Unfortunately, the lamp has held less than two weeks with me. After a brief flicker they went final. I have it returned under warranty to Amazon. For those who still want to try it with this lamp: Until the defect I was quite happy with the lamp. She let herself (according to energy-meter) dimmed in a range of about 6 to 25 watts, however, grumbled a bit noisy in dimmed state. The color temperature was pleasantly warm.
