Just got in my latest buy from Enc. Nice halogen swing arm lamp, marked down from $64 to $20. This along with the free shipping is an excellent buy.
Lot better quality than I expected and nice looking as well. Heck the halogen bulb costs almost as much as the lamp.
Not affiliated, just passing along a good deal.

Are those adjustable for light output (dimmable)? If so, great buy. If not, that'll be a very hot lamp + expensive to run.

Larry, On / off is all it has. As much as electricity is costing these days, I do not plan of leaving it on, and hope I do not forget to turn it off that much.
Chris
It is, but how do you get free shipping???
I forgot actually. I think there is a post in here something like Enco free shipping.
It just a code. BTW there was no place for me to enter the code. I replied to email I received after I placed my order, and they honored it.
Chris
Sonam,
Use the code 85UPRN. I think it is still valid, although I have no way to be sure. Might be for the month???
Chris
I had the same problem, no place to enter the code, so I took care of it via followup email, and they honored it.

Good customer service for sure. Hard to come by in this outsourced world.
Recently heard :
I hope the guy who came up with the idea of outsourcing, has his job outsourced.

If it is one of those plug in ones I see no reason. No real room to mount such on the thing.
Not sure if there are any implications of it being a halogen, i.e. does it need to heat up, etc...

Thank you!! Gawd, I love this newsgroup!! Bill
Ah, the lack of a dimmer is probably why the price break is so high. Thanks. They're probably good in the shop for task lights.

Is it common for such a light to have a dimmer? This is my third type like this and no dimmers, and I see none listed as such in the Enco catalog. Even the nearly $300 ones, no dimmer.
Note that link does say that halogen lamps need to be run at full power for one minute for every hour of less than full power.
Halogen lamps run at higher filament temperatures and the halogen compound deposits tunsten that has evaporated back on the filament. But this does not happen when run at less than full power.

Dan, Are you saying that the site is wrong? Wish the site had a reasoning to it.
Chris
Interesting. Perhaps it's the vendor who doesn't believe in them.
I haven't looked at halogens for a long while (too hot) but every halogen-bulbed lamp I've seen in anyone's house, whether it be pole lamp, desk lamp, torchiere, or student task lamp, has always had a dimmer on it. Every one.
No, I take that back. I've seen dimmerless halogen under-cabinet lamps. 10 and 20 watt jobs.
