Head is heavy and will not maintain most positions without causing the lamp body to sag toward desktop.

I had looked for this type of fixture and was disappointed as too what others were asking for. But then I found you guys and was very pleased that I bought two of them for less than what the others were asking for one.

The lamp I bought at IKEA was twice the quality, at one-third the price. The mounting bracket of your lamp broke the moment I installed it to the wall. The swing head is to heavy for the lamp and never stays in place. Since I bought two non-magnifier lamps at the same time I can compare. They are all cheap quality. Don't buy this lamp if you want to get everyday use out of it especially if you need to swing it around a lot!

Very nice lamp. my wife uses it for manicuring her nails and other small jobs which require good light. she doesn't see well. it came equipped with the new energy-saving bulb. it was exactly what she wanted. we could not find this item locally. the shipper was conscientious about keeping us informed as to delivery times.
