This has both a circular fluorescent lamp and an incandescent lamp, as part of the shipment. You have an option to turn on either, one at a time, or both together. The finishing looks sturdy and excuisite. It has totally eased my reading and writing experiences, since the light output is very pleasing to the eye. Being a masters student with lots of homework, a full-time employee and with interest in cartooning, this lamp is an indispensible purchase I ever made, and very happy about it.

This is a great lamp, especially for color work. With both types of light, it makes a real difference in how color appears on paper.

However, as with another reviewer, my lamp arrived with no clamp, no instructions, and no light bulb. How am I supposed to use it if there's no way to attach it to a desk?

Nice, now I have to go out shopping and find a clamp, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid by buying online.

I just received the product today and was very disappointed: the clamp for mounting the lamp was missing as was any instructions/manual and no 100 Watt bulb. The packing by shoplet.com was absolutely unreal: they simply placed a UPS sticker on the outside of the retail box designed to be put on a shelf. Needless to say the trip via UPS obliterated the box and I suspect that is how the clamp and instructions were lost.
Normally the shipper's place the product in a larger box with some bubble wrap.
Now the real kicker: I got a bag of candy from shoplet the day after I ordered - packed in a really nice strong box! Somebody has their priorities wrong over there - they should spend the money on a decent box instead of overnighting a bag of candies that went in the trash.
Bottom line - good light - seems strong and well made, but beware of the seller - shoplet.com could become shopnot.com.

The lamp seems to be well made and heavy-duty (time will tell how well made). It was shipped in its display box, but wasn't damaged. There was no warranty card. The odd thing is that you have to operate two switches to turn on the fluorescent light: A red rocker on-off switch, then a black rocker switch to turn on the lamp. There is a third rocker switch for the regular bulb. The fluorescent bulb light output is very blue.

Compared to the $20 lamp I purchased at a big box store which broke immediately upon clamping to my drafting board, this one seems well made and durable. It provides ample light for task work and should last a lifetime.
