KOSHER LAMPmax - Blue

Nice bright white light. Made well. A lot more expensive then it used to be.

I can read at night without bothering my husband. I can control the amount of light I want/need and just turn the top and the light is totally off without using electricity to turn it off or on. I have one in every room of my home including the bathrooms. This particular one was a gift for a family where I was staying at. I give these as shower and/or wedding gifts all the time.

This Kosher Lamp is the perfect addition to our guest room.

I like this lamp. It's a stupid-simple idea hearkening back to the old kerosene lamps, but it's really a nice thing for us shabbos-observant folk. I've found it useful on many occasions already, because I don't have to worry about setting timers exactly for when people are going to go to sleep. This is nice, for example, if you have a guest sleeping over, and you'd like them to be able to "turn off" the light according to their own sleep time, and not plunge them into darkness in a strange environment. (You may still want to set a late-timer just to save electricity, so the lamp does not burn the whole night.)My problem is that the light is fairly minimal, and the angle is *very poor* for reading. Generally, for reading, you want the light shining *down* on the page. However, this lamp is like having a bare bulb sitting right on the table next to the book. The angle of the light is wrong, and you are constantly distracted by the bright light inches from your eyes. So, it's really pretty bad for reading. I hope the company can address this in another version, and change the angle of the light projected.

The color was perfect. Easy to set up and use. The price is a bit high for what you get, but all the Shabbat lamps are similarly priced

My son is Orthodox & wanted a small lamp for Shabbos that he didnt need a timer for. This is perfect for his bedroom. It gives off enough light for him to see what he is doing, to read & anything else he wants to do. He has a roommate too who is religious & they share the same bedroom. It gives off enough light for both of themWhen he wants darkness, he just revolves the outer layer to cover the light. There is nothing to turn off & it's great for Shabbos & Yom Tov.

This cleverly designed lamp is a significant improvement over the previous version. It is larger but does not occupy much more space on your night table. It will produce more light, how much depends on the bulb size selected. The shade provides a pleasant, diffuse light. You can easily adjust the lamp shade to vary the level of illumination you desire from full to none without touching the switch which now has been replaced with a more modern, easy-to-use type (for use on weekdays). There is now a wider range of colors available to help you match a variety of room decors. One caveat as before, you may want to consult with your religious-law advisor as to its suitability for your intended use. I think the modest increase in price is reasonable considering the many new and improved features that have been introduced in the present version.

These are great for Shabbos and just generally as a nightlight.... We needed nightlights once our newborn arrived so that we could do diaper changes in the middle of the night without having to wake the baby. These were great because we could use on weekday and then also on Shabbos without having to switch between different types. Easy to use and manuever to control the amount of light that you get. Comes in different color options if you care (we just chose the redwood one because it was a few $s cheaper and the color was actually surprisingly nice -- it looks tacky on the site but the color in reality was pretty chic). Very pleased with this purchase, got two for different rooms.
