it could be possible that the shipping weight is wrong? Eight pounds seems to much when the weight of the lamp is 1.4 pounds.

I think it is a little high. The lamp is not very heavy. A simple screw or nail will hold it up.

The lamp is no more than 1.5 pounds. Why the shipping weight is 8 pounds I do not know. This is an Ikea lamp. Maybe you could drive there for it at no shipping cost. I guess if you want it bad enough you would pay the shipping.

The shipping weight is wrong unless you are getting 5 of them. You are right it is only 1.6 lbs sounds like it's off.

As an owner of this lamp, my guess on the weight of this lamp would be between 10-15lbs?

I ordered mine about a year ago. Never thought about it possibly being plastic, and after examining it closely the only indication to me that it may be plastic is that when tapped on, it sounds more plastic-y than glass. I would guess that my lamp weighs about 30 lbs...if that is any indication.

There is something wrong. I don't remember exactly the weight but was something between 8 and 10 pounds.

Mine Was Round When It Arrived And Still Is. I Had No Problem With It. It Is An inExpensive Lamp; I Didn't Expect It To Look Like A One Hundred Dollar Lamp. For The Price And My Need, The Lamp Is GREAT.

I think it's probably just a typo--probably should be 10 oz. shipping weight. Mine was shipped with other items, so I can't say for sure about the shipping weight.

Shipping weight on my unit was over 200 pounds. So I don't think they are the same.

It could be a bad bulb. Sometimes they get knocked around in shipping and the circuit opens. Have you checked other bulbs in the same lamp? Also make sure the lamp is plugged in (I know it's silly but you'd be surprised at how often that is the problem).If the bulb is actually damaged, which you can usually tell by jiggling it and listening for a rattle or by inserting it into another socket and testing, just return it to Amazon through http://www.amazon.com/returns

It is VERY heavy. My lamp spent all summer outside. Even in strong winds, it didn't move an inch.

Our shipping charge was set $10 per item, not base on weight. That's why we lighted our light weight cosmetics items in such low prices to offset high postage. Thank you for your understanding.

The base is mildly weighted. I don't have any issues with this lamp falling over. You power it on and off on the cord, anyway, so you really come into little contact with the lamp itself. The whole thing (sans cord) weighs a little less than a pound at 15.3oz (433g).

Maybe that's shipping weight? The box it comes in is not skimpy. Mine weighs under 2 pounds (using bathroom scale).

At a price of $9 and a shipping weight of 8 ounces my guess would be no, it's a single bulb in spite of the "2x" description. I have one of these lamps and the single bulb weighs about 6.5 ounces on it own due to the metal base enclose for hear dissipation.

I'm not sure it seems to be pretty light. The product information says the shipping weight is eleven pounds.

It weighs less than half a pound that's for sure. As far as the other lights go I don't know.

I think I understand what you are talking about; item 915083 is $30 and item 915003 is $25, both w/ free shipping & fulfilled by amazon. Strange. If you search each model in google, each lamp does show up so they appear to be valid models. To make it more confusing, I found two more model numbers for the same lamp. Perhaps the model # reflects a different manufacturing plant or year? For what it's worth, they are all the same. I ordered 915003 from amazon for $25 and I love it.
