Perfect workspace lighting
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Small but mighty
from Raleigh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TRU RED Portable Lamp is the easiest most convenient lamp to have in any workstation. This lamp has 3 customizable settings with the tap of a finger which allows proper lighting to reduce eyestrain in your workspace. The best part about this portable lamp is the fact that it is cordless and sleek. I truly love how this lamp looks amazing and fits perfectly in any space not just a workspace. My favorite setting is the dim light setting which is amazing for my late night reading sessions. The one complaint I have is that while changing the settings with the tap of a finger is convenient that area is also very sensitive and can easily be turned to another setting or off. Overall this is a wonderful well built lamp that will illuminate any room it’s put it. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this lamp to test and review!

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.

Easy to transport and easy on the eyes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TRU RED Portable Lamp is a cute little companion that is easy on the eyes in several different ways! The design is very modern lightweight and compact. The white color compliments almost any room in my house which is especially great because in addition to being stylish this little guy is super portable! When I first got it I intended to use it mainly for my home office to help with my eye strain when I work late into the evenings. I struggle with glare as well as migraines which can make me very sensitive to bright lights. This was the perfect because it provides a very gentle glow that can surprisingly light the whole room and bonus - worked great for zoom calls without horrific shadows! However I have also found myself carrying it into my bedroom in the evening as I wind down for bed. You can cycle through 3 different light temperatures and the warm light is perfect for starting to decompress. You can also dim the light from 100% down to 10% which is definitely one of my favorite features! I could get ready for bed and continue to tone it down to read my book without keeping my partner awake. It can sometimes be a little tricky figuring out the tapping the top of the light (which changes the temperature) from the pressing (which dims the light) which is the only reason I docked it a star. It's charge lasts forever and I can use my same USB-C chargers that are scattered throughout my house already. I honestly find this light so useful I'm already planning on taking it camping! Thanks to the Stellar Testing Panel for providing me and my eyes with this super useful little light to test and review.

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!

The Most Amazing Little Desk Lamp
on October 15, 2023

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.

Bright and portable but controls are iffy

from Madison
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this lamp as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This little light is super compact and packs a lot of output into the small package and in three different color temperatures. I used it for some hand craft work and the design is such that I could put it on the arm of the couch or the floor next to me and take eye saving light wherever I was working without the pain of a headlamp or the challenge of a cord. I appreciate that it charges by USB-C (and came out of the box with a seemingly full charge). There are two things I would change if I could. The all-in-one tap control is challenging and there seems to be a delay needed between taps or just inconsistent pick-up sometimes I couldn't get it to change and my husband could. The other thing is the tip-over factor there is something about the base shape and height combo that means with the slightest knock this lamp will topple. That said it happened a number of times with my toddler and dogs and it still worked like a charm!

Lightweight and multi functional
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: A.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start out by saying that this portable lightweight and efficient lamp has been very helpful for getting work done with a little extra light! I am very appreciative that I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I tried and tested my portable lamp in a variety of settings. Due to the fact that it is portable and lightweight it’s very easy to move throughout a variety of settings. It was helpful for getting work completed on the computer especially at night. It also came in handy while working on my puzzle. The lamp comes with a USB cord for charging and it holds a pretty long charge. The lamp has a touch design which makes it simple to switch between the 3 light settings and turn on and off. The options for lighting depend on personal preference and testing out all three gave me the opportunity to see which one worked best. I chose the brighter one for non computer work and the softer setting for screen time. I like the design of the light and it’s just tall enough to shine light over my computer screen it’s not bulky easy to carry with its slim design and has a modern look. I had time to play with that light to see where the lighting was best behind the computer or to the side. I found that based on where I was working the light could easily be moved and adjusted to reduce eye strain and making the lighting ideal. Like I said earlier this lamp has help in not just working on the computer but other activities throughout the home. For example with my puzzle lighting for coloring with my child building legos and more! Another great benefit to this light is it does not need to be plugged in all the time so you can pick it up and take it anywhere. So if you ever lose power go camping or are somewhere without lighting you can use this to light your space. This is a great option for reducing eye strain when working and helping you see whatever it is you need to! It’s not just a computer lamp but so much more!!
