Customer Reviews of Verilux Brookfield Deluxe Full Spectrum Floor Lamp, Brushed Nickel
Customer Review: Verilux Brookfield Deluxe Natural Spectrum Floor Lamp
Summary: 3 Stars
The Verilux Brookfield floor lamp is an attractive, well-made and easily adjustable floor lamp. Unfortunately, it has several design flaws, resulting in my rating of only 3 stars.
Firstly, the Natural Spectrum Daylight compact fluorescent lamp that comes with the Brookfield is, in my opinion, unsuitable for reading or viewing color illustrations. While Verilux goes to great pains to convince the consumer that the lamp mimics the spectrum of natural daylight, it actually produces an unpleasant bluish light that reminds me most of the blue-green glare of mercury vapor lamps used in some street lamps. The light the Verilux bulb produces may look like daylight to a photospectrometer, but it does not at all resemble the light produced by the sun on a clear day to the human eye.
Colors, whether in photos in a book or magazine or on textiles or plants, are all shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum producing an uncomfortable, artificial look. I cannot recommend Verilux bulbs for most purposes.
Second, the base of the floor lamp contains a counter-weight made of a concrete-like substance. The bottom of this counter-weight sits directly on the floor, with no resiliant pads supplied to prevent scratching. This should work fine on a carpet, but will scratch or mar wood floors or floors covered with tile or sheet goods (linoleum or similar).
Third, while the articulating arm positions the lamp housing easily and smoothly, the reflector does not tip left or right. This last is a minor quibble but would be nice to have and easy for the manufacturer to provide.
I elected not to return the lamp as I actually like its design. Instead, I removed the lamp socket and replaced it with a socket to accept standard screw-base compact fluorescent (CFL) lamps. I installed a warm white CFL and am now very satified with the lamp's performance.
Verilux uses a proprietary two-pin bayonet socket. Replacement lamps to fit this socket are not widely available except from Verilux or its dealers. They tend to cost more than ordinary CFL lamps. I don't recommend replacing the socket unless you are quite handy with tools are are comfortable modifying the socket mounting and wiring the new socket.
