Tools and Hardware Reviews of Normande Desk Lamp, Brushed Steel (Not CA Compliant)
Customer Review: Beautiful and elegant -- but with one fatal flaw.
Summary: 3 Stars
I tried to overcome the negative comments about this lamp falling down from its base pivot hinge -- smugly thinking that some people must really hate screwdrivers -- and are a tad lazy. So I bought this lamp anyway in late March 2009. Boy, were they right. I WAS WRONG. (And trust me, I'm good with my hands when it comes to basic office furniture.)
Yeah, the lamp arm fell down a few times -- but a good tighten with a screwdriver fixed it immediately. Then it happened again -- and again -- and again. Full disclosure: I like to pivot my desk lamp in different directions from time to time, depending upon what I'm working on. Sometimes I like to bounce the light off a wall to get a more even cast. I consider this normal use; not rough handling. Any desk lamp equipped with joints/hinges MUST be able to pivot in almost every direction without falling. I use compact fluorescents, so the weight of the bulb is NOT the problem. And then it happened. The lamp fell down again yesterday -- and no amount of tightening would bring it upright again.
I figured out the problem. The two rubber washers at the base pivot hinge -- can only take so much tightening -- before they fail completely within 60-90 days of normal use.
Hence despite glowing reviews elsewhere, keep the box. The warranty is good for two years. Better yet, don't buy this at all until Normande comes up with a better base pivot hinge -- or restricts adjustment settings to just the lamp's head, not the lamp's arm.
This is a FATAL engineering flaw. I can't believe Normande would release such a elegant looking lamp as this -- without first putting it through a 24-hour motion test. What a hassle.
