Very Nice!
I love this lamp! It large and has a good reach. I was reluctant to buy it because of the price, but now I'm glad I did. I'm a very particular person. I love products that are functional and work as though an experienced engineer designed them. This lamp is both.
THE FRAME:
It's made of 1/2" x 1/2" square steel tubing. It has (2) four-arm plastic knobs that can be used to adjust the tightness of the articulating joints. They measure 2 inches across and are just the perfect size to grab with your fingers for tightening. One is located at the lamp shroud and the second is located mid-frame. There are (4) extension springs used to hold the lamp up. They are covered with telescopic plastic sleeves so the spring is not exposed. These covers are a very nice detail and give the lamp a clean look and also keep dust and stuff from getting caught in the springs.
THE LAMPS:
The two lamps have separate switches (rocker style) on top of the shroud and can be turned...

Item manufacturer has changed
I first placed an order for this in late August 2011 and received exactly what is on the description page: an Alvin brand Combination Lamp, black in color. It is a fantastic product and I highly recommend it.
The first week of September 2011 I returned to the exact same Amazon web page to order another item. Almost everything on the page remained the same including the product specifications which states Alvin as the manufacturer and CL1755-B as the model number. Two very small but important details were changed in the product details section: the ASIN number and the model number. These new numbers now correspond to another lamp made by APCO. I know this because I have the new version in my hand right now. I will upload a photo of the box of the new lamp.
I am sure this lamp is perfectly fine but it does not match the Alvin lamp exactly and definitely does not match the majority of the product page.
UPDATE: October 2011
After receiving a...
DO NOT BUY THIS LAMP!
The lamp itself is great: super solid, well made. The problem is that this Chinese-made lamp has a PROPRIETARY CIRCULAR BULB that is a different configuration than any other bulbs available. My lamp arrived with a broken bulb. This proprietary bulb is backordered INDEFINETELY! It is not available on the Internet. It is not available from electrical supply houses in the US. It is backordered from the manufacturer. I'm a smart guy and figured I could find one. No luck! I might consider returning the whole lamp for replacement, but what happens when THAT bulb burns out, assuming it arrives intact.
This was a gift for someone, so I am doubly annoyed.
My new plan: find a comparable lamp that uses standard bulbs.
