Lightweight and Sleek Lamp
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: K.S.
from Anderson
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lamp was provided was received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The design of the lamp is sleek and simple and allows it to fit just about anywhere. It’s easy to clean and move around. The light settings are not harsh on the eyes and give options for the type of lighting that may work best for a person. You can charge the lamp with the usb cord provided in the box which allows the lamp to be used in places where an outlet or cord are not accessible. The button on the bottom is the only thing that I would change as it is a little inconvenient but but once it is pressed you can tap the touch sensitive area on top of the lamp to adjust the light settings or to continue to tap for no light.

Portable light weight modern lamp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a portable lightweight desk lamp look no further! Pros - sleek modern design - cordless/portable - three shades of light to choose from - touch on and off setting - lightweight Cons - can’t adjust the dimness of light (has three shades but it’s similar brightness) - requires base charger for USB cable provided (need either computer or powerbase to plug in and charge the lamp) - touch on/off function isn’t too sensitive and requires a more firm tap I received this lamp as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I’m glad to have tried out this desk lamp. Hands down a better desk lamp than some of the other ones out in the market. I would purchase on my own. Highly recommend!

Portable and customizable
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a homeschool mom of four and the Stellar Product Testing Panel sent me this light. I was looking for a great light that wouldn’t cause eye strain while I worked on curriculum after the kids went to bed. This light is dimmable with just a touch portable and has 3 different light temperatures! It made late night prepping easy on the eyes.

Convenient Lamp with Limitations
on October 15, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the opportunity to test the Tru Red Portable LED Lamp as part of a campaign through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This sleek lamp boasts one-touch control and three color temperature settings offering the promise of efficient and adjustable lighting. The convenience of its USB-C charging which meant compatibility with existing cords was a standout feature. However my experience with this lamp revealed both positives and limitations that are worth discussing. In terms of design the Tru Red Portable LED Lamp is undoubtedly modern and stylish. Its slim profile and lightweight construction make it highly portable allowing me to move it around effortlessly. Whether I placed it on my desk travelled between offices or took it to a different room in my home its portability was a definite plus. Proper lighting is crucial for me when it comes to working for extended periods and the Tru Red lamp offered adequate illumination. Having the right lighting greatly reduced strain on my eyes during long work sessions and the lamp’s three customizable color temperature settings were a thoughtful addition enabling me to adjust the lighting to suit my preference and the task at hand as the ambient light changed. The lamp’s customizable brightness settings were a convenient feature allowing me to fine-tune the lighting intensity. Whether I needed a soft glow for a calming ambiance or a bright light for focused tasks the Tru Red lamp delivered on flexibility. However despite its positive attributes I did find some limitations. The lamp’s size and total output were not sufficient for all of my needs both at work and home especially when reading documents. The light’s coverage area was limited which made it less functional for tasks that required a broader and more intense illumination. In my workspace and beyond the lamp served well as a supplementary light source for smaller tasks like typing writing or casual reading. Its portability made it easy to bring to different areas of my home but it didn’t quite meet the demands of a primary reading light for documents. In conclusion the Tru Red Portable LED Lamp offers an elegant design portability and customizable lighting settings. Its impact on eye comfort and versatility are noteworthy aspects. Battery life was also impressive. However its limitations particularly its size and brightness for more substantial tasks should be considered depending on your specific lighting needs. While it may not be the ideal solution for comprehensive workspace or intense reading requirements it still serves as a useful addition to smaller tasks and ambient lighting scenarios.

Suitable for a small workspace
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: D.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tru Red portable lamp is a very lightweight portable lamp weights only about 1 pound. The design and color black are pretty neat like a modern type. It’s also wireless so you can move anywhere without a need of having to plug it in. Came with a charging cord so no need for batteries. It’s very easy to use. It has 3 adjustable light settings which you can change by tapping the top part of the lamp. I get migraines often and sometimes can’t tolerate bright lights and being able to adjust the brightness to a very minimum helped a lot. However It’s only good for a small workspace as it doesn’t illuminate much of an area. One of the downfalls is that you have to put it higher than your work area because the lamp illuminates mainly downwards. Another thing is the touch sensor sometimes fails it works just sometimes you have to give it a few seconds and try again. Other than that it met my needs for my workspace area. This product was given to me by Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for an honest review.

It would be a bright idea to choose this lamp
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: H.H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer- I received this product through the stellar product testing panel in return for an honest review and wow am I happy with this product and more than happy to give a 5/5 honest review! What has an aesthetically pleasing design user friendly right out of the box has multiple light settings great battery life can be easily moved & adapts to your needs / workspace? THIS LAMP! Although I use the lamp during the day at my workspace in the office I actually find it most useful during night time to use through the house and for middle of the night feeds for my 10 month old. It has such a “warm” setting that you can adjust the brightness on. I love that it’s not a harsh bright light but it does have a brighter “white” option for during the day. This lamp is so multi purpose and the perfect size with so many great features. I also haven’t had to charge it since getting it ~2 weeks ago very impressive battery life. If I had to point out a con it is that the location to tap to change the settings seems very particular and sometimes I am tapping around to identify it- but I’m sure with more time and use I’ll have it down great. But for new users it seems like a small specific area to tap.

Small lamp that packs a mighty punch
on October 15, 2023

[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.

TRU RED Portable Small But Mighty
on October 15, 2023

from Mission viejo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tru Red portable desk lamp is a must-have for anyone who needs a compact and versatile lighting solution. This lamp is approximately 12" tall with a 4" base and is perfect for small spaces or on-the-go use. The lamp is rechargeable and powered by USB making it easy to use anywhere. One of the standout features of this lamp is its multiple light settings. With a tap on the top of the lamp you can quickly cycle through different settings to find the perfect lighting for your needs. The intensity of the light is impressive for such a small lamp making it ideal for reading or working on projects. While the Tru Red portable desk lamp excels in many areas it could use some improvement in the direction of the light. The lamp only shines down which limits its radius and makes it less practical for illuminating larger spaces. However it's perfect for those late nights when you need just enough light to read in bed without disturbing others. It's compact versatile and easy to use making it a good choice for anyone who needs a reliable and convenient lighting solution. This product was received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
