 Natural light to read by, any time of the day. May 08, 2005
By Charlotte Proctor
We love the Bell & Howell Sunlight lamp. My husband and I, both Senior Citizens, have one at each of our computer stations, as well as one by the reading chair.
The goose-neck allows the lamp to be placed so that it illuminates the keyboard and the book or document one is typing from. There is no glare, and one's work is never in shadow. The light is focused in the area where it is needed, on the keyboard, crossword puzzle, needlework or reading material. The Bell & Howell Sunlight Lamp makes reading a pleasure again, free from eyestrain.
This light is a must for older men and women as the light-gathering capability of their eyes declines.

 Nice bulb, cheap lamp Oct 09, 2007
By Jay P. Klee
As someone else mentioned above, the switch went out on my lamp after about a year. Thinking it was just a short-lived bulb, I ordered two new bulbs. Now I have to decide on whether to blow $40-some bucks on another cheap lamp.
Does anyone make a decent lamp that uses these types of bulbs? It's sad that the name Bell and Howell is now associated with junk like this.

 Great Light Poor Lamp Mar 30, 2007
By John T. McCabe
The best thing about this lamp is the light -- it is excellent for reading. The light, which is much different than my overhead incandescent light, seems to minimize eye strain. However, the materials of construction are flimsy and poorly toleranced -- and the shipping price was about 25% of the total cost.
Great light, poor lamp.

Bell&Howell Reading Lamp is Junk, Only lasts for 2-3 years Apr 11, 2008
By Shannon
"Shannon"
The Bell and Howell reading lamp is made in China. We bought one and it only lasted 2-3 years. We thought the fluorescent lamp went out on it so we bought a replacement bulb but that wasn't it. We tried replacing the ballast and that didn't work either. This lamp while it provides good reading light is CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP. Works for awhile and then fills up our landfill. Its a good lamp if you don't mind having to replace it every few years.
