PESRAEFloor Lamp, Remote Control with Stpeless Color Temperatures and Brightness, Torchiere lamp for Bedroom, Living Room, Bulb Included (Matte Black)

UPDATED AFTER 2 YEARS **********---- Functions ----I saw another reviewer giving 4 stars saying that they can't pair the remote to 2 lamps but that's FALSE, YOU CAN PAIR a remote to 2 LAMPS simultaneously! Just be sure to point the remote generally in the middle of both lamps, then hold the button until flashing to be paired. The angle and position of the remote truly matters between the two lamps to signal both. I just had to write this review b/c I don't want people to miss out on this wonderful lamp from misinformation.So once both are paired, you should know something. I'll tell ya it's happened many times where I turned on or off only ONE lamp of the two that makes it inconvenient.. I'd be off to the side or corner of the room with the remote when this happened, so again I stress that angle/position matters to get them both, or you'll be faced with struggling to turn one on while it turns the other off..!---- PROTIP ----However, if that happens, you can press + hold the power button for ~1 sec as you wave your hand over to another position to signal the other lamp, if that makes sense. Like waving hi but at different axises (sounds silly but that's what I found works). Or if that's still a struggle, you can manually press the footswitch of one lamp, press remote for the other lamp, then press that same footswitch again so they become both on or off at the same time.And I don't know about others but if I press the power button fast repeatedly, it would unpair the lamps from the remote, so be patient with pressing it if that's the case for you.On a side note, I dunno about 3+ lamps being paired since I've only done it for 2 but my guess is it would work, just make sure they aren't too close together from the rooms to interfere.. in which case, you should probably try to pair with their designated remotes only.----- Warning -----If you are above or below a floor level with the same lamps, beware that you might accidentally pair them (this goes for next door neighbors too if they happen to have the same lamp nearby). It was a strange incident in my upstairs bedroom when my mom would tell me the lamp in the living room was malfunctioning again. That's when I realized I paired it by mistake and was turning her lamp on/off.. HAHA, and yes, it happened more than once! To Remedy this, just make use of the footswitch to pair it properly, as instructed above.My thoughts ********** :I find this lamp design timeless and a lovely addition to the home. I use 2 of them in my room and appreciate the 5 modes to change it quickly when needed. I'm sensitive to light temperatures/brightness and this helps set the mood and focus in my bedroom/work studio. The lowest brightness + warmest temperature bring ease to the eyes for the night and mornings. The cool temperatures in general help me take better pictures without that yellow tint in usual indoor light settings. There is some wobble to the pole but I don't have pets where it might be a concern.In general, it was simple to assemble and the remote is about 6"x1.5" but with useful functions for convenience--I added silicone bumpers on the back so it wouldn't clank on things. Sometimes I do wish it were brighter but for the bedroom or living room, it's a solid choice. Maybe there are compatible bulbs with a higher wattage for a brighter light, will update if I come across it after the bulbs finally die out. I'm happy that I haven't had to change them though in the 2 years I've had them hahaOverall, I love this lamp and highly recommend it if you are looking for an above-average-functional floor lamp with a timeless design, decent brightness and a convenient, handy remote. I know of 5 more purchases of this lamp by others since first buying it for myself and would still recommend it to others. Thanks and may you enjoy these lamps too <3

Super easy to set it up, the remote control works well, and the build quality is pretty decent. Looks great in our room and the option to adjust the brightness is phenomenal. Worthwhile buy for the price!

I wasn't expecting a lot in this lamp and was replacing one that bit the dust but figured it would suffice in a corner of my bedroom. What a great find at a great price. It stands straight and tall even though the post is rather narrow and the base is weighted nicely. The remote is magnetic which can attached to the lamp itself or any other metal item for convenience. There are many lighting settings and this lamp looks great. I particularly like the night setting that just gives a nice even low light.

SECOND UPDATE:The replacement bulb is working as expected. After several hours of being illuminated, the remote bulb is still accepting commands from the remote. So far, so good. Hopefully, it will last.BTW, I did order a second lamp for my office at work, mostly because I like the lamp that much. I won't be using the remote control bulb, though. At 9W, it's a bit too dim. Plus I don't really need the remote function at work. The foot switch is more than adequate.UPDATE:The lamp itself is still good. No issues and it's worth the price I paid for it (which was discounted).The bulb, not so much. The remote control feature stopped working and no troubleshooting would fix it. This morning, I tried again after leaving the light OFF all night. Lo and behold, it's working again. It appears the circuitry loses its mind when it warms up.I'm going to assume it's a defective bulb and do a replace & return. If it is defective, I'll update this review.ORIGINAL:The lamp itself is fine. I like this style of lamp because it (sort of) provides both direct and indirect lighting. The plastic shade is just fine. I have a similar lamp in my basement with the same plastic shade and it's been going strong for well over 10 years. But, the lamp is just that...a lamp.The magic is in the bulb. The remote communicates with the bulb, not the lamp. You can find replacement bulbs here on Amazon and they all come with remotes. I didn't know that. If this works out, I can use the magic bulb in ANY lamp, which is kind of exciting for a nerd like me.The bulbs are a little pricey. You can get them for as low as nine bucks each if you buy them in a three-pack. Great idea, though. Hopefully they will last.

This lamp is awesome! Easy to assemble and looks so nice. Comes with remote control for brightness and hue. Perfect for me!
