Expensive and short lived!
I purchased this lamp 3 1/2 years ago for $129.95 and expected it to far outlast its two year warranty. Most of us assume that when we spend $100.00+ for a desk lamp it will last more than a couple of years but alas that was not my experience with this lamp. It just died, won't go on, period. Unfortunately it is out of warranty and after calling its manufacturer, Full Spectrum Solutions, I was informed that they have no viable solutions for me so I now have a very expensive door stop. So consider very carefully when you plop down $100.00 for this lamp or $170.00 for its 72 watt sibling if you would still make the purchase knowing that this lamp may only last 3-4 years at best. About 10 years ago I bought 3 desk lamps from Verilux (sold here on Amazon) and guess what - they all still work perfectly and cost half as much as this lamp. When it worked it was very bright and I found that I rarely if ever used the dimmer function. I was not much brighter than the Verilux however and...

Your eyes will thank you!
I upgraded from the Verilux lamp, which also made me very happy, after doing careful research. The light is very pleasant, soothing and it never flickers! Then something terrible happened: it stopped working... I could have chosen to use this lamp as an expensive doorstop, but I remembered it came with a solid warranty. I took the bold step to call the 800 customer service number. Wait time was 30 seconds if you can shoulder that. I was immediately connected to a knowledgeable and helpful rep. She correctly diagnosed my bulb was fine (it was still under warranty anyway) and sent me free of charge the "ballast" a rather complex part which is located at the base. It arrived much faster that I had expected. All it took was a screwdriver to open the base and replace the part, which is about how difficult as replacing batteries. That lamp is fantastic and worth every penny. For clarity's sake, my lamp is slightly different. It has the same wattage (42W) but is more like a desk lamp (that's...
Lighting Fixture fails before light bulb
Like another reviewer, I found the floor lamp version of the 42watt light stopped operating before the bulb failed.
When it failed, since it might have been the bulb, I contacted BlueMax which now seems to be operating under the name Full Spectrum Solutions. BlueMax has a "live chat" service -- but no one responds when you try to access it. BlueMax promises a quick response to requests for customer service, but after a week, no response at all. I was forced to order a new bulb ($40+) to find out if the lamp or the bulb had failed. It was the lamp. Now I can pay to ship the bulb back if Full Spectrum will accept it -- and pay for shipping ($11+ for a package weighing ounces) and for shipping it back. Not a product I would buy again.
Beyond that, it does give very bright and good light. The gooseneck is rather inflexible on the floor lamp and the unit is poorly balanced (the base is too light and/or too small to support the long lamp), so it is in constant danger...
