Anika 62519 Hurricane Table Lamp with Touch Activated Base / 3 Brightness Settings / Easy to Install Bulb / Chrome Effect / Mains Powered / 28 x 12.5cm

The lamp arrived very well packed. The whole lamp is encased in moulded polystyrene in its own box and then inside a bigger Amazon box. The original box looks very small but the lamp base is cleverly packed inside the shade. It’s very easy to assemble although if you have large hands the bulb might be a bit fiddly. I bought the recommended bulbs at the same time. It would have been nice to have a bulb included but as the price of the lamp was very reasonable I don’t mind. The good points are - 1. The lamp is well made and looks more expensive than it is. 2. The 3 levels of light are perfect. The lowest is a perfect night light. The next is easily bright enough to read by. The brightest is still not hard on the eyes, even with a glass shade. 3. As it is a touch lamp there is no cord trailing over the bedside cabinet where a lot of lamps have an inline switch. There is also no struggling to reach a switch often located at the base of the bulb. I bought it as I have rheumatoid arthritis and my hands are basically useless at night. The lightest touch is all that is required. 4. I think the lamp is a nice size. The shade in particular is slim whereas on a lot of lamps the shade can get in the way on a bedside cabinet, particularly if you have limited space which is often the case. I have taken a photo with a phone to show the scale. 5. The clear shade is so much better than a lot of the fabric covered ones which seem to be on the bulk of bedside lights. It doesn’t dull the light so you don’t need a high wattage bulb. You don’t need to colour match it other than choosing the base. The few negative points are - 1. The touch base is very sensitive. If you are heavy handed the light will just turn on then immediately off but it is not a real problem. 2. The cord could have been a bit longer. Fortunately my sockets are exactly in the middle of my double bed. Even though my bedside cabinets are quite tall the lamp is still at least 18 inches from the edge of the cabinet. 3. The shade is fine glass which looks so much better than plastic but makes it unsuitable for a child’s room. If you knocked or dropped the lamp it would certainly break. The negative points are very very minor and no problem. The lamp looks more expensive than it is. It’s a perfect size and doesn’t crowd the bedside cabinet. It’s so easy to operate and it’s nice to have 3 light levels. It is also a nice bright light which many of todays lamps are not. I would certainly recommend it and am planning on buying a second one.

I love these lamps. Has three different touch functions for brightness. Looks very nice

Delightful - looks very pretty and vintage. Very easy to turn on and off in the middle of the night. Difficult to pick up for dusting my bedside table, however, as touch activation is very sensitive - you cannot pick it up using the base; the touch activation is good during the night but not for housekeeping.

Absolutely stunning! Really well made, 3 different brightness settings, plug fitting so no USB adapters, touch base control. Total bargain!! Highly recommend 👌

Love this table lamp, looks really good, and the touch activate base works really well.

A lovely lamp and really handy at night. But the significant fault is the fragile glass shade. I was always careful, but after 2 years, it broke. Don't buy it if you have children around the house.

Bought this for my bedroom wanted a dimmable lamp and it’s has 3 different brightness’s which are very good so need need to use the main light as the brightest setting it’s very bright,would recommend but delicate as the shade is glass and it’s quite pretty

Lovely to look at and nice and easy to switch on and off perfect for my 93 year old mum.

Really lovely little lamp ,very well wrapped and protected also ,im just waiting on the bulbs for it now that I ordered and ill be up and running, definitely recommend buying the lamp though
