– Mother and Child Uplighter Floor Lamp with Reading Light – Black Chrome with Adjustable Reading lamp - Standing Uplighter for Living Room, Bedroom, Dining Room – G9 33W and R7s 230W

This is a good uplighter, very bright, versatile with the reading light, good dimmer etc. I think some of the parts, especially the glass is a bit cheap/fragile compared to more expensive items but you get what you pay for. I think it look quite nice but my wife thought it cheap looking (we disagree!). Putting it together is incredibly fiddly - sort-of as bad as your average Ikea purchase, if that gives you an impression. That said, I have been using it now for about 5 months and I am very happy with the unit.

This lamp is one of the best items I have purchased, for its really good looks, its sturdiness, and the very-controllable light-output. My lamp is brushed satin chrome. The dimmer switches are easy-use firm 'clunk' switches which I really like and not loose and woolly It sits in the corner of my room and the light-output is anything from very low and discreet right up to full-on brightness which will brightly fill the whole of a medium-sized room if that's what you want it to do.I could not understand why many people found this lamp so difficult to assemble or suggested that it is 'cheap' or may fail sometime fairly soon. It takes a bit of thinking for a few minutes but the instructions and diagrams are easy to follow and quite clear enough. It is probably best to have a helping hand due to the length of the uprights while gently drawing-up the pre-configured cables back through the upright poles but it was not at all difficult. Everything screwed neatly into place exactly as per the instructions. The base of the unit is lovely, quite heavy, and supports the whole unit very well indeed, with no tilting or swaying. Just ensure you screw the components together properly and tighten any nuts that they show you to do. Even the proper size spanner is included.Absolutely ensure that you separately purchase the stated Halogen lamps that are specifically suited to this product so please don't moan that they don't supply these with the uplighter unit, For those who may not be aware or familiar a Halogen lamp is a hot strip-type bulb if you like to think of this way (nothing whatsoever like an LED lamp) and was very easy to slot into the main light unit but I do confess it was harder to fit-in the much smaller Halogen lamp into the mini down-lighter part of the overall unit. My lady partner has slender fingers and this helped a lot (a little difficult with fat fingers). NEVER, EVER hold the glass of a cold Halogen lamp with bare fingers as this will considerably shorten its life-span after you finally turn it on. Hold the Halogen lamps ONLY by the supplied foam-wrap that comes wrapped on the lamp, or some tissue paper, (but MAKE SURE you remove the foam wrap or tissue paper before turning on the actual lamps).A fabulous product with pride of place in my room. I highly recommend this product, and no I do not work for the company nor have any loyalties with them, nor any incentives whatsoever. I just love this uplighter lamp. It's very good looking, sturdy, reliable, and incredible value for money. The delivery service was prompt with ongoing email advices all of the way.My sincere thanks to the supplier and the supply-chain. I'm a very satisfied customer..

Firstly, the good things. This is a lovely lamp; perfect for what we needed. We have a large room that only has a central light fitting so we needed something to light a far corner, where my husband sits and does his jig-saw puzzles. The 'daughter' bendy part is perfect for that, being able to direct the light exactly where he needs it. The uplighter is also an excellent light and the dimmer feature means that, if either of us should need to get up in the night, we can switch the uplighter on in it's dim setting, which is enough to see by without the horrible glare.Now for the not-so-good. Firstly, the lamp comes packed in thick plastic, which has to be cut with scissors all the way up (with all the fuss about plastic these days, I'm not sure that's a good thing; thick paper would be more eco-friendly). Secondly, it was not that easy to put together - especially by a man who never reads instructions! Screws that needed unscrewing had been done up so tight that he really struggled. Thirdly, we weren't able to position to lamp exactly where we'd planned because the cable isn't long enough to reach the socket; it could do with a longer cable (Although I realise that isn't going to be a requirement for some rooms). Fourthly, and this is the one that most annoyed my husband, it comes without the bulbs. To be fair, it does say it comes without the bulbs, but we think it should come with one bulb for each light because then we can see what they are like for future reference.For those four reasons, we give this product only four stars out of five, although we love the lamp.

really fast deiverylooks good and really bright on full beamideal for a corner as you can have it on low on a dark and miserable daysupplier was great to interact with as i had a little problem with itwould buy again

This is a cheaply made lamp. On the 1st use the reading light dimmer swtch failed and does not dim or switch off!Be careful when istalling the bulbs, there are sharp edges to the tin reflectors.Not a good buy.

Lovely lamp. Good quality, easy to assemble. Highly recommended.

A nice lamp but some of the parts did not fit together easily, the small arm on the smaller light would not screw all the way on the thread, and one of the switch knobs had come off in the box, and although it could be put back on it is not properly in line. The most annoying thing which I should have realised is that no bulbs are included so with hindsight it might have been cheaper in the long run to buy a more expensive one ( there seem to be several similar lamps available), which included the bulbs.

ordered this as my previous uplighter decided after 10yrs of solid service to retire itself. After deliberating selected this product based on reviews and cost.Firstly, arrived well packaged and ahead of the estimated delivery day which was a bonus.Product requires assembly but is very easy to complete and especially if you follow the instructions.The product has a simple modern design and works just as well as a lamp should. Remember to order bulbs as they don't come with the packaging and to ensure dimmable bulbs bought. The range of brightness is exceptional and unexpected; there is no need for any other light in the room. For me the lowest setting is fine and lights the room well. At it's highest setting it is basically daylight!Highly recommend
