(More customer reviews)Yes, you can buy a much cheaper floor lamp that uses regular bulbs at any Walmart, K-mart or Target store, but that's not what this lamp is. It is pricey, but you are paying for the "new" Ultralux HD technology lighting system along with quality construction of the lamp itself. Additionally, the said new technology comes with an increased safety factor. The slight difference in less light output as compared to a halogen bulb is far worth the decreased fire hazard. If you go to the Full Spectrum Solutions website they offer more information and details about the Ultralux HD technology.
Halogen bulbs burn really bright, but also very hot! A halogen bulb with the same equivalent to this one burns at over 1,000 degrees while the Ultralux HD is only around 130 degrees. Many Torchiere style lamps that use halogen bulbs have been deemed a fire hazard. In some cases halogen bulbs have gotten so hot they have actually exploded catching fire or just burned so hot that the output of heat has caught items near the lamp on fire.
This is a link to a report on the dangers of Torchiere lamps with halogen bulbs. It is a bit outdated but a valid government report just the same [...]
I am someone who suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) so the brighter, the whiter the better for me! If it lights up the room like a landing strip I will be quite excited. By the way, the floor lamp does have dimmable light settings. Before I had SAD I would have thought it was a joke. Unfortunately, I have a rather severe case of it and haven't found anything funny about the chronic depression and debilitating fatigue that hits me in Fall and about kills me in Winter up until March of every year. I am at the point now that even dreary, rainy days in the Spring/Summer knock the wind out me. I am not using this floor lamp for SAD light therapy...I bought a light box with blue light specifically for that. This floor lamp will be used in addition the light box to promote a brighter living environment overall. I hope that it will prove to be a valuable asset in managing my SAD.
