warranty.

By the way, I had no problems with them. I acquired 4 of those lamps last year and they are still working just fine. I am not a professional photographer, but for the kind of application I do have for them it was a good deal, I mean, low cost and good quality. Probably you may find better ones for sure as always.

I did. But the touch system (to turn on, brighten and dim) no longer works. I have to plug and unplug to turn on/off and no longer have the dimming feature. I'm not certain that the bulb is the cause.

Dear Debra, You have the same problem I had and I found out that I would have to order it and wait and I was so disappoint that I returned to lamp to the vendor for I had became dependent on my lamp and only had it a couple of months. So, I returned the lamp to the vendor. I do not remember receiving a refund but I am not positive.

I have this lamp for a few months & have not experienced the problem that you mention. I have unplugged it on occasion & no problem when plugging it back in. When I saw your note I unplugged the lamp & then plugged it back in & it went right on.

You should throw the lamp away! I did everything I could think of to make that lamp look decent - and I'm a chemistry teacher. It was definitely a piece of junk!

Maybe you have a defective lamp ...we did not have any issues and it still functions perfectly after a year. Call Amazon and they will issue a return form....best of luck with the replacement! Follow the instructions and you should be happy with the lamp!!
