Customer Reviews of Verilux Original Natural Spectrum Shop Light, Grand-Prix Yellow and BlackCustomer Review: Nice idea -- poor execution Summary: 2 Stars
The Verilux Shop Light seems like a great idea -- bright, natural light for detailed shop work. The problem is that the clamp is cheap plastic and is not made right to mount on a vertical surface. Also, if you happen to hit the wire cage with something, the bulb is so delicate, it will stop working. If you do things like load shotgun shells or do crafting, it probably is OK, but for someone who REALLY uses it in a shop, you'll find it just isn't rugged enough.
Customer Review: Looks great, works great...if you dont need a bright light! Summary: 1 Stars
PROS: Looks very cool, different mounting options, quite bendy yet sturdy, white light
CONS: VERY DIM: see customer photos for a side by side comparison of this lamp less than a foot from an object in ambient room lighting. And yes, the lamp was warmed up running for hours in a 60F room. I don't know how they come up with a 150W equivalent rating but this is replacing a 60w bulb and it isn't nearly as bright.
Sad thing is I read a review with the same complaint but I thought the guy was just critical and expected too much. Well, now you have a photo to decide for yourself.
BONUS: included an extra bulb - cool!
I should send this back but I was so excited about the product quality I threw the boxes away.
I bought this version (same same?) if it makes any difference:
