Best work lamp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this lamp from the Stellar product testing panel and I LOVE this lamp for my office!! I work in a school where there are huge fluorescent lights in the room. I share an office and we both prefer to keep those lights off and use lamps in our room. This lamp fits perfectly on my desk as it’s compact. The re-chargeable design makes it easy to move it anywhere without worrying about cords in your space or not reaching the outlet. I love how the light has not only 3 settings but also how you can brighten or dim those settings! I will say as the lamp is small I wouldn’t recommend it to brighten an entire room but it does great to give light on my desk with my paperwork! The battery lasts a full work day. I just plug it in overnight so when I come the next day I’m able to unplug and use it freely. I keep this lamp at work but it would even be great at night on a nightstand while reading a book.

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.

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.

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!

[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.

Small lamp that packs a mighty punch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First I would like to thank the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this desk lamp. This lamp is very space friendly and it was able to fit in the tightest corner of my desk and provide ample light to my dark office. I placed the lamp by my computer monitor so along with the light emitted from that I was able to still write notes if needed without a great impact on my eyes. I think the customizable brightness setting is a great addition. I really prefer the warm setting since computers emit blue light. I also like that the lamp is rechargeable and it isn't tied down to a power cord. I would definitely recommend this lamp.

The future of lamp swgogn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening the box I knew the TRU RED Portable Lamp was special. The design is modern yet functional. I love how easy it is to transport. I am currently using the lamp in my classroom. It is just the right size. Another incredible feature is the three different brightness settings. These can be adjusted to fit the mood of my classroom on a daily basis! For me I love turning out the overhead lights and using the TRU RED Portable Lamp while writing lesson plans grading papers or taking a brain break from teaching! What a unique and functional lamp! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this desk lamp.

Nice rechargeable desk lamp great for daily use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this desk lamp. I have been use it everyday since received it and I really enjoy having this lamp on my computer desk. The design of the lamp is very clean and modern. It matches the style of my working area simple but functional sleek but low profile. I life the design that only one physical button at the bottom of the lamp and it can be fully controlled by the touch panel at the top. The lamp is almost fully made with metal very well built. It has a good weight to it so it stands very firmly on my desk and won't be knocked over by accident. This is really a plus for me I do have some other rechargeable lamps that do not have a secure base that can cause some troubles. Although the lamp neck is not bendable or adjustable due to the medal built I used it as a note holder with couple mini magnets. This added extra fun and function to it. The lamp has 3 options for the light color and also let you dim the light. You can definitely find the best setting for your eyes. All adjustment can be controlled by the touch panel but I wish it can be turned off by DOUBLE TAP and maybe remember my setting when turns on instead of have to go thru all 3 light colors to turn off. The battery holds the power pretty well. I usually only needs to charge once a week and can use it continuously during my work hours. I also keep it charged before the hurricane it will be really handy if power goes out. One of my favorite parts is the Type-c charging port it allows me to find a charger easily anywhere. I did try to figure out how big the battery is but I couldn't find it anywhere. I think it would be an issue if you try to take the lamp onto a flight as carry on. All in all I like the lamp very much. I am very happy to be able to get my hands on it and will continue using it daily. If you also need a rechargeable desk lamp a portable camping lamp a wireless bedside lamp...I definitely will recommend this TRU RED lamp to you!
