Brightech Sky Flux Dimmable LED Floor Lamp – Super Bright Floor Lamp for Living Room and Offices – Torchiere Standing Lamp with 3 Light Options, Tall Lamp for Bedroom Reading and More - Bronze

Good modern replacement for an ancient 300-watt incandescent that was also a space heater, like it or not. The old one buzzed annoyingly at the dimmer setting we preferred; this one is perfectly quiet and no touchable surface is more than warm to the touch.On the other hand, this one is not designed to dim to extinguished - it is possible, but apparently not at this price point.Ours is placed in a corner not terribly convenient to reach. It can be turned on by a wall switch that is accessible, but if a variation with a remote control had been available we would have chosen it.This comes with a color-selection control, as do many rivals. If color is controlled by mixing two banks of LEDs, I'd prefer forgoing the color changing capability and having a brighter one-color lamp.

After 3 1/2 years, the lamp started flashing, like a strobe, when first turned on. I can tap the switch to make light shine normally. But the strobe effect is back on when I switch light settings.

I've got four Brightech floor lamps that all look pretty much the same but have different types of switches (continuous dimmer vs. three-step dimmer vs. on/off) and finishes (black, silver, white). I use all but one of them daily, and they've collectively been great, which is why I keep buying them. (Well, that and the fact that my apartment has lousy lighting.)This one, though, which is arguably the fanciest, was acting out for a couple of weeks—not always turning on when I tapped the switch, and sometimes going into what I call Tantrum Mode, where it'd be just barely lit for hours and then might pop up to full brightness when I was nowhere near it. Whee! I had begun bracing myself for having to beg for support, as of course it's almost a year out of warranty.So I want to point out: If this happens to you, follow the troubleshooting steps on Brightech's website! These are:“1. Try plugging your lamp into another outlet. When doing so, tap the power button just once and wait a few minutes, the LED capacitor may need time to warm up.2. If you have another lamp from Brightech with the same adapter, try using that adapter with the non-working lamp to see if that helps.3. Try disassembling and reassembling it.”I'd already tried steps 1 and 2 (if #2 fixes it, note that you can find third-party adapters on Amazon for about $10; this one worked for my oldest lamp: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W63LWW6), but I hadn't thought of number 3, and that's what did the trick. It's back! It's happy! It's like a whole new lamp!Is it a design flaw that the connections inside the lamp can get out of whack while it's doing nothing but just standing there? Maybe, but I wish everything in my apartment were so easy to fix.I'd still recommend the Sky family of lamps to a friend, and if one of my four finally goes kaput, I'll probably replace it with another one of the same.

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’ve had the lamp for just over a year. It’s bright and worked fine until just this past week when the dimmer switch came loose.The lamp didn’t fall, and no one recalls bumping or hitting the lamp accidentally. The plastic of the switch is quite thin, as you can see in the photo.When I push the switch back into place I can’t turn the lamp on. Via trial and error, with the switch hanging by its wire, I can get the lamp to turn back on.Since it’s an oddball touch-sensitive switch the lamp is now unsafe and unfixable.Also, the lamp has never stood straight up. The slight tilt isn’t a problem for lighting a room, but it's a bit disappointing.I’m tempted to give only two stars, but we generally liked the lamp while it worked properly. Too bad it didn’t last.
