Customer Reviews for Globe Electric Holden 18 in. Black Table Lamp

The Holden 18 inch Black Table Light has a small footprint and is perfect for an end table or night stand. The open design allows for showcasing the many decorative Edison Style LED bulbs that are widely available. The on/off switch is located on the power cable, which is less convenient than a base-mounted switch. The exposed light design is also not ideal for task lighting like a computer desk or workstation. This light is best suited for open areas, away from work spaces, where additional lighting is required.

The light is about as basic as they come. You supply the bulb of your choice. None are included. You can buy the fancy Edison bulbs or keep it simple with a smaller filament bulb. We got two lamps for our night stands and added the amber bulbs for a softer light. The construction is good and the bottom has little pads that keep scratches off your furniture. They really are very simple and nice lights.

This lamp is nice because it was a simple design and could be added to any decor. When I opened the box the table lamp was fully assembled and ready to plug in. There is not a lightbulb included with the lamp but luckily I already had warm glow Edison bulbs on hand. If you use a regular bulb, due to no shade, it will be blinding and might not be for the person who is light sensitive. If you are a DIYer there are a lot of ways to add some type of shade but in my opinion the lamp looks best as is. It just may not be a practical reading lamp because of the lack of a shade. I’m going to be using this as a bedside table lamp. The cord is long enough making it easy to place in the room. Close to the base of the lamp there is a rotary switch built into the cord for convenience. Golden Electric's Holden Table Lamp compliments my simple decor. They also make a matching floor lamp that I also got. I would definitely recommend this lamp but just remember there is no shade and make sure you buy a bulb with it.

Simple and cute for my bedroom. Gives enough light with it's matching light buld which needs to buy separately, which was good for me because the light bulb is that give this simple lamp it's beautiful finishing touch.

Great table lamp, perfect for my small end table in the living room.

Beautiful and simple. Perfect

Super cool and retro! It works well with the real retro style incandescent bulbs.

It was so easy to unpack and no assembly required. I love this modern looking lamp. If you look for this lamp with other popular retailers, it will cost so much more.

Perfect for what I needed it for.

Love this light. Really cute in my office!

Looks beautiful. Requires an Edison bulb (not included). Could use a regular lightbulb, but would look bad. Great quality.

The switch on the cable could be closer to the lamp. You sort of have to follow along the cord with your hand to the switch to turn it on and off. Generally a nice lamp.

If you're looking for a simple lamp with an industrial feel to it this is a great lamp. I was hoping that perhaps I could attach a shade if I wanted to change it up at some point but it is not set up for that and would take a little finagling. However, it does look cool just the way it is and provides a good light on my bedside for reading. I would recommend this lamp.

Such a FUN and unique lamp for a side table. I absolutely love how unique this lamp is. The exposed bulb gives a modern and industrial look. This is perfect for an end table to either read by or to add light into any room in your house! I specifically love that it has a matching floor lamp. We have one on an end table next to our couch and the matching floor lamp in the room as well!

This is a great little lamp! It arrived wrapped in plastic, encased in a big piece of foam, inside of 2 cardboard boxes---almost impossible to sustain damage during shipment. It has a very nice black finish, padding on the bottom to protect the furniture, and can handle up to a 60 watt bulb. I tried a large 40 watt globe bulb in it and the lamp looks great. The on/off switch is made right in the 5 foot cord, which I find very handy.

The Globe “Holden” 18 inch black table lamp is okay, however it doesn’t include the bulb like you see in the picture. It states this on the box in small print if you catch it. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that it didn’t come with the bulb and I didn’t see that on the box. The lamp itself is good quality and looks fine and you could put a variety of lamp styles in it.
