TROND Floor Lamp, LED Torchiere Uplight Lamp, 5 Brightness Aluminum Modern Standing Light, 5500K Natural Daylight, 5000 lm, 71in Tall, 30 Mins Timer, Detachable, for Office Living Room Bedroom, Silver

I bought this lamp about 5 years ago and loved it. It's solidly built, one of the brightest I could find, and the fact that there's no cord connecting the pole sections means it's super easy to assemble AND I could take out a section and put the lamp on top of a credenza when I bought one.But sure enough – as other reviewers have noted – around year 5, the lamp started flickering and the brightness dimmed. I was bummed but I decided 5 years wasn't a bad lifespan and so I bought the lamp again. The new lamp arrived yesterday (same unit but bought a diff color this time). Works as expected. Great.Here's the interesting part. This morning, out of curiosity, I plugged the old lamp into the new power supply. Viola! The old lamp worked fine; no flickering and full brightness. It's been running fine all day.So, it appears that it's the power supply that goes after 5 years and not the lamp. I haven't found a suitable replacement for the power supply (photo attached) on Amazon yet but similar ones go for less than 15 bucks.UPDATETwo weeks later and the old lamp is still running perfectly using the new power supply. So it was definitely the power supply that failed at year 5 and not the lamp.

This is such an amazing lamp for the price. If you rent and need to adjust the poor lighting, this makes a huge, huge difference. The design is sleek and simple and the lighting options are amazing, you can dim it or make it brighter. If you are an artist and work at night or have a poorly lit kitchen this one lamp will make your space much more user friendly. It is revolutionary and I intend to get more of them! The bottom is weighted and comes with scratch pads to protect your floors, the parts just screw easily in together, and it does not take up too much space. Love this lamp!

I bought this light because, at 5000 lumens, it was the brightest I found on Amazon. And the 3000K color temperature is a pleasing color. I bought it to replace a 300W halogen torchiere, which is also rated at 5200 lumens and 3000K color temperature, so I would expect the output from the two lamps to be the same.Admittedly I don't have the tools necessary to measure the lumens or color, but it clearly does not put out the same brightness and color. It feels significantly dimmer and cooler (though the cooler may be my perception due to the lower lumens). In the attached pictures, the 1st show just this lamp on, and the 2nd shows just the halogen lamp on. Note how much dimmer the 1st is than the 2nd; I swapped positions of the lamps in case it changed anything, but got the same results.I like that the poles have the wiring/connectors built in so I didn't have to fiddle around fishing cords through the tubes. The tubes fit together well (I wondered after seeing some competitors where the poles had a poor fit) and it looks fine, if a bit wimpy. The lamps are the same height, but this lamp is just 8.4 pounds compared to my old lamp that is 14.2 pounds and feels substantial. The base and top are about 9 inches, compared to almost 13 inches on my old lamp; and the pole is 1.0 inches compared to the old 1.5 inches. All in all, it just doesn't look or feel very substantial. Not as important as the light output, but it contributes to (or detracts from) my level of satisfaction.Overall, not what I expected. It is not really a satisfactory replacement for my old halogen torchiere. The only respect in which it is better (or even comparable) is that it consumes 30 watts instead of 300. watts. I was hoping I would love it and was going to buy another one for the other room, but I think I'll keep looking.

I like these lights. I just ordered two more for a total of four. I got the sunlight option 5500k option and it works for me, but would not work for everyone. It is a very white light. I face the light away from the center of the room, and bounce it off the walls and beamed ceiling. I use the first two in my high-ceilinged and large bedroom. It has no overhead light, and gets really hard to work in in the dark hours of winter. The whole room brightens with these lamps which is both invigorating and makes it much easier to see what you are doing.Although these are screw together poles, the joints are not very visible unless you’re looking for them and within a few feet. The poles are a nice quality which look they will hold up much better than most stand lamps (screw together or not). There is no visible wiring except at the base to connect to an outlet.There is a on/off button on the poll which is lit and highly visible at night, for better and worse.The light is quite modern. The flat disk at the top is what provides the light, but also makes it look kind of space-shippy, maybe?I’m a little concerned about how long the lighting elements will last. The polls could be reused, it’s just the disk and its attachment point that would need replacement - if they are offered..
