PHIVELK-2 Architect Desk Lamp with Metal Swing Arm, Dimmable Workbench Lamp (4 Lighting Modes, 6 Brightness Levels), Eye-Caring Architect Task Table Light, Clamp on Desk Light for Office, Drawing

My review below was posted on 10.2.2017, and was noted as a 4 star. Phive saw it and contacted me on 10.3 to promptly rectify the problem with a very kind and generous solution. I read several months ago that Phive's customer service was excellent, which they clearly proved yesterday. Their customer service is my reason for now giving this lamp and Phive a 5 star rating. I definitely recommend others consider Phive and their lighting products.Thank you.Nice lamp with good lighting and quality. The soft white mode is a too yellow for me, and the next mode is too white for soft white. The only concern - the small cable from the base to the lamp for height control arrived "frayed" at the middle joint, with 3-4 strands of the cable sticking out, which I found when a couple of the strands stuck into my finger, when setting up the lamp. I cut the strands off leaving only a little now sticking up (photo). Hopefully, that cable won't break the rest of the way through anytime soon. The Phive CL-1 I bought a few months ago, I think I like better because it cost less and has less bells and whistles.Thank you.

I wanted to replace a VERY OLD (from the 1960's!!!) Luxo Architect's Task Desk Lamp that has two 15" fluorescents with a new light-weight LED lamp. I just felt it was about time :-) -- even though the old lamp STILL works just fine. Considering the four different lighting temperatures, sliding touch brightness control, and full articulation of the arm and head, with a bit of research I decided on the PHIVE. I really like this lamp now that I've been using it for a few weeks. Even though the exposed part of the lamp head is only about 7-1/2" long (compared to the 15" fluorescents), the new LED technology still throws off a comparable amount of light over the same area. I'm not having any trouble with the arms staying in whatever position I place them, and although it has been mentioned by some that the head cannot be twisted to throw light straight up toward the ceiling, I discovered that with some creative positioning of the arms and head, it is possible to accomplish that goal (I used to shine the old Luxo up to the ceiling to get a bounce effect). I also like that there is a master on/off switch on the power cable. The fact that the on/off and mode touch controls stay blue-lit whenever power is supplied to the lamp doesn't bother me. I only have two negative comments. The first is that there is a little bit of jiggle of the lamp post in the table bracket, even though there are some rubber grommets around the shaft to keep it snug. Second, and I didn't notice it until a few days had gone by, but the wiring cable feeding into the lamp head has a slight "slit" on it (and a tiny mark of wear next to it) (see photo, marked in red). There don't appear to be any wires exposed, at least for now, but I don't know how long that will last -- I suppose it depends on how many times the cable is flexed back and forth, back and forth, until that slit starts to possibly get bigger. In most cases, I keep the lamp head pretty much where it is anyway, or I move it only a slight amount to adjust where I want to throw the light. Regardless of those two items, I'm very pleased with this LED task lamp.

Been using it for a year now. Surprisingly good. It feels sturdy and the control is good. Light is good. For a desk lamp, quit bright enough. The only minor complaint would be that the touch control is a bit too sensitive. When turning it on, my hand accidentally touches the brightness control also. But it's quick and easy to change. Just a minor gripe. Will probably buy this again, but hoping this lamp to last quite a few years.

Nice bright lamp with many options. A bit overpriced... the arms look pretty and all, but the base hinge isn't 100% solid and seems to wobble a bit. It comes with a couple of allen wrenches to use to tighten the hinges to keep the thing in place... which is nice as i used them twice already. The base hinge screw is really tight, it still wobbles in the stand... somehow the base hinge seems to loosen over time... will see how well this works is long run. Should be good as long as it doesn't need to be moved much. Giving 3 stars because the joints seem flimsy and tricky to maneuver... not what I expect for a product in this price range.Updating my review from 3 to 5 stars... Phive customer support is excellent addressed part of my concern. The light itself is amazing, but I still feel the joints need to be better done. Regardless, Phive stands by their products and provide great support!

I tried about 5 of these architect lamps, unintentionally working up to this price point along the way. Each of the others had an issue, like poor design or construction, clunky buttons, limited range of positions etc. This lamp is the most attractive, most intuitive and most adjustable than any of the other lamps. The blue lights are a tad bright, but it has a secondary power switch located on the cable so you can fully power them off.

This product is very hard to adjust and is not very stable. Would not buy again.

Lamp exceeded expectations. Not crazy expensive but not cheap either. Beautifully designed and well produced - the different light types are great if fairly easy to maneuver in to position. Thought it was going to be larger but its not too big for what i wanted:

The electronics in this lamp failed from static electricity within 4 months of getting it. The replacement did the same, and the manufacturer won’t even provide parts for a repair. So I have a useless $100 lamp. This product represents everything that is wrong with modern manufacturing.
