Portable and Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This light by Tru Red is so handy. It helps provide task lighting when I am working at a desk. It has three shade options and is dimmable. It is easy to recharge and holds a charge for a long time. I love that it is easily portable and can be moved around without cords. It is easy to turn on and adjust by tapping the top of the light. I love the sleek modern look. I received a complimentary product from Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.

Many light options and portable though small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work at a desk for 90% of my job and my eyes hurt by the end of the day. So I was very excited to try this lamp! It was smaller than I anticipated but the amount of light it produces more than makes up for it. I love the many different light settings and how it adjusts gradually so you can really find the level that works for you. It is super light weight so moving it from location to location is very easy. I actually liked it best as a reading light next to my bed as I could set the light dim enough so it didn't bother my husband but I could still read. And it works as a lantern if you have to get up in the night but don't want to turn on a light or use a flashlight! My 6-year-old really liked it too so I let her use it at her desk. Because there's no cord it's very use to use in all sorts of places! Only criticism is that occasionally I would have to tap the lamp a couple of times before it would register my touch to turn the light on or off. Would definitely recommend though! I took pictures to show the size and different light settings but my phone tried to correct the lighting levels so it's even more drastic in person. I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Great lamp

[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 Mighty Moveable Lamp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TRU RED definitely hit their mark with their Portable LED Lamp. When I first unboxed the lamp I was impressed with the modern design that somewhat resembles a tiny barbell. The size of it was also favorable as the footprint is that of an average coffee mug. I also noticed that it uses a Type C USB charger which is super convenient when recharging is needed since they are readily available. The lamp is somewhat light in weight but does have enough weight that makes it not feel flimsy. The bottom has a rubber type grip so the lamp won’t slide on a smooth surface. The on/off button is at the bottom as well. Next I fired the lamp up to see how well it lights the surrounding area. It was quite bright! There are three settings (5K cool 4k Neutral and 3K warm) that can be used based on your preferences. I preferred the 5K setting because of how it brightens up the room as well as the surrounding area. My husband had an important test that he needed to prepare for so he used the lamp when studying and it was easy for him to rearrange his laptop books etc. in order to have an efficient workspace. My husband liked the 3K light because he said it was easier on his eyes and less blinding. The last mention that is necessary is the toddler test. We have a son who is close to one and a half who took an interest in the lamp right out of the box. He’s not the gentlest with handling items but the lamp stood up to a toddler without being damaged. He also loved the top of the lamp that needs to be tapped to change the brightness which he changed quite often. My son wanted the lamp next to him when he was coloring and reading a book. The charge also lasted for a relatively long time even with our routine use. I’m very impressed with this lamp and am happy to have it. I may get another one to put in our son’s room too! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the TRU RED Portable Lamp.

Portable and seriously lightweight
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: NurseMom
from Lafayette
[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!

Stylish and Sleep Desk Portable Desk Lamp
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Nike Shrug
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Working from home for the past several years has been a really positive experience for me. I'm able to work from the comfort of my home and tend to work in many different areas of my house. I also work at different times of day so I was searching for a lamp that I could use in the early morning hours and/or in the evenings. I also wanted something chargeable that didn't have to be plugged in so that I could take it with me to different rooms that I might be working from. Enter the TRU RED Portable Lamp! WOW talk about nailing everything I was looking for! I love that this lamp has a modern look much like my office and doesn't distract from other elements of my space. It has three settings two of which are really gentle on the eyes for those early morning or later night work sessions. Additionally as I mentioned it's easy to charge and so lightweight I can take it with me wherever I choose to work throughout the day! Overall there is not much more I was looking for in a lamp and I was so fortunate to try this one out for free from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I've used it nearly daily since I received it and definitely intend to use it more going forward!

The Most Amazing Little Desk Lamp
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Jay
from Halethorpe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First I must say thank you to the Stellar Testing Panel for gifting me this desk lamp in exchange for my honest opinions. I run a small business from home in the beauty industry and work long hours with many late nights. This lamp was the perfect fit for my desk. I had been on the hunt for a small sleek desk lamp that wouldn't take up to much space. I love that this lamp is wireless and you are able to move it to any space that's needed so effortlessly. There's no cords to get in the way. I love how you tap it to turn it on and off. You also tap it to switch through the three different brightness modes. My eyes get so tired in the evenings and often feel strained working late nights. It's so nice to use the dimmer lights to give my eyes a rest. You can also control the brightness of each light mode by simply pressing the top of the lamp. This little lamp has truly impressed me and I highly recommend to any other small business owners. It would also be great for anyone who is looking for a portable touch lamp with adjustable light features.
