Brightech Sky Flux - The Very Bright LED Torchiere Floor Lamp for Your Living Room and Office - Halogen Lamp Alternative with 3 Light Options Including Daylight - Dimmable Modern Uplighter - Bronze

Es practica y funcional. Los materiales de buena calidad.

El diseño y la luminosidad son excelente, pero el sistema de conexión entre el módulo de la lámpara y la barra que une con la base es extrañamente muy inestable y tiende a desconectarse casi con cualquier movimiento (como mover la lámpara para la limpieza cotidiana), lo que obliga a realizar aburridos y complicados procesos de desarmado y reconexión que, por la propia naturaleza inestable del conector, llevan a varios intentos frustrados antes de lograr que todo quede nuevamente en funcionamiento. Si tuviera un conector de "snap" y fijar sería perfecta

Amé esta lámpara!!! El disco que da la luz es ligeramente más grande de lo que esperaba (en las fotos se aprecia más chico) y da muy buena luz. Excelente porque además es “dimmable” y puedes cambiar el color de la luz entre 3,000, 4000 o 5000 kelvin (de luz amarilla a luz blanca). Le pongo 4 estrellas por una cuestión del diseño ya que cuando la armas debes enroscarla lo que hace que el cable que va por dentro también de muchas vueltas lo que puede causar un falso y no prender (nos pasó a nosotros, solo desarmamos esa parte y despacio enroscamos).

Very bright light. I thought I would use the three color temperatures more, but find myself using the 3,000k (warmer) color most of the time. The description does not mention lumens (brightness) but I can tell you that this light will light up a small room. I was very impressed with how much light it produced. I have it in my 12x12 office with a high ceiling that slants down to about 6' at the low end and 20+ feet at the high end. The lamp is positioned at about the 7' part of the ceiling so it does reflect. On high it fills the entire room. If you hold your finger on the on/off button, the light will dim from high to low in a smooth transition (unlike the Sky model that has 3 dimmer settings). Each time you tap the on/off it will rotate through the three temperatures starting at the 3,000k (warm) then to 4,000k, then 5,000k (white). The 5,000k is the whitest and probably a little brighter that the other 2 color temps. To turn the light on, you put your finger on the on/off area on the pole. To turn it off, you have to cycle through the other colors. So if, like me, you have it on the first temp. of 3000k, you have to tap it 3 times to turn it off... one tap to 4000k, another tap to 5,000k and a third tap to turn off. This is a little annoying because sometimes if your finger doesn't hit the switch just right, you have to repeat the tap. I wish it somehow would remember the last setting and when turned back on would go to the last setting. The quality is decent and it is fairly attractive in a plain sort of way. The pole is about 3/4" diameter, which is pretty thin but gives it a modern look. I got the brushed nickel finish which looks nice, however, the one section where the on/off switch is located (middle of 3 sections) is slightly darker than the other 2 sections. Not the end of the world, but would've been nice to have them all the same. The light itself does not put out heat, but the on/off area gets pretty warm. I hope that is normal and not a flaw or fire hazard. The top can tilt. I keep mine straight. When I tried tilting it, it made the lamp look odd. The bottom wire comes out of the bottom section at the base. My previous torch lamp it came out of the bottom of the base. Coming out above the base isn't quite as clean looking because you always have a wire showing on top of the base. Not a big deal, but coming out of the base would look better. I'm a graphic designer and thought being able to use different light temperatures may help when looking at colors (colors look different in different light temperatures). But I've found it isn't that big of a deal. I think I would rather have a 3,000k lamp that was dimmable and able to be turned on by a light switch. You can not plug this into a light switch receptacle and flick the light switch and have this lamp go on. An ideal lamp would be able to switch on and off by a wall light switch. I also looked at the Sky version of this lamp - which is one temperature - I think it is 4000k and has 3 dimming settings. This one was a little less expensive when I bought it and has infinite dimming setting. Bottom line: I like this lamp, it has some nice features. It is very bright. If it could turn on by a light switch I would buy one or two more for other rooms in the house. The 3 color temps are nice but I doubt you will really use them. Knocked off a star because of the awkward way of turning this lamp on and off and not remembering the last setting.

We bought several of these lamps for our living room and one for a bedroom. Because they were for the whole room we used wireless switches to control them all from two locations. We had one more lamp in another room on its own switch. When used with the switches, as we were, they always defaulted to warm white. If the lamp was used with its own on off control it will return to the last temperature setting. So when the lamp looses power it will always default to warm white when it is turned on. This was something we had not anticipated when purchasing as we desired cool white to match the temperature for consistency with the rest of the house. After a couple months we noticed some issues with the lamps. Some of the LEDs started dying or flickering. I assumed it might have been the wireless switch so immediately took the bedroom lamp off its switch before it started showing issues. The living room lights continued to deteriorate as time progressed and eventually every single lamp in the living room failed completely. Though it took longer, even the one lamp which was taking off its switch began suffering similar issues and continued to fail until it too no longer worked. Granted that last lamp lasted longer than those in the living room so it is possible the initial usage of the switch may have shortened the life of the lamp. All of those floor lamps died within one year of owning them. These floor lights lights are brighter, when using the combination of warm and cold white simultaneously, which was a nice feature. If you buy this light, I advise angling the head toward the wall so you get a defused light and don’t place at the bottom of the stairs as it will shine right into your eyes when you walk down them. The temperature control and dimming features were nice. Though it would be better if the lamp was able to retain the setting it was last at when it is not connected to power. We have another floor lamp by the same company. This one is a single curved arc LED lamp and we have had NO issues in more than 5 years. It doesn’t have as many options and its controller is a physical sliding dimmer on the power brick so has none of the issues when using it on a switched circuit. This to say the company is able to make a good product, just this floor lamp did not meet the needs we had nor did the lamp seem to last as
