these lights are practical and attractive.

By: Cindi N., Homeowner  (woodland park,nj)

These lamps are lovely. They do exactly what we want them to do (bedside lamps that don't have to sit on a nightstand that offer really good lighting for reading. My husband can read without too much light spilling out and I can do the same.

You'll need to provide your own screws.

I ordered two and had a defective unit, the customer service people were so quick to deal with getting another one sent out...it was a great experience all around. I would recommend these lights but also anything from the store (customer service was excellent).

I choose this light because it could extend off the wall and would make reading in bed much easier because of the direction-ability of the lamp. The lamp came with instructions and a bulb. I wish it came with a screws to match the finish of the wall mount. The switch is located on the cord and has slots on the back so it can be attached to the wall. I feel this lamp is a good size for a bed side lamp.

My architect wanted me to put bedside lamps on the wall. I chose this one. He thought there would be a switch on the units themselves, but this is the only model that doesn't have a switch, so electrician had to make a wall switch, which made them more expensive than I planned on. But it should work very well now.

I had major problems with the delivery of the product.

By: Monica V, Architect  (miami, florida)

I like the functionality and design of these lights. Definitely be sure to check the dimensions before ordering, though. I ordered the micro size, and it's not what you might think of as micro. (Maybe I'm biased by a childhood with Micro Machines.)

My only complaint with the micro size is that I wanted to cover the cord with a channel that would attach to the wall. It's difficult to do that, though, with the on/off switch located on the cord. On the other models, I believe the switch is actually on the lamp, rather than on the cord.

I received my Tolomeo Wall light. After revieing everyones reviews I went woth the black ( BEST CHOICE) Unfortuanltly I have not been able to hook it up yet. I'm moving to Sao Paulo in Dec, but I know once I hook it up in my new location it is going to look amazing.

I have bought several things from Y-lighting and I have never been disapointed. All of theire product has been exceptional and the prices are very lower or about the same as other companys.

Sincerly Happy owner of the Tolomeo Wall lamp 8-)

Tolomeo lamps - from the floor lamps to the wall lights are high quality and excellent sources of light. We owned a contemporary condo in the heart of Boston and they fit perfectly with the decor. We are remodeling a mid-century home north of Boston and they will fit perfectly in this setting too.

By: Robin L., Homeowner  (Stoneham MA)

My husband and I saw this light in our hotel room in Edinburgh Scotland and loved it. The swing arm is perfect for night-time reading, as the light can be positioned so you don't disturb your husband while reading. We are putting it in our office, to use as our task light and the long arm gives us great flexibility.

The Tolomeo lamp is really wonderful. Now I still love the Tizio, but am so glad to add the Tolomeo Wall lamp to my loft to provide lighting for my kitchen area.

By: Ken G., Homeowner  (Washington, dc)

If your looking for a lamp that makes an Architectural statement, then Tolomeo is the one to get... All the design details are purfect and materials screem quality...

By: William D., Designer  (Denver)

We love the lamps, but wish that the screws came with the product so we have something that perfectly matches the base.

have been away and have not yet opened boxes

By: Auerbach, Homeowner  (bernardsville, new jersey)

I think I can't get enough of these Tolomeo lamps. They are so versatile, can be moved to any direction, the light that comes from the shade is great and also you have the indirect light that comes from the small opening on the back. Fit and finish is something you will expect after paying $300 and made in Italy. Super modular and several options for surface and mounting applications.

I decided to go for the aluminum finish in order to keep them as original as possible and in some cases, to match my mac setup of glass/aluminum. I have 2 minis on the night stands, a wall mounted version for the computer desk and a big tolomeo mega for the living room. I think I will get the clip-on next or a micro for a small desk. It's an addiction for sure.

We really like these lights at our bedside for reading lamps. The opaque shades are great to keep the light out of your partner's eyes, and keep the light focused on your New Yorker. The aluminum shades remain cool enough to handle, even with 60w bulbs installed. The adjustability of the lamps is really nice for the purpose, letting me put the light where I want it, and me where I wanna be.

Classic design complements our modern decor.

By: Teresa S., Homeowner  (Washington, DC)

I use this sconce as a bedside reading lamp.

it functions beautifully--the articulated arm lets the user direct the light exactly where he/she wants it, without disturbing other people in bed.

the design is iconic. recognizable but not a cliche.

I love it contrasted with very traditional furniture, or mixed in with modern pieces as well.

don't be afraid of the black finish--it's cool and makes a dramatic statement, rather than the silver finish which is more common.

Tolomeos are a design classic - functional & beautiful. I have purchased 2 to wall mount on the bed headboard.

However, make sure you measure the size to ensure you get the right size. There a number of different siezes and the pictures could be misleading.

Buyers should be made aware that screws and wall bolts are not included. This is the third Tolomeo purchase for our home. We really like these lamps and they work with energy-saving florescent bulbs.

By: John R., Homeowner  (Berkeley, CA, USA)

This lamp can not be hung without seeing wires. I wanted to be able to turn the lamp on/off at the lamp, like the other tolomeo lights i own. unfortunately, this one needed to go back and be replaced by the larger style.

I've been using the tolomeo series for 15 years now and still find that it is one of the best designed task light series around.

By: Mark D., Architect  (bethlehem, ct, usa)

This fixture is well designed for function and asthetics. Easy to operate and compact enough for just about any space. If you are looking for a table lamp, floor lamp, or a wall mount ceck out all the variations of the Tolomeo.

We had the square version of these in our old home and now have the round ones in the new one. Really dissapear into the ceiling, yet also are cool to look at. Got the 2 lights for our bedrooms and 1 light for our closets.

Tolomeo lights go with every type of decorating/design. They are built well, work perfectly and are very well priced.

By: Linnea P., Designer  (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA)

It took several days for customer service to realize the product does not come with screws which was also frustrating.
