Has anyone ever used the more traditional "box" style lamps and can compare it to this desk lamp? I'm in wondering if I should spend the extra money.

Don't spend the extra money on this particular lamp. It stopped working after 2 weeks. Either the touch switch, bulb or some connection was defective so it would not turn on. I purchased this for someone else but I have used Full Spectrum lamps before and they make the extra difference especially if you need so see small detail.

Don't buy this lamp. After several months it just stopped working. Even though it has a one year warranty. There is no information on how to reach the manufacturer. I could not find it on the web anywhere.

My advice is to get this very good lamp, but don't buy the touch operating version. Opt for the button operating one. Read the Amazon description. At the end it will tell you the right model number.

I have used this type of lamp for several years to help with seasonal affective disorder and they seem to help on the dark days. They are also excellent for reading.

Hey Benjamin There is a side-by-side comparison of the various lamps Philips makes at the end of the listing for the HF3470. It looks like it boils down to this: The HF3470 has a replaceable bulb (what that entails, I couldn't tell you. It looks like the HF3520 must be a "forever" bulb). The HF 3470 has a "sunrise simulation" which I dig, and helps me wake up more naturally, which is what I bought the product for in the first place, so that was important to me, but is it for you? Lastly, the HF3470 has 2 sound simulations whereas the HF3520 has 5. I wouldn't call that particular facet a deal breaker. It looks to boil down to the idea of the sunrise simulation and is that worth roughly $60 for you? Happy shopping.

I bought mine last year and paid about $120.00 for 2 lamps. By the way, these lamps are beautiful and high quality. The lampshades are Brown, not red.

Responses always appreciated. Since you were obligated to buy this as per the high wattage lamp, would you say you, at least, got your money's worth?

Thanks y'all! I bought trial versions of the 60W-equiv. (soft white) and the 100W-equiv. ('daylight') -- and LOVE them! In fact, I'm thinking I won't be able to use four daylight 100W in my standing lamp -- that would make the (two-story, great room) living room look like a hospital operating theater!!(Oh, and John? Other descriptions say those (other?) bulbs use the "Cree LED Filament Tower Technology" to make the light be 'thrown around' like an incandescent, rather than focused like a spotlight. This 'ad' doesn't include that info -- so I didn't know if CREE used to make one without the 'circle of light.' Hence my question.) Thanks y'all! I bought trial versions of the 60W-equiv.

I do believe this lamp is brass I think? Because these colors are so closely related. It wouldn't make that much of a difference.

Yes it is a very nice lamp. We got it for our son that put it beside his desk to read and he loves it. Nice heavy base. Seems to be well made.

This more like a flood light than desk lamp. It will hurt your eyes if you look at. It lights up a room at work that is 20 feet long. If you use a shade or a diffuser, you might be able to make a small lamp. You will need a good heat sink and maybe a fan. It gets pretty hot with the optional power supply kit. You might want to try smaller wattage LEDs first.

Paul, check out the lamps on OneKingsLane.com and JossandMain.com. I ordered several from them and loved them all.

I think I understand what you are talking about; item 915083 is $30 and item 915003 is $25, both w/ free shipping & fulfilled by amazon. Strange. If you search each model in google, each lamp does show up so they appear to be valid models. To make it more confusing, I found two more model numbers for the same lamp. Perhaps the model # reflects a different manufacturing plant or year? For what it's worth, they are all the same. I ordered 915003 from amazon for $25 and I love it.

I ordered it and returned it...I would have used it for cross stitching and I didn't give enough of a circle light. I now use a Daylight lamp which seems to have a larger surface of light. This might be OK for a desk if you are working right under it.

Jerry: I'd love to answer this question, but I don't know what this base is. I can tell you I love this lamp. It is heavy duty an puts out tons if light w/o getting hot, which is perfect for me. My only regret is not getting the one with the magnifying glass. My eyes aren't what they use to be:-)

I just want to say that all of these lamps are so beautiful they are worth finding the answers. My husband chiseled out the hole a little & put in one of those new (spiral bulbs). There are gadgets that "marry" one type of electricity to another. Google it. Use top electrical code stuff, but this thing doesn't draw much. You'll love it.

Very few desk lamps have 300W bulbs - that is awfully bright. Also the lamp head is only about 17 inches above the base and aimed down. So, no, it wouldn't be as bright as a 300W bulb, but it is much brighter than most comparable LED lamps. It also offers a variety of color temperature choices that aid clarity.

I don't have any issues with the lamp (so far) I love it. Maybe you can return and get another one, well worth it.
