Sylish functional and portable
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work from home full time and have multiple "office spaces" throughout the house - vs. a dedicated room in my home. The TRU RED portable lamp is perfect for this type of situation. I received the lamp from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and what I love most is that it uses a rechargeable battery vs. having to be plugged in. That makes it so much easier for me to bring it with me to my various work spaces without having to deal with cords and outlets. I also love the different light settings - from bright white to warm white - so that I can adjust the light based on the activity or overhead lighting in various spaces. I also really appreciate how sleek and lightweight this lamp is. It's so easy to move around and the white modern style fits in in almost any environment. This definitely makes it easier for me to work on my laptop in low light situations like nighttime or rainy days.

Chic lamp with customizable settings
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TRU RED Portable Lamp is incredibly modern and chic. The design of the lamp really "dresses up" the desk. It is the perfect size to be portable and also not take up too much real estate on the table. The thing that makes this lamp stand out is the tap controls. They are very intuitive and responsive and a welcome change from most lamps that you have to twist knobs or flick switches. The customizable brightness settings work well- I like the ability to switch between all of the different light settings and brightness levels. The one complaint I would have is that not a great light for long hours of work. The light from this lamp is great to light up the desk and also for shorter reading sessions- so it will work well for a lot of people. However for me even the brightest setting did cause me to strain my eyes a bit as I was working with paper documents for a few hours. Overall I liked this lamp and have moved it from my desk to the nursery where the low ambient light setting is perfect for midnight feeding sessions with my baby. The warm light setting doesn't hyper-stimulate him and allows him to get back to sleep and is very gentle on my eyes at 3am. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this lamp to review.

TRU RED Portable Lamp
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've found the TRU RED portable lamp to be a pretty versatile addition to our home. Regarding the design and style it is very modern looking but also innocuous so it sort of blends in wherever you put it which I really like. The bottom has some weight to it so it feels really stable while also being light and easy to move from room to room. I've had it for a couple weeks or so and have only actually charged it once so it seems to hold its charge very well. And most importantly to mention- this lamp really is easy on your eyes! I don't think I realized how many of the lamps I own are designed in a way that the light inadvertently ends up being directed at my eyes (while also illuminating my work area). This lamp is designed in a way that the light is directed down towards your work space so that it illuminates the area without the harshness. I also love the option to adjust the brightness and tone of light pretty easily with the touch pad on top. So far I have found this lamp useful all over my house. My husband and I have used it as a desk lamp in our home office but it really does have so many other uses. I like to bring it into my bedroom to use as a reading lamp and I've especially liked using it to set up a little area to do my own gel nails or to trim my toddlers tiny nails. The extra light has made it so much easier to see what I'm doing and to be more precise. My family is going camping in a few weeks and we will honestly probably bring this little lamp with us for that too! The versatility of this little lamp is honestly the biggest selling point for me. The one complaint I have so far is that the touch pad on the top that allows you to adjust the tone and brightness seems to be a little finicky. I often have to play with it a bit to get it to work properly. Usually shutting it off and on again using the button on the bottom will solve that problem for me though. Also I should mention that I did receive this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Great Lamp
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Tru Red Portable LED Lamp is great. I love the sleek design that fits perfectly in my work-in-progress crafting area that is black and white. You have to click a button on the bottom to turn the light on but after that you can just tap the top to change the lighting temperature or hold it to dim or brighten. I love having all of those options especially when taking pictures of my work. It comes with a USB cable but you will need your own adaptor or device to plug it into for charging. I received this from Stellar Product Testing Panel but all opinions are my own.

Best lighting for small spaces
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Christiana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lamp is great! I received this lamp as a Stellar Product Testing item and I’m so glad I did! It has 3 settings and is rechargeable and portable. I really loved using it as a piano light reading light and a small light when it’s dark. The only disadvantage was that it is not bright enough to be a full on office lamp or primary lamp in a large space. This is an advantage of you are looking for a small bedside light for your room where I also used it! It was so convenient to move from place to place that I tried it nearly everywhere! It is very lightweight and the tones of light are very nice. There is a white tone light a regular light and a warm toned light which fit every lighting need. It is super easy to turn on and to switch settings by tapping and holding the top for brightness adjustment. So happy to have this modern and functional lamp in my possession!

A light I never knew I needed

from Glenside
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received this light through Steller Product testing I didn’t think much. It’s a light big deal. Boy was I wrong. I plugged it in to charge and discovered that this low profile portable light could do so much! From its multiple cool to warm levels dimmable options and portability I was blown away. It’s a great addition to adding light on my desk while working but it’s also great to grab and bring to the couch when I’m reading! No cords woo hoo! The only downside is it doesn’t provide enough light to help during virtual meeting but otherwise a great little addition to my WFH life.

The lamp I never knew I needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the opportunity to experience the TRU RED Portable Lamp This product has enhanced my workspace! It's the modern portable lamp that I never knew I needed. This innovative lamp received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel has not only enhanced the aesthetics of my surroundings but has also significantly improved the way I work especially in terms of eye comfort and productivity. First and foremost The design is outstanding and standouts. Its sleek modern aesthetic effortlessly complements any decor making it an attractive addition to professional and personal spaces The lamp's portability is a game changer. No longer tied down by electrical outlets. I can take this lamp anywhere and everywhere. Whether working on the patio or at a dim corner in my home the TRU RED Portable Lamp shines brightly. I recently charged my lamp and had it on stand by during a recent hurricane thanks to the rechargeable feature. I knew if the lights went out I could still be somewhat productive. The customizable settings are fantastic. I crank up the brightness during intense work session to keep focus and fail it down in the evening to create a cozy ambiance as I am winding down my day. These features allow for the illumination I need to be changed which goes along way with reducing eye fatigue and stress during long work days. The battery also caught my attention. I charged the lamp upon receiving it and it ran for 6 days (on a lower setting) without having to be recharged. That was pretty impressive. In conclusion the sleek and modern portable lamp by TRU RED is a 11 on a scale from 1-10! It's aesthetic portability customizable settings charge life set it apart from any lamp I've owned or used. This lamp has become an essential tool for enhancing productivity comfort and overall look of my space after all who doesn't want a cool office! I'm grateful to Stellar Product Review for introducing me to this lamp which I have integrated into my daily life. If you are in the market for a new lamp this would be my recommendation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lamp is beyond perfect for what I need! I love that it’s battery operated so that way if the power goes out I still have something to use. The three settings were perfect and worked great to use around my children while they were sleeping. I love how portable and light weight it is. This light definitely gets a lot of use out of me. I received this lamp from Stellar Product Testing Panel for free but all opinions are my own.
