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.

We loved this lamp so much we bought 2 more. Our living room has a northern exposure lack of sunlight is an issue. These lamps help light the area very well. The lamps assembled easily, and the remotes work independently which is a plus. We would recommend these lamps.

I bought this to replace an existing floor lamp and the wife absolutely loves it. I like the fact that it has different light colors that can be dimmed or brightened as needed. My wife uses it to read her books, yes people do still read actual books these days, and she loves the fact that it has a remote control option. I usually run the soft white (yellow) setting and my wife prefers the cool white (in your face vibrant white) so it’s nice you can switch between them on a single lamp. It is slightly wider than our other floor lamp, due to the fact it has the secondary reading lamp but it’s pretty stable and it’s tall enough to disperse the light without blinding you.

Product is as advertised. I appreciate the color choices of the bulbs and Love having a remote. However, I have rescrewed a few times but it still will not stand up straight. I bought these type of lamps and put them together a lot this is not an uncommon problem. All in all I am satisfied. BTW make sure to manually turn on each bulb before using the remote! LOL

Beautiful lamp for the price. Easy assembly and is bright. Note: the bowls on top are plastic but you don’t realize until you touch. Perfect for our needs.

Wonderful choice in lighting. I love the remote usage. Easy to put together. Adjusting to desired position is great.

I finally have enough light! I love this so much, I'm buying another one for my guest suite. Not only does it light the room well, the ability to change the tone of the light is great for when you don't want that BRIGHT look. I used this in my sewing room because I couldn't get enough light no matter what lamp I added and the bright white works perfectly for this, but I tried it in my guest suite with the softer toned light and it looked beautiful. I bought the white one for both rooms. It looks clean and modern. I love it!

I got this and loved it. The problem came when the remote dropped about 3 ft off my desk to the floor and now the remote doesn't work. ONE TIME falling and it no longer works. Im sad because the remote was so convenient. No way to reach the seller.

Good
