How much wattage does this lamp have and is the arm flexible enough to aim it in a different direction thean straight down as I want to use it for har

Don't know about the wattage but it was a very small light. The arm can be moved to any direction and is pretty sturdy. The person I got it for uses it at work.

The lamp is pretty low wattage but more than enough light for the area of the glass, the neck bends in every direction.

The arm is very flexible. I have not found an angle that I cannot achieve with this heavy duty flexible arm. As to wattage, I don't know what it is. There are two LED lights and they are quite bright in my opinion. The only complaint I have about the system is that the battery compartment and the frame it fits into as well as the frame itself around the glass is pretty flimsy plastic. It has not broken or cracked but I treat it gently, The clamp and the flexible arm are made of metal and quite sturdy, It seems that it would not have taken much to make the frame and the battery compartment more sturdy, The arm is very flexible.

Yes, it swivels up and down, maybe not a full 180, but definitely close. I actually really like this lamp. It puts out a lot of light.

You can flip the base to the front of the lamp and have it lean forward instead of backward. And you can also use it horizontally or vertically. These are the only adjustments.

Not quite omni directional. If you look at the mfg website, http://www.g7power.com/A19-LED-Light-Bulb-870-Lumen-9.5-Watt.html, the beam angle is > 240. It's a decent bulb, just too tall & heavy for my needs. The cheapest I've ever seen it was $9.95.

I have had this lamp for 6 to 12 months now and am very happy with it. The joints are stable and do provide a way to tighten them, although I have never needed to use that feature. The Maximum horizontal reach is about 4 feet, depending upon height off the table top. Usable normal reach would be 2 to 3 feet. If I needed another lamp like this, I would buy this one again.

I used it 500 watt lamp and it worked fine. For stronger 1500 Watt, I am not sure.

This one has adjustable knobs that you can tighten the joints between the two arms, the arm and lamp, and the arm and the base. Probably the main reason why I bought this versus others. My experience is that the lamp stays in position with the knobs slightly tightened.

Yes the arms do bend. I have 8 foot ceilings and the light just hit the ceiling when I took it out of box. I was able to bend each arm down about 3 to 5 inches. You have to do it gradually. The light is really a nice light. I like the dimmer function it has. It really gives off a lot of light when adjusted all the way up.

I personally would not try anything different w the electricity. Note that this lamp takes only 15 watt bulbs! Try anything more, and it melts. My advice: buy a different lamp.

This is a very lightweight lamp. I agree with the poster that says you can move it downward to some degree without the base moving. However, when you tilt the lamp back up the base will move. In that case it would need to be stabilized by holding it down with your other hand. Nice lamp, but it does not have a heavy base.

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.

The socket flares upward and it accepts the standard sized bulb, the ones with the base of the same shape and size as good old regular 60W incandescents. But the lamp itself is wired for 13 watts, and the LIFX says that it can draw up to 17 watts. I hesitate to suggest overclocking the lamp by 17 when it's built for 13. IKEA, if they're prudent, built their lamp to cope with a bit of overclocking, but...the prudent consumer doesn't absolutely rely on this.

The arc on this lamp is tubular rather than a rectangular channel. THAT is a good thing! This lamp was purchased for my in-laws who wanted one similar to ours. Mine has the rectangular channel. As soon as my husband and I took it out of the box, we thought the quality was much nicer than the example we own. Thought about doing a switcharoo, but they would have noticed FOR SURE :) Buy it. You will be happy!

I'm pretty sure this lamp can take a A19 LED Bulb which is really functional than a regular 40watts bulb. I really think it can. It also includes an in line on/off switch with 120 volts. Get the lamp. It's very nice and the design adds a retro decor to your establishment. Hope I've helped you with your questionaire.

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.

No matter what wattage of bulb that you use, all of the light is directed upwards. So if you want a soft light to read by then this would be a good light. If you need direct light then this would not be the light for you. The lamp shade is made of plastic, not glass as it appears. I think 100 watts is ok, but I can not say for sure, I use a 60 watt bulb because I like the soft light.

Think of the two moveable portions of the lamp as your arm. The "forearm" contains the row of lights; the "upper arm" contains a strip, about 3 inches long, that is the actual touch strip, placed just above the "elbow" of the lamp. I'm going to buy another of these lamps as soon as I can, I just love the thing!
