Compositionally, I like the vertical crop overall. I think it is a little tight on the lefthand side, but other than that, it seems to work. I am wondering if it wouldn't be slightly strong if the lamp was more on an angle -- it might give the shot more of a diagonal "flow."
Technically, you have done an excellent drop at controlling the light on this. It is not blown out, yet there are some details still visible. The "darkness" works well as negative space.
You DID meet the challenge, and it IS technically well done. What I think it lacks though, is a "connection" to the viewer. Without that, it just kinda feels like "ho hum -- another light bulb shot." Perhaps a bit more context for the shot would have helped.
Best to you in future challenges.
