Berenice Large Table Lamp

5 Star Review

i put it on my table next to computer and next to my bed. it all looks great

I've just happily ordered two more Berenice Lamps. This makes five lamps of the same type, but different sizes, that we have and use on a daily basis. I really can't say enough about these lamps. They preform so efficiently. Their design is ultra simple, easy to use, they take up very little space and provide focused and easy to manipulate lighting. We've had two lamps for eight years, and another for nearly five years with absolutely no issues, other than a couple of burned out bulbs. Some care does have to be taken putting the bulbs in, and initially installing the flat glass protector and the glass lamp shade. The shade, in particular, has to be put on just how the instructions indicate. But if done right, with just the right amount of pressure, it snaps right in and stays secure. There are really no other issues that I've encountered that have made me question these lights. I'm not sure why one has to pay more for the ivory glass lamp shade than the other colors. That seems odd to me. We have a blue one that I like, but the green somehow drove me crazy after a year or so and I opted to buy a simple ivory colored shade, which again, costs more than the others...but was good for me. I know these colored shades are a signature part of the lamp, but if you're planning to use one of these as a bedside light, you might consider getting the metal shade as it keeps the peripheral light to a minimum, if that's a concern. Our recent two lamps have smaller transformers, and that's a welcome change. All in all an excellent, beautifully designed light that seems to last.

We own the large and the small. My husband who is tall uses this at his desk. We love these lights and have owned several. I looked for years for a better reading lamp and never have found one. I highly recommend.

This is my second Bernice table lamp and although I am in a period of my life in which I think less is more I just had to have another. Loved my experience ordering the lamp, learned the meaning of Monocacy "A well sensed garden". Will look to Ylighting for all my future lighting needs.
