HESSION Vintage Industrial Table Pipe Lamp E26 Edsion Base with Dimmable Switch Steampuck Desk Lights Antique Decoration for Loft Coffee House Bar Gold-Patina

I've had this light for about a month and a half, and last night I smelled a hot plastic smell after turning it on. Before I could figure out the light was the source of the smell, the on/off/dimmer dial on the light cord started smoking & almost fully started on fire before I unplugged it. I'm not sure why that happened or if there was anything different I could've done to prevent what happened (I was using a 25w dimming edison/birdcage bulb & nothing else was plugged into the same outlet as the light cord). Maybe this is just a one off or a fluke, but I wanted to leave a review in case anyone else experiences the same. It seemed to be of good quality when I received it & it looked nice until the electrical issues occurred.

At the time of purchase, there was only one review on this, so I figured I'd write a review too. This shipped out of United States (Columbia, SC) and got here on time while being fulfilled by Amazon. The base itself is definitely a metal -- it's quite heavy and has a padded bottom to ensure no sliding. The dimmer on the lamp goes well below the 40 - 20w range when going between "Off" and "On" -- in addition to this, the "Off" position on the dimmer has a nice click and that's the fully off position. This lamp definitely compliments the Edison bulbs due to being an exposed bulb style; you might think "well, that's a light directly in the eyes" -- not with the dimmer at all (Edison bulbs are replicas of his designs, they're not suppose to put out much light when compared to today's bulb).Anywho, this was definitely a solid purchase as a little lamp. 10/10 (I wasn't paid for this :D)

I bought this lamp base to make a custom lamp using an old metal box. This thing was PERFECT for what I needed. The pad on the bottom can be gently taken off to reveal the wiring connections. I needed to remove the wire to get it in to the box, then reattach the wires. It took about 2 minutes to do this and was super easy. The wires are connected with good quality wire screw nuts (or whatever they are called). The dimmer switch works great, not much to comment on there. The base is solid metal, not a cheaper plastic. It's fairly heavy and seems well built. Overall, if this fits your needs, it's a good quality product.

The lamp arrived on time and was exactly what I wanted. It is very well made (heavy duty), the dimmer switch works well and is convenient for adjusting the level of light desired. It is small and can fit just about anywhere. I love the steampunk / industrial style!The bulbs I am using are Vintage Edison Bulb 40w - Elfeland Antique Style Incandescent Light Bulb ST58 - Dimmable, which I purchased on Amazon. They are the perfect size and style for the lamp and give off a nice warm light!LAMP: HESSION Vintage Industrial Table Pipe Lamp E26 Edsion Base with Dimmable Switch Steampuck Desk Lights Antique Decoration for Loft Coffee House Bar Gold-patina( Use for Incandescent Bulb)BULBS: Vintage Light Bulbs, Elfeland 40w Dimmable Squirrel Cage Filament Edison Bulbs ST58 Antique Teardrop Design Retro Pendant Lights for Restaurant Home Office E26/E27 110-130V (6 Pack)

I love this lamp. It can go anywhere. It's super cute, and dimmable which I really like. I also like that it's small so it's able to go anywhere at all. The cord is pretty long, with the dimmer switch on the cord. When I bought it, it didn't come with a bulb, but I bought one of the old time looking ones for around $7 just have to make sure it says dimmable on the package.

Certain vintage bulbs don’t work. They won’t screw down due to the bulb near the base hitting the top of the fixture.

If I was near a hardware store I would have built this one myself, but that’s not an option right now. Over all good quality.

Great price, works wonderfully! Perfect size for nighstands. Thickness is same as a wine bottle at the base. Dimmer switch is a really nice function!
