Nice lamp, hard to adjust
I'm pleased with the construction quality, light level and color temperature of this light, but the adjustability needs some work.  The cord that goes from the head down the tube and to the outlet is very heavy ... a good thing, from a durability standpoint... but it makes height adjustment nearly impossible.  You are supposed to be able to loosen the knurled lock ring and just raise or lower the upper arm, but it doesn't work out that way.  You can raise it fine (with some effort, since the cord inside the tube provides a lot of resistance), but getting it down again is impossible. There are only two ways I've found to do it... first way is to stand on the cord with one foot and push the base away with the other foot as you lower the arm... this will pull the cord out as the arm lowers.  Second way is to lay the lamp down on it's side on the floor and tug on the cord as you slide the upper arm back into the tube.  Either way, advertising this lamp as &#34;height adjustable&#34; is a bit of a stretch... it's more like a &#34;set it once then leave it alone&#34; type of thing.
