Is this product appropriate to use as a lamp for the home office desk? Looking to replace a 3-way 50/100/150 with something nicer looking.

I am bed ridden and it sits beside my hospital bed and use it for reading. It has 2 levels of light to use. Find to be much better then my bed stand table lamp 50-100-150 cfl for reading.

I for one just use this particular lighting fixture behind my head post bed for a very nice reading lamp in my room but, I do not think it is real extravant for office use.... anyway's works great for my needs.

I would not say this lamp is nice-looking. It is an effective way to provide lots of light. My mother has one at her bedside and one at her desk, placed behind the desk with the lamp curved over the work surface. It does mean that things can fall off the desk since it cannot be pushed up against the wall, to make room for the lamp.

You could it sits on the floor not sure how much light you would get over the desk. I would sit it in front of the desk and adjust the head of the lamp up slightly. I have it sitting next to my recliner in the living room works great for reading.

This is not "that" bright a bulb. I use it because my power goes out a lot and I can point it at what I am working on at my desk. It swivels up and down, not side to side. And no, you can't change the bulb. I don't think it sounds like what you are looking for.

Sophio, I'd love to answer your question, but I had the lamp shipped directly to my daughter's house as a Christmas gift. BTW, the lamp is beautiful.

In looking back at the description of the lamp, I found: Lamp Is for the single wattage bulb (100w, 150w), it is not for 3-way bulb.

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

sorry I have no idea. I don't use it as a lamp. I just use it as a hanging decoration.

I would say this is the type of light to give you "bright daylight". It is fantastic for reading and making a well lit room as you can choose the wattage you want. 2 lamps in a room that size should be sufficient .

Hello, max watts is 60 I think but you can use energy saving bulbs to give more power. It's a beautiful lamp but for a desk may give too much light around, which could bother your eyes. But... I think it could work.

I think it should be fine. Against a off-white wall, it's very good and used with a proper screen it's very bright. So much so that I run it in economy mode to preserve the lamp.

No. I would not recommend this lamp. If you try to angle the glass shade, it flops down - no matter how hard you tighten it. So, at desk level, you often have direct line of sight with the bulb - which is harsh.

I found it to be very bright, not sure you would want to replace for a floor lamp. The 1300 Lumen light is more for reading, or crafting. Bringing the light to the area where you are working. I use mine mainly for knitting, it gives me added light to see better.

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.

Sorry, this lamp plugs in like any ordinary table lamp. It is very, very nice though, so if you can work it out with the plug you'll be happy.

I would say no as the lamp is (in my opinion) rather flimsily made. I returned mine since the stand came bent and could not even be put together.

If being used as the main source of light I would say no. They would be perfect for extra light above your desk but I wouldn't be happy with 2 of these as the main lighting source.

I personally wouldn't recommend it since it is not made to be a ceiling light, it is a plug in lamp.

I replaced a 12V/5W krypton incandescant "MR8" size lamp with it. Worked great. Runs cooler, was brighter. ("MR8" is a standard bulb size for this type of lamp_ Maybe the color wheel motor will last longer now. It's in the Xmas ornament and stored away. I did find the bad one I took out, still on the workbench (which it replaced nicely): That measures 2.5 cm diameter at top (just under 1"), and height is ~2.6cm(1") from top of glass to bottom of glass (not counting the pins)
