PHIVE LK-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

This product is perfect for what it offers! There are many options for desk lighting and without a recommendation or knowing exactly what to purchase it's a bit of a crap shoot if you'll be happy with the product once you receive it. I am delighted with this product! Adjustable arms are always a bit tricky. Are they build well enough to hold the weight of the light, does it wobble once tightened, and do they hold their position? This light exceeds in this area. In fact, you can adjust the tension at each movable joint, and the tension can be set far tighter than you would ever need. Too often with this kind of adjustability you never seem to be able to tighten the tension enough. The controls at the top of the light are elegant and easy to use, and actually enjoyable. After only using the light for a few hours I could adjust the brightness and mode without looking even though the light sits above me. You made a product where the core needs and features that I wanted work beyond my expectations. I didn't need cleverness, just a solid light that does what it promises to do, and your company designed a lovely, functional product.

This lamp is amazing. Really high end design for the money

Broke at one of the joints after a couple months with normal use. Reached out to seller but no response. Overall not worth 4 months of light

As an architect, I’m very particular about task lighting — and this lamp delivers on every level. The PHIVE LK-2 is both gorgeous and highly functional. The build quality feels solid, the swing arm moves smoothly and holds position perfectly, and the range of lighting modes and dimming levels adapts beautifully to different tasks — from drafting to computer work. It gives even, glare-free light that’s easy on the eyes. Excellent design, outstanding value, and it looks stunning on the desk.

This is my new desk lamp. It replaced a P.O.S. product from IKEA, that looked like it would be good, but wasn't. Phive looked like it would be better, and it IS. A LOT better. The evenness and quality of the light it produces is better, the ease of adjusting the brightness and color temperature of the light is *excellent*, the ease and smoothness of adjusting the position of the lamp head is excellent. The position of the controls is intelligent, as is the design and padding of the base clamp. Having a clamp-on base, for me, is GREATLY preferable to a bulky, clumsy weighted base. In fact, the ONLY thing I can think of that I would prefer is 2-4 more inches length on the upper arm and forearm of the lamp. I only gave it a 4/5 on durability because I haven't had it long enough to say it's a 5/5, but it looks like it will end up there.

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.

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!

Nice lamp, looks cool and appears to be high quality build. It was not *quite* bright enough for my needs to I returned for another type. For normal desk use I'm sure brightness is more than adequate.
