Beam Me Up
I know it sounds weird, but I'm in love with a floor lamp! I earn my living working on my computer and the Verilux is perfect for illuminating those annoying little dark areas in my workspace. I've owned one for almost two years now. and its flexibility is amazing. I can adjust the light intensity, the height, and the direction of its perfect illumination to light up my bookcase, a printed document on my desk,, or the little tabs in my file drawer with a twist of my wrist.  I give it. four-and a half stars and will go to five if they have eliminated concerns about the longevity of the ballast. As it is, it's far and away the best lamp for the money. (And it looks like it came from the Starship Enterprise!)
