Great Lamp with One Problem.
This is a great lamp except for the fact that I have had two within the year and both stopped working, the second was a replacement for the first.  The first was within the warranty, the second was out of warranty by less than two months.  The Verilux Company is very generous in replacing the lamp, even the one where the year warranty was no longer valid.  The problem is that you have to send them back with a check for $9.95.  You have to find a box to fit them, take the lamp apart, pack it, and mail it back or get a mailing place to do it.  The first one I returned  even though I found that mailing cost plus box cost plus $9.95  came to almost as much as the lamp does new.  I am not returning the second.  I will  throw it out and buy a cheaper but similar lamp.  I have one of these already and it seems to work on and on.  The problem with the Verilux is probably the ballast.  In some of these type lamps it can be replaced, but not in the Verilux model.
