Brightech Bruce LED Desk Lamp - Bedside Reading Table Lamp with Unique Cement Base, Modern Dimmable Nightstand Light for Bedrooms, College Dorms, Offices - Tinted Glass Lamp Shade

It's a great lamp that looks more beautiful in person

I honestly can't believe that I found a lamp like this on Amazon. I've had very little success with "pricier" lamps on AZ (pricier being relative to other lamps on Amazon). I've had more success with cheaper, minimalist, functional lamps from AZ and better success with decor-oriented lamps from pricier retailers.As this was on Vine, I took a gamble. I wasn't hopeful, as I'd ordered another "fancier" lamp from the Vine Program that was pretty bad. This one took longer to ship, but it was worth the wait. It looks like and is constructed similarly to higher-end lamps from high-end retailers. Lamps often go for a couple hundred dollars or more, whereas this one is listed (at the time of writing) at $99.99.This lamp is a statement piece with a sturdy, solid, and heavy cement base that's lightly coated/finished in black, and a fantastic smoky gray glass dome that is rippled and has some tiny bubbles here and there from the glassblowing process. The glass is suitably thick but not too heavy. It's thick enough not to be fragile, but I wouldn't drop it on a hard surface. That said, the base is heavy enough and the shape is such that I don't worry about this lamp tipping over.The cord is adequately long, and coated in fabric. The brightness/power rotary dial is simple and functional, and pretty big! It reminds me of dials on vintage lamps.The lamp was packed as securely as Fort Knox, so unpacking took the longest time during assembly (and was only 5-10 minutes). Once unpacked, assembly of the lamp itself was less than two minutes. Screw in the bulb, screw on the glass dome, plug in the lamp, and turn it on.It's worth reading the description in detail because this is an ambient, soft-glowing lamp. The smoky glass dome " dampens" (they use the word "dissipates") the adjustable brightness. This is not a "make the room bright" or "read using this lamp with the rest of the lights off." It's perfect for what I need - I keep it on 24/7 to provide some supporting light during the day, and give enough light to navigate at night.We keep the lamp close to a TV, and given the glass domes color and construction this lamp has no glare or visual spots that hurt the picture or anyones' eyes.The box calls this a "desk lamp" but, like the description and title on the product page infer, it looks good anywhere. It's big enough for side tables, buffets/credenzas, bookshelves, etc.Any "cons" or negatives of this lamp are minor. The one that comes to mind is that both the base and the dome are easy to smudge/mark, even with squeaky clean hands. They will pick up finger smudges very easily. That said, they are easy to clean as well. So once the lamp is set in place, it's easy to clean and requires minimal/no touching other than dusting (as the power dial is far enough away from the lamp). You'll also need to pull the stickers off the bulb, as the way the dome is shaped the bulb's base is always visible.This specific lamp is wonderful, and I will look more at Brightech for table lamps in the future. I'm not sure about Brightech's floor lamps, some of which get very mixed reviews, but the table lamps seem to be consistently positive.

Recently, I decided my home office needed a bit of a makeover, and that's when I came across this rugged yet elegant desk lamp. The unique black cement base really attracted me as I knew it would add an industrial touch to the space. When it finally arrived, I was impressed with how easy it was to set up. A few twists and turns and the lamp was ready to light up my desk.The first time I turned it on, the warm, inviting glow instantly finished off the cozy vibe I was aiming for in my office. The tinted glass dome does an excellent job of diffusing the light, eliminating any glare that could distract me while I work. It's hard to describe how a lamp can be both calming and invigorating, but this one somehow manages to pull it off.What really stands out is its balance between functionality and design. Despite its rugged cement base, the lamp brings an understated elegance to the room. It's been a conversation starter on more than one video call, with colleagues curious about its unique design. Plus, its compact size makes it versatile enough for different settings; I've already moved it a couple of times between my desk and the side table beside the sofa.A bonus is the energy-efficient LED bulb it uses. Knowing I won’t have to replace it for possibly two decades gives me one less thing to worry about, and the soft white light is far superior to what’s usually offered by other bulbs. This lamp has exceeded my expectations and it's hard to imagine my office without its new signature piece. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to enhance their space with both style and practicality!

I was looking for a new lamp for my desk. I have a black adjustable height desk, and am trying to keep things pretty similar with the all-black look....when I came across this lamp - I knew it was the one.As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a good sized lamp, which is a good thing. The glass shade is beautiful, the base is simple and heavy, and it gives off either a super dim light or a brighter light when full turned up. The shade make the light case a cool effect on the walls too. I love it!But, one thing I have noticed is that on my desk, since its a standing desk, it can have a slight wiggle when I type - nothing major at all - it's common with all standing desks. But it's just enough for the glass shade to rattle against the base. I've tried adjusting it, making sure it's tight, etc. But that rattle will still pop up. I am now thinking about something that I can put in that small gap to help isolate the glass shade a bit more - maybe something Brightech should take into consideration. I hate deducting a star as this is a beautiful, unique, and very well made lamp - but I could see this being an issue for other people if its on an end table or nightstand - and just the basic movement when you walk by.I still highly recommend this stunning lamp!
