BoostArea Torchiere Floor Lamp, 30W Super Bright LED Standing Lamp, Stepless Dimmable Pole Lamp with 3000K Lighting, Rotary Switch, 70 Inch Tall Metal Modern Floor Lamps for Living Room/Bedroom Black

We had an old lamp like this one that had a halogen bulb that had worked for 30 years, but finally was falling apart and no longer usable. We were happy to see this one on Amazon with the same type of metal, bowl-shaped fixture that would direct all the light upward so no direct light was visible. When it arrived, I was happy to see how easy it went together. You just have to be very careful when screwing the pieces of the pole together - if you cross thread it and damage the threads, it's going to be a problem. Just take your time and be very careful about getting the threads meshed before you tighten it down. Follow directions and do it exactly in the way they say, and it will go easily. Once together, we plugged it in and turned it on, and loved the range of light and softness of it. I had seen some that had cold temperature bulbs, but neither of us like that as the light is too harsh. This one is great- nice, soft light, and the dimmer works great - from very dim to quite bright. Way more of a range than we really need, but that's much better than not enough. And this LED light will use much less electricity than the old halogen one we had. I had read reviews from some who said the switch was too rinky-dink, and that could be true. We're just very gentle with turning it on and off and adjusting brightness, and hopefully that will never be a problem. Very happy! If any problems arise, this will be updated.

I love the smooth turn dimmer. This lamp also get so bright and can light up my whole apartment because I have an open floor plan. And, even though it is dainty and lightweight, the base is very heavy and sturdy so no wobbles. It was very easy to put together, too...just screwing all the poles together. by hand (no tool needed)! So glad I went for it and bought this one (it replaced my old rickety torchiere lamp from the 90s) Very slim and sleek and the perfect (non-obnoxious) pink. LOVE

Very nice lamp. Bright, weight. Good price.

I bought this for a friend with health problems and she can’t shop for herself. She wanted a floor lamp with good light and dimmer feature with an economical price. Met all these criteria.Assembly was not complicated.I am very pleased.

I was replacing 30 year-old torcheres and these seemed to have a similar look. My neighbour bought the pair for my birthday. They are so much better than the light the old ones gave off and have a great look and quality feel. I get compliments from friends and family about how much brighter the room looks. I must say I like them better too!

Great Floor Lamp. Love this lamp the adjustable LEDs are the glass shade defuses the light that comes from the side nicely. I just wished the base was a little boarder and had more weight.

UPDATE - THREE WEEKS and it is malfunctioning. I walked into my office tonight and it was on and dim. I checked the rotary switch and it was off. I rolled it to the full on position, but the light stays dim. Won't shut off. Unplugged it, made sure the switch was off, plugged it in, and it turns on to the dimmest setting still. There's no way to turn it off except unplugging it, and it doesn't brighten up at all when you turn it to the max on position. Going to try and return it.I still used my halogen torch light up until last week when it finally died. I bought this hoping it would be a good compromise, and it is.It is not nearly as bright as the halogen was. We called the old lamp "The Sun" because it was both bright and hot, and moths regularly cooked themselves on it.This lamp is ok. It is not as robust as the old lamp, but the price was right. We'll see if it lasts 30 years too.I don't understand the folks that complain that there isn't a remote for it. That's pretty obvious in the product description, and the rotary switch doesn't take anywhere near the effort to turn than hoisting a soy milk latte to your face does.It's a good lamp, but it's not as cool as the old fire starter was.

It's a pretty good lamp with a nicely weighted base and a manual switch on the pole. I chose it for the switch--it was worth the extra $20 to avoid dealing with the inconvenience of a remote.As others have mentioned, it's no substitute for the halogen torchiere it replaced. The dimming range is noticeably less--at its brightest it is dimmer, and at its dimmest it is much brighter, than my expired and dearly regretted halogen lamp. I don't really like the light color either, it's too cool for my taste. However, I solved that by draping a floral scarf over the light source (one great advantage of LED tech over halogen is that you can do that without incinerating your fabric). And, over years of use, the LED light color will warm up as the intensity fades.I don't know what happens when the light is too dim to be usable, there's no indication that the LEDs are replaceable. I dread the day I'll be forced to send it to the landfill.Like others, I had trouble with the threading on one of the joins. After carefully and repeatedly screwing, unscrewing and slowly rescrewing the two rods and brushing the threads with a toothbrush to remove clingy bits of paint and styrofoam, just to have it lock down again and again, I finally solved the problem by unscrewing it most of the way and applying a bit of WD-40. (I hate the fumes, but sometimes it's the only thing that works.)Despite the issues, for the money I paid I'm satisfied with this lamp.UPDATE: I bought two more of these lamps for another room. I noticed that the rotary switch and the join threading on the lamp components was visibly different.l so perhaps the new lamps were manufactured somewhere else. No problem at all with screwing the pieces together, WD-40 not needed. Still, if you order this lamp, won't hurt to have some on hand 😉
