Great lamp
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rechargeable dimmable lamp is great. My son did steal it on the day it arrived but that’s ok! He uses it as both a desk lamp and a night light. It’s also very portable and fit right into his suitcase for an overnight trip to our camp. He loves it and I apparently will need to get another for myself. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for introducing us to this much loved lamp!

Chic portable desk lamp with adjustable brightness
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this desk lamp as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it’s been really great so far. I think the desk lamp is well-designed from sturdy materials. The aesthetic is very modern and it has a clean minimalistic design that will appeal to many. I like the look of it so much I’m using it as a practical (in photography terms) light in my streaming and recorded videos. A thoughtful design choice was putting grippy rubber on the bottom which keeps the lamp in place on the desk instead of moving when things bump into it. The lamp was somewhat portable - since it is battery operated it la very easy to pick up and move to a new location or around on the desk when you need to shift things. What I didn’t like about its portability is that it feels like the top part could break or the long middle pole might bend if it were packed for travel. For being advertised as a portable desk lamp I think it missed the mark a little there. I’d love to see a version where the pole in the center is telescoping so it could collapse down and become ultra compact for travel. Then again it is a desk lamp - and this was my only thought I had for improving the product. I code a lot at night and having a soft lighting helped me reduce eye strain without disturbing my partner who goes to bed earlier than I do in the same room. I love that the lamp includes 3 warmths of light so I can change it depending on when I’m using it. The lamps touch settings were easy to learn and use - and the ability to adjust the brightness with a long press was really useful in getting the lighting right for video recording and for use during night coding. Overall I was able to use this little lamp in a variety of settings (video recording/coding/kids nightlight) and can see many uses for it going forward. The battery life has been amazing and I plan to continue using this light for a long time. A very solid product!

The Best Accessory I Have Added To My Desk So Far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the TRU RED Portable Lamp for free through Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review and it was instantly my favorite addition to my home work space. I had no idea how much of a difference having perfect lighting at any time of day really can make on your attitude toward work. The lamp has a simple clean modern style and a black finish that looks great even when it is not powered on. It is rechargeable through a Type-C USB Cable which is included in the box and it actually does last the full ten hours it claims on the packaging. Operation is simple. There is an on/off button on the bottom of the lamp in case you don't want to risk accidentally turning it on by touching it accidentally however I found no issue with accidentally turning it on. It is operated by touching the top part of the lamp. Tapping it turns it on and cycles it through three light temperature options. Having these options turned out to be great because depending on the time of day I my need extremely bright light throughout the day or in the evening I may find it more comfortable and soothing to work using the warm white light temperature instead. The light can also be dimmed by touching and holding your finger there on the top part of the lamp. When you are ready to bring the brightness back up you use the same process of touching and holding your finger in place on the top part of the lamp. Keeping the operations very simple like they did makes the lamp easy to use and the elimination of buttons or switches adds to the sleek look of the lamp. It is very light weight but with the base of the lamp being weighted just enough that it is not precarious or top heavy at all and it is well made and solid. The fact that it is rechargeable and can be used cordlessly is a great advantage considering you can easily grab this light and move it to wherever you may need a little extra light and you will not have to worry about making sure you are close enough to a power source. Needless to say I am very impressed with this lamp and would recommend it.

Pretty good lamp
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: M.L.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this lamp thru Stellar Product Testing Panel. It’s a pretty good lamp. Definitely a lamp that I would’ve bought on my own. I love the fact that it is wireless so I can just charge it and use it anywhere. Initially I was going to use it as a desk lamp only but since it’s so portable it migrated from my desk to my bedside. After the first initial charge I have been using it every night for various duration time from a few minutes to about a half hour and I hadn’t recharge it yet. It’s nice that it has 3 different lighting so I can choose between white warm and yellow lighting. I gave this lamp a 4 out of 5 stars because my husband did complain that it was a tad night when using as a bedside lamp. I wish it had a dimmer setting.

Perfect desk lamp
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: M.R.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this light which we use currently at our home office desk in the basement. Love that it’s portable so we don’t have to deal with extra cords on our desk or placement near an outlet…which we don’t have many of in our basement. Easy to change brightness settings which are customizable and so handy for multiple people using this light! It’s a perfect desk lamp! I received this desk lamp from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

A great compact and rechargeable lamp
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lamp is very cool! As mentioned in the title I have never seen one like this before! I was so excited to try this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'm a teacher and I also write curriculum so I spend a lot of time at my desk on my computer. I really loved having this lamp to be able to customize the light at my desk as opposed to just relying on the overhead lighting. Being able to choose the light tone (warm vs cool) and the adjustable dimming feature kept my eyes comfortable and less strained while working long hours at my desk. I will say that while it is super easy to switch the type of light (cool to warm for example) it was a bit more difficult to use the dimming feature. For some reason it would not always recognize when I pressed to dim the light. You have to tap on top to change the light type and press to dim. I don't feel the light did a good job recognizing when I was pressing and trying to dim and that is the only reason why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I absolutely LOVE that it is wireless and charges with a USB cable. It's pretty neat to be able to move my light source with me while I move to different locations to work. I recommend this lamp!

Portable and seriously lightweight
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this desk lamp to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and boy am I glad I was selected! As a busy working mom of 1 I often find myself nowadays doing work at night like balancing my checkbook paying bills and etc. I don’t like to have to burn electricity to do so and after sometime any other lamp irritates my eyes but not the TRU RED LED lamp it’s like it’s on but it’s not!(AMAZING I know lol) When I received this little lamp at my doorstep I don’t think I was ready for how small it would actually be(don’t let the size fool you though ha!) This little TRU RED portable LED lamp is packed with power! With three touch color temperature control settings and dimming with each one with just an extra hold tap for the dimmer it’s truly the only lighting you’ll need to get any work done and the best thing you won’t be burning any electricity!(lol) This little lamp has made my late night working enjoyable.(Seriously guys I ca t stop starring at how small it is) It is so convenient and lightweight I can take it with me literally anywhere!(In the bathroom closet garage outside ANYWHERE!!!) I live in south west Louisiana where bad weather equals power outages so this will serve great use as a flashlight as well! The best part is that it is wireless and the battery life literally lasts for a WHOLE full week with me getting up to 2 hours each day of work in before having to charge again! I also love that I can use ANY USB-C cable cord to charge it with in the event I misplace the one it came with.(everyone has usb-c cables lying around) The design is also so modern it goes with just about any decor in any room. The one complaint I would say is that more color designs might be needed to attract all ages but this is not a deal breaker by any means. I’m so excited to find more use for this little portable LED lamp and to gift to many family and friends!

Tru red portable lamp
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: S.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tru red portable lamp is truly a great simplistic design. It’s lightweight and compact enough to fit any desk space. The lighting has three different options for brightness which is great. I love the tap on feature and the solid touch to dim. Would encourage anyone to get this design. I did receive this product as part of the stellar product testing panel
