Questions and Answers for a Dramatic, Bright Lamp
We had many questions about this lamp, and knowing all the details would have helped us more easily make a more informed decision.
1 - It is NOT top-heavy. This base is stable, the arms and lamps are very light. Almost all the 90 lb weight is in the base. Our grandchildren are never likely to knock it over.
2 - This is a BRIGHT light source - each of the 5 lamps is like a 75 watt bulb. The quality of the light is more like sunlight than warm light, but it is great for reading and cheering up our living room. It is NOT to be used with a dimmer. Also, don't worry about replacement bulbs. If and when one of the 5 lamps goes out, the entire unit will have to be replaced.
3 - The switch has 4 settings: 2 lamps (#2 and #4), 3 lamps (#1, #3, and #5), 5 lamps, and off. Although the arms of the lamps can be generously repositioned, two or the lamps hang slightly lower than the other three.
4 - This overall fixture is TALL. The tips of the arms from which the lamps are gently suspended are 7'4" above the floor. At first it seemed too big with our 8' ceilings, but it now seems part of the wall and ceiling. Plan carefully for placement if you also have recessed ceiling lights.
5 - The lamp is beautifully designed, and is appreciated even by people who first think it looks like a spider.
6 - Assembly is not difficult, but it takes a while. And once it is assembled, it takes two people to move it through a doorway to another room (one strong person to carry the base, and another person to corral the delicate lamps). Our lamp arrived without any damage, but the styrofoam is a nightmare. It is the kind that tiny pieces get all over the place and cling by static electricity to parts of the lamp until you track them all down.
7 - If you plan for this to be a focus of your room, it will not disappoint!
