GERGO Floor Lamp, Remote Control with 4 Color Temperatures, LED Torchiere Floor Lamp with Adjustable Reading Lamp for Bedroom, Standing Lamps for Living Room, Bulb Included (Brushed Nickel)

I just received and assembled this lamp. It’s worth a review. Unless it quits working, it’s a steal for the discounted price (I paid forty) compared to site and big box competitors— if it meets your needs. There are a few things that are useful to know about it. This lamp comes with the two ‘smart’ bulbs and the AA batteries for the remote all in the box (worth the price right there). It’s very well packaged for preventing scratches and breakage. All packing materials are easily recycled except the styrofoam. Save yourself a little frustration and grab a pair of scissors before you start to remove all the plastic wraps on the tubes (they don’t tear easily or slide off). Straighten out the twists and kinks in the cord from the top down before you start. All threads are well drilled and smoothly assembled. Follow the order of the assembly on the diagram in the instructions and it goes together from box to bulbs in under 10 minutes. The only slight change I’d suggest is to put the whole stem of the lamp together before attaching it to the base. If you’ve never assembled one of these lamps, it requires gently pulling a bit of extra cord out through the bottom of the tube as you screw together each higher section of tube. That’s much harder if it’s already attached to the base. One more tip - oddly, the two plastic nuts that hold the hoods onto the respective lamps are not interchangeable. So if you have trouble seating/threading one of the nuts (as I did), try using the other one - both of mine fit perfectly once I did that. The base is very heavy and sturdy. The matte black finish is a nice slightly textured powdercoat. No defects or scratches anywhere in the finish. The hoods are cheap plastic as you would expect at this price. They’re stark white, translucent but you cannot see through them without the bulb turned on. All the parts are sturdy and surprisingly well made. When the small side lamp is bent down parallel to the floor, the bulb will show a bit beneath the edge of the hood, if that bothers you. About the functionality — There are two separate sets of buttons on the remote, one set for each lamp on the fixture. The dimming feature only works (1) through the remote *and* (2) if you’re using ‘smart’ bulbs. There are manual switches on each of the two lamps but they only turn on and off, no dimming capability (and btw they both need to be manually switched ‘on’ before you use the remote for the first time). You can also use the lamps with any regular bulb — but a regular bulb will not connect to the remote and therefore the lamps will not have a dimmer function. I’ve read other reviewers having trouble getting replacement bulbs from the manufacturer. I haven’t tried this, but it seems possible that any brand of ‘smart’ bulb (from a big box store or here on AMZN) might work — there are directions in the instruction pamphlet for the (simple) required steps to sync a new bulb to the remote. The included bulbs are marked as 3000K to 6000K. Kelvins refer to the color temperature — oversimplified, 2700K-3000K is the ‘warm’ light of an incandescent light bulb and higher kelvins translate to ‘colder’ light quality (like hospitals and daylight). So you could expect that the light from these bulbs gets warmer as you dim it down. However, in these lamps the light is not ‘warmer’ at the lowest dimmed setting, just less light emitted. The bulb ‘color temperature’ and the bulb ‘brightness’ are controlled by two separate sets of buttons on the remote — which is a nice feature! Bright/dim is controlled by the sunburst icons. Color temperature is controlled by the ‘CCT’ buttons (standing for Change Color Temperature?). On the coolest and brightest settings, these bulbs emit very bright, stark ‘white’ light (no yellow tint), especially through the white hoods. This is perfect for our intended use in the basement laundry room. You can long-press the CCT button to fine tune the color temperature for other needs/settings and then also separately dim/brighten the strength of the light. I liked the lamp so much I borrowed it for my office for some extra light in there last night, on warmer settings. Only time will tell about longevity and durability, and I can’t speak to customer service in the event of an issue. A PB or RH lamp this is not. But on Day 1 it’s great for the price and our needs.

These lamps are great for every room. The fit nicely in a corner or between a chair and a table. The remote control is a bonus for turning the lighting up and down as needed for reading, relaxing or watching T.V. These lamps have the ability to be changed to blue lighting for softer on the eyes. I have one in every room.

Absolutely love the dimming options. Each lamp head dims independently. Very convenient. Gooseneck is great for reading. Remote makes it extra convenient. Also, the height is very nice. A lot of floor lamps are short. I HATE that. This one is tall.

Decent light for the money. The base is sturdy and put together easy. My only dislike is the lenses are cheap plastic. I didn’t see they were plastic in the description. The remote is very handy and simple to use. If you don’t mind the plastic lenses, I would recommend this lamp.

The LED lighting is bright enough to light up my entire living space without any harsh glares, and it’s energy-efficient too. The remote works from across the room, and the lamp’s stability means I never worry about it tipping over, even with kids or pets around.

Love the lamp! Sturdy, and the remote control is very handy. Directions for putting it together could be better.

I really like this lamp. The remote is so convenient to have and you can adjust the brightness of each light.

This was beautiful and great for my elderly mother who has trouble getting around and lights up her space so well!

Good
