It was wonderful while it lasted, but about 2 years after purchase, it began to flicker. Annoying, but you could still read by it.
But it failed altogether last week, would come on, then go out within a minute. 
Must be the bulb, as the rest of the light is extremely simple. So we must get a replacement bulb. For this amount of $, it should certainly last more than 2 years. Only on about half hour a day. My previous wall mounted reading lamp lasted 65 years!  It belonged to my dad. My husband has replaced the wire and thats all.  
OK, now I must call this company and get the ID of that faulty bulb and get another one. By the way, there is no ID on the lamp at all as for manufacturer, and we tossed the paperwork.
