Daylight Company DN1510 , Duolamp_Clamp_White

I use this double arm, clamp on, desk lamp for painting and colouring with pencils or as ambient room lighting. Colours are clear and I can use one arm or both if using a reference photo, one arm if my computer is on works well. It doesn't matter if it is a winter evening or the middle of the night, I have good lighting at my fingertips.The on / off, adjustable brightness touch control is on the ends of the arms which I can angle with the swan neck being bendy. Easy to use, there are fiddly switches to find in the dark. It is also easy to clamp to a desk.The adjustable brightness is a plus point and I use it on low for cosy lighting while watching television.Only 14 watts LED. A very minor fault that the bulbs aren't replaceable but LED's last a long time.The only other thing that might be improved is an ability to angle the shades but I'm managing just fine by having the angle and height right.Thinking of buying the matching floor lamp as a reading lamp elsewhere.The Duo Pro desk lamp is certainly good value for money.

Very easy to put together.Because this light is slender and has an elegant slim design, you would need to be particularly careful how you use it. I’m an artist and it’s used at the back and slightly to the side of my easel. There are four settings and the ‘touch switches’ are operated at the end of the tubes. Both tubes are independent. So you don’t need to have both tubes on at the same time. The base is heavy, but it needs to be?The tubes are really super and mimic daylight really well. I just love the modern design of this lamp and the way you can position the tubes.......someone has really thought it out nicely!As long as you leave it alone when using it, and don’t let kids mess with it! and you screw up the sections really tight so there are no loose joints, you should be OK. It’s not the kind of lamp that would take rough treatment or too many bad knocks.You can’t change the led’s because they’re integral, but should last for years.I think this lamp is a lovely design, if a little on the delicate side! However, it’s very good at what it does - gives a daylight effect, and I personally think it’s a first class ‘cool’ piece of kit. JUST BE CAREFUL WITH IT!Not for the kids room or where it could get bumped into by big dogs!? This lamp is for discerning and gentle people!Since buying there have been disappointments from other people who have bought this lamp....I cannot understand for the life of me how the thread can be lost on the bottom section......if you cross thread the thread - that’s your fault, not the manufacturer? If you overload it’s electrical capacity it will naturally melt the innerds! If you leave it on for hours at a time it’s going to get warm.Use your head folks.p.s. Make VERY sure you tighten each section properly. Wrap a piece of leather ( or similar) around each section and using pliers gently apply pressure until the joints are nice and tight. Better still get a handyman to do it for you if you don’t have tools. It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL YOU TIGHTEN THE SECTIONS PROPERLY AND SECURELY.

I bought this for model making and painting, and It's superb, perfect for the job. The flexibility of the two bar lights is very useful, and the light is strong and clear. My last lamp had a clunky, heavy base but this just clips to the edge of the desk and frees up some space.

I like to update reviews after a period of use. This review is based on my initial test since the light will be used by my crafts-crazy better half!Anybody that does crafts will know that you need very good lighting (operating theatre lights aren't for show, after all!) because fine detail only becomes clear when you have a lot of light on the work area. Bright light is also essential for determining colours properly, as anybody that does cross stitch or other "thread-based projects" will quickly tell you. We already have a couple of reading lights in strategic parts of the house but wanted something a little more portable but steady, and more daylight-like full-spectrum light which is where this comes in.It is still a floor lamp, with the size and the base weight that entails, but the base isn't too heavy to move because the light itself is light and hard to topple. I decided to buy the version with forked lighting arms so as to minimise the problems of her ladyship working in her own shadow.Assembly is required, but the light is already practically completed and the assembly is only to screw together several sections of the upright and the bendy lighting element at the end, and screw those into the base. The cabling already runs through all of these parts, so it is pretty obvious how it is intended to be put together. When it is all together it's actually rather unobtrusive (a thin white pole, in fact) and isn't exactly unattractive to look at anyway. The lighting arms at the end can be splayed to various degrees or brought together - and these contain the LED elements that put out all the light.The lighting takes a moment to figure out. There are what look like on/off switches on the end of each splayed lighting arm (the universal power symbol of circle and line that looks like a stick in the top of a flowerpot) but these don't seem to be switches because there's no click, you just touch the lighting arm in that area and the light comes on.If the light seems too dim, you simply touch the lighting arm to get another stage of brightness, and you can cycle through the brightness levels back to the OFF setting, what's more, you control the light level from each arm individually.The lights also seem to cover a decent work area, and because the top of the lamp is a gooseneck arm that holds the lighting elements, it can be manoeuvered around and directed fairly well, and if intensity is needed it can probably be moved a little closer to the work area, a tabletop for instance, to get a few more lumens on the workpiece.So, is this "daylight"? Well, it's a substitute. I tend to see daylight as being a bit more blue than the purer white that seems to come from these LEDs, but there's no question that they are much better for colour and detail work than most lights in our homes.If her ladyship flags any shortcomings with this light I will certainly update this review because that's what I do, but my feeling is that this will fix the problems involved in detail work and with colour-matching of threads and fabrics.

Got this as I sew at night and struggled with other lamps but this one is fantastic, high brightness and excellent for close work. Very happy, only comment, wish controls were on the base instead of on ends of lights, just my preference
