Simple Designs LT2008-BLU Mini Ceramic Globe Table Lamp with Matching Fabric Shade, Blue

I recently purchased the Simple Designs LT2008-OFF Mini Ceramic Globe Table Lamp because I was looking for a small, stylish lamp to fit on my desk. The off-white ceramic globe design looked great in the pictures, and it seemed like a perfect match for my space.Design & Aesthetics:The lamp itself is cute and compact, just like I wanted. The mini ceramic globe has a modern, minimalist look that would work well with a variety of decors. It's small enough to fit on a table or nightstand without taking up much space, which was a plus for me.Bulb Compatibility:However, the lamp does not use a standard bulb, which was a major disappointment. It requires a specific type of bulb that I found hard to locate. After spending time searching for the right replacement bulb, I realized it just wasn’t practical for my needs, especially since I prefer to use commonly available bulbs. The fact that the lamp isn't compatible with standard bulbs significantly limited its usability, and it just didn’t make sense for me to keep it.Return Experience:Given that the bulb compatibility issue was a dealbreaker for me, I ended up returning the lamp. It was easy to return, but the overall inconvenience of trying to find the correct bulb made the experience less than ideal.Conclusion:While the Simple Designs Mini Ceramic Globe Table Lamp looks great and has a sleek design, I couldn’t recommend it due to the hassle of finding the right bulb. If you're okay with hunting down a specific type of bulb and don’t mind that inconvenience, it could be a good choice. For me, however, the fact that it's not compatible with standard bulbs made it impractical, and I decided to return it.

Cute and perfect for bathroom night light as it is just enough light. Bulb not included, but available on Amazon. A great hallway lamp to leave on at night for safety and no need to turn on overhead light.

Bought this lamp as a gift for my mom. She loves it. It's nice and elegant. It's not exactly my style, but she thinks that it looks beautiful where she put it. I would definitely say that this is more of an old fashioned lamp but it does a great job of illuminating the room and does look very elegant.

Cute little lamp, but the specs say that it’s a touch control and it’s not. There is one brightness setting and it’s a rotating switch that turns the lamp on/off. Every bulb that I tried was visible from above. If the shade sat slightly higher, it would look nicer and hide the bulb.

Nice, but expected it to be larger

PLEASE, anyone looking for a small lamp don't be deceived by the add that calls this a lamp! I needed a lamp for my headboard and chose this one. First they don't tell you UPFRONT that it only takes a 6-watt bulb the exact size and shape of a Christmas Tree lightbulb; YES, I am referring to the ones you string up outside your house at Christmas. But, because these people are so underhanded in the way they're out to get your money they don't tell you ANY of this! And after you screw the bulb in which is tricky in itself because you have to pull up on the part that's going to hold the bulb in place, while your holding the bulb and maneuvering the shade —at the same time...And after you've accomplished this exercise in manual dexterity and infinite patience by now you definitely know the bulb isn't the only thing that just got screwed! Now you have a lamp that's all of 6"-inches high and it's so small that the Christmas lightbulb is extended a good 2 inches OVER the rim of the shade...One of my Dad's old classic Zippo lighters would have given off more light than this lamp! Excellent gift for someone you intensely dislike...like back in the day you'd give somebody a Chia Pet (and no Amazon, I'm not saying anything bad about the product itself; it was just a gift that said you didn't put any real effort into shopping for the person).

Yes, the lamp is smaller but the dimensions are in the description so whose fault is it for being surprised if the lamp shows up smaller than expected. It is small in general for a lamp but I love it. It’s perfect for each side of my bed for each night stand and keeps the room lit up with a warm touch not too bright. With it being smaller it gives me room on my night stands and I love the blue color. It’s simple, not too expensive and works just like any other lamp I've had. You just cant please everyone (especially for how cheap it is). No complaints.

But for real - read the dimensions. It makes me sad to see people knocking stars off of this adorable little lamp because it's "too small". The dimensions of it are very clear and yes, it is so much smaller than any lamp you'll find in your local department or box store. But that's exactly what makes this lamp AWESOME.This lamp basically fits in the palm of your hand and it is absolutely precious. No, it won't light up a room but if you're into some moody, atmospheric lighting - look no further. I, personally, love the size. I think it firts perfectly on smaller, open shelves or in a dark little corner that you'd like to have some light every once in a while.I do think it's valued for its quality. It is light and feels relatively cheap in your hand but honestly, it is quite affordable so I don't have any qualms with it.The size alone sells it for me. Do note: you need a specific bulb that you most likely don't have lying around your house so but sure to add that to your cart, too.
