Bought brand new at the local Dick Blck. Assembled and only one light worked. Wouldn't recommend.

I use this lamp in my studio and am really happy with it. Good light, small footprint, easy to adjust.

I have only had it for a fews weeks which is why i only gave it 4 stars. But it is very bright, stylish and functional. It has four levels of brightness more than I expected. Made for anyone who does closeup work.

My workspace is tight, very tight. And while my apartment has great natural light when the sun is out, it's not out nearly enough, and then there's night, so I needs lights. I've two (different brands and types, both okay, but not great), so this is my third light, and probably the last I'll need, assuming I don't buy another and get rid of one or both of the others I have.

This one is phenomenal in that you can move each of the long lights in a 90-degree arc, respectively; so that's 180-degrees of adjustment. Lights adjust nicely (4 levels of brightness), and at their brightest are very nice. The light is warm (not temperature), so it illuminates my drawing pads, papers, etc. quite efficiently, and again, with the ability to make even micro adjustments, those little reflections or "bad light" situations can be fixed quickly.

The only negative I have discovered is that the on/off switches are on the ends of each "bulb" section, and the switches are sensitive. This is likely not a problem if you've got the clamp (very simple, effective clamping mechanism, btw) on the top of your drawing board or otherwise out of your way, but due to my cramped set up, I've clamped it more or less in front of me and work "through" it. Point is: those sensitive switches sometimes turn activate with the touch of a sleeve or arm. I do not consider this a big deal though at all. Just mentioning it.

Summarily, an excellent clamping light for illuminating a small work area. One can only hope it lasts for many years.

Does what it says it will.

This lamp has surely lit up my life since purchasing it. Seriously, I have used other daylight lamps in the past and this ranks up there with the best of them. I was not really looking for a lamp with magnifying capabilities, so this one really fit the bill when I saw it. When it arrived in the mail and I unpacked it, I wasn't sure if it would be able to handle the big painting jobs that I usually tackle, but it more than lived up to my expectations. I have no trouble recommending this lamp to anyone interested in a good deal that performs very well.

Great lighting and flexibility, and perfect for my needs. Very happy with this purchase.

Comments about Daylight DuoLamp:

Great lamp, comes with 5 brightness settings. The 2 heads move outwards and the whole top can rotate, but the lights themselves are fixed so you can't have two separate angles. Not that big of a deal for such a small lamp, and it definitely can rotate to great angles. Overall, its awesome. Clamp works fine.

Comments about Daylight DuoLamp:

Great lamp, flexible heads allows light to be placed for best illumination. White lights allow great representation of colors. Each head operates independent of the other.

I'd been using an old style clamp lamp with a tin foil shade to provide light over my easel. This lamp is unobtrusive, is designed to minimize glare, and casts even light - at 3 different levels no less! The clamp is a screw down affair, so more secure than a spring clamp. It adjusts easily and holds the position well. On-off and the different light levels are by touch on the end of the light rods. I've only had it a few days so I can't vouch for longevity, but so far I'm thrilled with this lamp.

The photos were taken at dawn, and my house is nestled in the trees, so it's not very light even on a sunny day. It is about 24" wide when used wide open so might not work for someone who paints large, but it's perfect for my needs.
