I love my touch lamp - FINALLY

Review by matthew ward, 2010-08-20

I finally love my lamp after one return and a little tinkering. I read ALL of the reviews on this one, seeing the range of 5 stars to 1 star and couldn't quite figure it out. Some were unequivocal praises; others were equally emphatic in their disappointment. I figured: It must be a Quality Assurance issue - with about 10% or so defective product. So I played the odds and ordered one. SIGH - I ended up with virtually ALL of the problems described:

The shade came cracked. It wasn't exceedingly Obvious, so I tried it out.

Bzzt. It fried the first light bulb, and apparently the touch circuit. Amazon was GREAT at taking the return and sending me a replacement (5 stars for Amazon's service!).

The new one arrived; no cracked glass shade, but no touch feature! Just the on-the-cord switch.

Rather than admit defeat, I assumed that the touch circuit was defective. Rather than deal with Yet Another Return, I decided to order a new touch circuit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BQWVE6 from Amazon.

When i opened up the bottom of the lamp: no touch circuit to replace at all!

Oh well ... the Touch Lamp Kit came with detailed instructions and parts. The only thing I would suggest is having along with you some way of identifying which power cord wire goes to which power cord "blade" - the wide and narrow polarity blades on the end of the mains power cord; just a simple continuity tester. I don't KNOW that it makes a difference, but the instructions have you make one connexion to the "live" wire (the narrow blade) and another connexion to the "neutral" wire (the wide blade). I did that. Voilà!

Now i love my touch lamp!

Nice lamp, BUT..... its not a touch lamp.

Review by Nicole Herman, 2010-08-10

I read most of the 81 reviews before ordering two of these lamps for my bedroom as I have been looking for something stylish and contemporary and not overly expensive. I was excited when I found these lamps as I really thought that this was it!!! Well, I was disappointed when they arrived today for various reasons.
1. They are not touch lamps. The invoice clearly states 'Non Touch'. This was not indicated at the point of purchase, or when order was processed and shipped.
2. They are considerably bigger than the picture respresents.
3. One of the lamps has a 3 pronged crack in the shade, but its not actually broken, its just a crack inside the glass. Wasn't this inspected before shipping? Another reviewer mentioned receiving a lamp like this, so I am guessing that these 'defective' ones are still shipped instead of being returned to the manufacturer as damaged.
All of that said, they do look nice on my bedside tables so I am not returning them, partly because I cannot be bothered with all the hassle. I live in the Caribbean, so to go through the returns process will probably cost me more than I shelled out for them in the first place.

Not A Touch Lamp

Review by J. Jefferson, 2010-07-01

Despite the description, this is NOT a touch lamp. There is a switch and it offers only one level of brightness.

almost exactly what i wanted

Review by anwnc, 2010-06-24

The lamp is a perfect match to the one I bought in Target several years ago. The only thing that is different is that it is not a touch lamp like the original one. other than that, shipping was fast, the price was fair, and the lamp works great and looks great!

Touch sensor does not work want to return

Review by A. Coronado, 2010-05-25

I ordered this to match the one I bought in the target store in Houston, Tx to put on my night stand. And the whole idea and purpose for me searching online for the matching pair was to have a touch sensor lamp. In the description it indicates that it is a touch and on/off switch but the touch does not work so I want to return it for the correct item as described. I want it to be touch sensor and so hopefully I can get someone to respond to me regarding my issue. Not a happy customer.
