How does it compare to the Bell & Howell natural spectrum floor lamp?

I'm not familiar with Bell & Howell's lamp but I can tell you I liked my Verilux so much that I bought another one. It's perfect for reading and doing crafts and can be moved around easily. A friend saw my lamps in my home and bought two from Amazon also. They have the best price.

I am not familiar with the other brand....I am happy and satisfied with the verilux I purchased

This is the second Verilux lamp I bought - the first one is something like 15 years old and still going strong - but I have no idea what the B & H lamp is. Very happy with the Verilux.

We have never had a Bell & Howell so can not compare .Will say that the Verilux natural is one of the best lamps we have owned .It gives out great light for reading or doing anything up close .

I have no knowledge of the Bell & Howell product that you describe. Do no buy this Verilux Natural. It makes the reader very hot.

The one I have I chose because it's more golden. I painted my kitchen orange, ands this lamp has a lot of yellow,orange & red which really compliments the room. It's the one in the pic that is lit

I have purchased a few lamps recently. If you are asking about the Bell and Howell Lamp. Yes, it does. All you have to do is plug the lamp in.

The lamp is very bright. However, because you point it in a direction, it would be kind of a weird way to light a whole room (it would be like having the sun in the corner). If that's your goal, I think something like a halogen floor lamp (that bounces light up off the ceiling) would be better. I've used the Atlas lamp for extra reading light when it's behind me, but we put a silver tip bulb in because the bulb itself pointing at you is really bright.

I found it to be very bright, not sure you would want to replace for a floor lamp. The 1300 Lumen light is more for reading, or crafting. Bringing the light to the area where you are working. I use mine mainly for knitting, it gives me added light to see better.

These last longer than EICO-brand lamps (about 2-3x) but these are not the Hella long-life lamps. The long-life is H83135041. These last substantially longer than any others we have used. They are also not quite as bright and have a slight yellow tinge to them. We used these bulbs in machine tool lamps and it requires $10 in labor to replace them, plus machine down time. The long life Hella or the unit in question here we find are both good solutions. We currently are in trials with GE bulbs, but have no results at this time.

Depends what you are used to and looking for. If you don't mind the blue spectrum, this is a nice bulb. We have the same bulb in the red spectrum in our kitchen and like them. We use the blue spectrum version in some rooms. Both put out a lot of light, work well on dimmer switches and are efficient.

I have the lamp on one end of a work table that is 4 feet long and 16 inched deep. At full bright, the lamp illuminates the entire surface, but is brighter at or near the lamp. If it were elevated above the surface in the middle back of your desk, it should provide decent work light on most of the surface. This is LED light, not incandesant, so at the same brightness it has a softer bluish appearance. I hope this helps your decision.

Mine died recently too, but since I was trained in electronics/electricity in the Marines, I thought I'd just fix it. Nope, the lamp is built so that when it dies, you just need to toss it. After 8 or 10 years, I just ordered a new one from Amazon. Bell and Howell is a very good name in the industry, but I guess, as in all things, you just have to know when to say when. Save yourself a headache, and buy a new one.

This light is much brighter and sharper than standard bulbs. We use it at about the same measurements from floor and reading as you describe. The light is a very clear white. It was reccomended to us by a person who quilts. The person in our home who uses it has macular degeneration and the Ottlite helps quite a lot. We also found Amazon's price was significantly lower than in the store where we first looked at the lamps. Good luck.

I have this Bell and Howell and it goes in and out of focus almost constantly so I replaced it with a 1080p HD Infrared night vision/full spectrum camera and I am much happier with that camera. Go for the Full Spectrum. The one I bought does not have it's own IR light but I bought a good IR flood light and a light bar and they both work great together. Do not get the cheap IR light though unless you only want to see about 3 feet in front of you for only about 15 minutes as the battery dies quickly and a recharge takes 4 hours. Buy the one that takes a 9 volt battery it lasts much longer and if it dies you can easily just replace the battery.

It seems to be the same type and quality that's in my ott light floor lamp, which advertises as providing true daylight color. I'm a quilter and it's important to be able to distinguish tones and tints of color when I work on projects at night, plus my nightime eyesight is not great mostly because I'm older and have cataracts that my eye doctor says aren't quite ripe enough for surgery.

Ok I compared it like you did. I have the L6 and am very pleased with all of the operations. I even went to Panasonic site http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=450713&catGroupId=119508&surfModel=FV-11VQL5&displayTab=F and looked at the two. The L5 has ONE lamp, the L6 has TWO according to Panasonic's site. Beyond that Bharat, I also cannot find any difference. Buy the cheaper one and you will be happy with it. I have many Panasonic electronics and have been more than pleased with everything they make. I put mine on a triple switch. But if you have a dark bathroom, I would hardwire (permanently wire) the nightlight so that it always illuminates. Its so little power to run it. The fan and light combination is just a major win.

As luck would have it, I have an old Bell and Howell Sunlight Desk Lamp (lamp part is no longer operable but has nothing to do with bulb) and it does fit that Bell and Howell lamp perfectly. Hope this answers your question and works for you. I also have another similar lamp, not sure if Ott or Verilux, and it fits both of them perfectly, too. Good luck. Love these bulbs because they seem to last forever and give out a lot of light.

Yes, I have both the Light and Platinum on my home and can honestly say the difference is very hard to see. From the outside they both seem to look as reflective and from the inside the platinum may be a bit darker looking but not by much. I like both and have no complaints but just trying to help.

I was not impressed. If you ever need bright lighting (i.e. for reading, etc.), then you may want to go with a higher-wattage version. The light is nice, but if you can 'see' the bulbs, they do have some glare to them as they are clear, not frosted. If you are just looking for something that will give nice ambient lighting, you should be fine with them, though. I ended up using these in open, recessed can fixtures above our downstairs bar and they are fine there - but I don't need a bright light in that location. Also - these are NOT dimmable, so if the lamp has a 3-way switch, you may want to look at other options. Hope that helps!

yes it is the best .ive ordered the lamps before from different companys and they didn't last long at all,plus the quality of the picture wasn't that great...
