Tru Red Portable touch light
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: B.G.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Tru Red light. It has been a game changer for every outside lighting transition. I can be working at my desk with the low light setting during the day then if i have paperwork (vs a computer) or in the evenings i can tap the light and have a high light setting. I've even brought it outside sitting on the porch and had perfect lighting for family supper. I would recommend this light to anyone that needs a solution for a rechargeable lamp that actually emits enough light to do whatever it's needed for. I received this product for my review on the Stellar panel.

Portable and bright

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the TRU RED portable lamp as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This lamp is great! It’s lightweight and easily portable. I charged it up and took it to my desk where I have limites lighting options. I can position this lamp where I need on mu desk to accommodate zoom calls or reading written reports. No cord to rethread around monitors when I move it. The lamp has three light settings so I can adjust the level of light I want based on my needs. The lamp turns on just by tapping the top so it’s easy to turn off and on at a moment’s notice without hunting for a switch or pull cord. I have only charges this lamp once but it’s lasted 2 weeks of on and off work at my desk. This is a very handy lamp. I recommend it.

Awesome Portable Lamp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in the Pacific NW lighting is very important. Outside of few months in the summer we're dealing with dark and gray most of the year. It is an understatement when you say lighting is important around here. I was given this desk lamp to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The design and portability is amazing. Also the brightness can be adjusted with one finger. The modern design males the lamp very sleek and can be put anywhere in the house. We have a bookshelf in the corner with no outlet. It was an unusable space because it was dark. But with our new portable lamp I was able to fully utilize that space. Also 3 different lighting options on the lamp makes it easy on the eyes. Love my new Tru Red Portable Lamp!

Makes a huge game changer if the power goes out! Huge help! Will be purchasing more for other parts of the house! I received the product from Stellar Product Testing Panel and it’s a huge game changer!

Surprisingly super useful for more than expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this lamp as part of the Steller product review panel. This lamp is not what I expected. The size is adorable and super conviennent and the light packs a punch. In the first day of use I was able to use it in three unique ways. The first was below the kitchen sink to light the space when fixing a leak- the cold light setting was perfect for this- 2nd was changing my babies diaper on a changing table that is not normally lit due to the location. The warm light setting kept it easy on his eyes and 3rd illuminate a shelf for dim lit movie light. During the rest of the week the lamp stayed mostly on my desk for use during work. The size was perfect it didn’t take valuable workspace. I used the dimming feature at night and for early morning work call. During the day I found the high setting was ample light for such a small lamp. You can tap the side of the lamp to change color settings with ease. All in all I really like this cute lamp. It is super helpful around the house!

Great Versatile LED Lamp with Multiple Settings
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: H Drizzle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to receive the TRU RED Portable lamp because I try to minimize eye strain and blue light exposure as much as possible. I was given this desk lamp to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Upon receiving the lamp I examined the box’s information and marketing materials. The information provided was clear concise and helpful. I knew exactly how to work the lamp just by reading the box and I really appreciated the visuals. The lamp was packaged very well and the directions manual was easy to understand. I wished the manual told me a little more about the product; what was the science behind the different settings? Did the different settings block out different levels of blue light? Generally how does light cause eye strain? Typically how can each setting be used? (the photos on the box’s side were the only indication of how the lamp could be used). I loved that I could take the lamp out of the box and begin to use it (no need to charge right away). The design was sleek minimal and pleasing to the eye. The design was also considerate; the light did not shine up into my eyes when standing over it nor did the light directly hit my eyes when sitting down. At times I found the touch button to be finicky; however this could be user error. I had to touch it just the right way to make it work. I also found myself questioning if I could take off the touch sticker for a more sophisticated look; ( it would have been nice if this was mentioned in the manual). The sticker was affixed to the lamp pretty well so I decided not to force it off in case it was necessary for its use. I began using the lamp at my work desk in place of the harsher overhead lights. Depending on my mood and time of day I liked all the light settings for completing my work. While I had used a lamp before with different diming settings I had never seen or used a lamp with different lighting settings; this made the lamp very unique. My eyes definitely felt less strained then a typical day of using the overhead fluorescent lights. I enjoyed using this lamp so much and it was so easy to move from one place to another that at the end of the work day I took the lamp home. The possibilities of this lamp exceeded my expectations! I used this lamp not only at work but all around the house. I found myself wanting to turn off overhead lights and use the lamp instead. The lamp was very light and portable and made it a pleasure to move around. The lamp came with me to the kitchen at night the lamp was a flashlight in the dark garage the lamp created mood lighting during sunset and the lamp eased me into waking up in the morning. I found myself thinking “ I wish I had more of these lamps all over the house.” I liked the dimming feature of the lamp; it was easy to use and the directions were very clear. I do wish that the warm setting was even warmer; the warm setting looked warmer on the box photo then in real life. After fully charging the lamp the battery life was excellent and true to its word. I’m not fond of products that do not have a good battery life and have to be charged frequently; this was not the case with the lamp. Additionally I left the lamp on for extended periods of time. The lamp never got hot; it remained cool to the touch as if it was never turned on. Overall I really enjoyed using this lamp. Not only was it aesthetically pleasing and useful but it did help with eye strain. I would definitely recommend this lamp to family and friends. Lastly I’m assuming this lamp would be sold at big box retail or online marketplaces. Once out of the box it definitely looks more expensive that something sold at these places. It is very versatile!

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

An unexpected little joy
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product via the Stellar Product Testing Panel and wasn’t sure what to think when I first received it but to my surprise this lamp has been such a wonderful asset to my home! I prefer my lamps to be a subtle enhancement to my living space not a bold or obnoxious attention-grabbing center piece and this light is exactly that! It is relatively small and neutral colored (white) yet pleasantly modern. Despite its petite size it still gives off plenty of light but can be dimmed when needed. I have sensitive eyes that get irritated easily when light is too bright or when straining to see in light that is not bright enough so being able to adjust the brightness with the touch of your hand has been so helpful. I love being able to adjust the color from daylight/cool to a warmer tone when transitioning from day to night. The reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I do wish that it would retain the setting it was last on instead of reverting back to the cool/daylight tone every time it is turned off then on again because sometimes turning it back on at night can be abrupt until readjusting to the warmer tone. Perhaps my most favorite quality of this lamp is that it is wireless. The last thing I need is another cord to get tangled plus I feel like they can make things so cluttered and messy. Since this light charges via a USB cord you are able to use it cord free making it portable and giving a nice clean look (plus lasts forever on just one charge!). Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed this product as a much needed addition to my home!
