Didn't even last 18 months
Purchased this lamp here on Amazon, in late October 2014. Yesterday it just stopped working. Tried a new bulb in it and got nothing. Tried the old bulb in another lamp purchased at the same time that IS still working, and the bulb is fine. So it's the lamp that has died. I really resent paying almost $100 for a lamp that didn't even last 18 months. I'm a graphic artist and sometimes need full spectrum light in my home office to view printed materials, so I can get the colors right. While it worked, I thought it was great and perfect for that purpose. But this thing wasn't even used every day, nor for long periods of time. I'd guess that it got about 2 hours of use per week, on average. So 156 hours of total use, over the course of 17 months. It's definitely not worth $100 for 156 hours.
