Very Cool Concept

from Willowick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this light as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and previously didn’t know much about productivity lighting. I use a ring light for online meetings but otherwise had never really considered the lighting in my home office. I read through the manual and made sure I was using the right lighting at the right times and I do feel like it made me more productive although I was also more aware of my work since I was using the light. (Regardless more productive is more productive!) I love that the light has a stand and also a monitor clip which gave me options for where to place it. The pill shape is sleek and cute so it fits in with my office decor (much better than my ugly ring light). It’s super easy to operate and the manual explains when to use each setting. I liked the productivity mode best but also used the meeting mode often for meetings and I like the “ritual” of changing from meeting to productivity because it helped me change my mindset between work functions. I travel for work and I like the compact size because I can easily toss this into my bag and bring it with me and it doesn’t take up much space.

Great light with so many functions
on April 10, 2025
Posted by: R.T.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Brightwell Light from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is designed to clip onto a computer monitor or sit on a desk and provide various forms of lighting that can be used as extra light for more focus mood boosting breathing/relaxation or to let others know that you are busy. While I do not work in a setting where I would need the red busy light I can imagine it would be perfect in some settings where interruptions occur more than preferred. My absolute favorite part of the light is “focus mode” because it displays two different settings with an array of colors (pink purple orange blue yellow) that rhythmically change. The colors are much more vibrant than able to capture with photo. Another function of the light I like is how you can also switch between cool and warm tones depending on what you need for whatever setting you are in. Overall this is a great light and would be especially useful for someone who works in a shared office space with other individuals.

Fantastic addition to my workspace

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The light boasts a sleek modern and compact design making it ideal for any desk setup. Its versatility is enhanced by the option to mount it on a laptop monitor or use it with the included desktop stand. This light offers five distinct modes: Meeting Focus Happy Breathing and Busy each tailored to different work scenarios. My personal favorite is the Focus mode which provides up to 10 000 LUX brightness—perfect for tasks that require intense concentration. The Breathing mode is also noteworthy offering guided breathing to reduce stress and improve focus. Since incorporating this lamp into my daily routine I've noticed a significant improvement in my productivity. The adjustable brightness and color temperature settings allow me to customize the lighting to suit my needs reducing eye strain. The various modes help set the right ambiance whether I'm in a meeting or deep in focus. What stands out most is the light's adaptability. The combination of multiple lighting modes adjustable settings and portability makes it a versatile tool for enhancing work efficiency. Overall the Brightwell Light is a well-designed functional and valuable addition to any workspace. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office light.

Delightful Productivity Light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am delighted by my Brightwell Light! I received this handy light to test from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am so pleased with it! This productivity light mounts perfectly on my laptop or can stand independently on my desk. The “busy” setting has aided in my ability to focus when I am working in my shared office space or at home with my children present. When I have a task that needs my uninterrupted attention I can easily turn the busy light on and stay focused without feeling rude for turning people away. This has lowered my stress level when I am working on research or preparing lessons at school and at home! This little light has multiple focus modes and color settings as well as a stress reducing breathing guide! My favorite mode is the Focus Mode with a colorful rhythmic light pattern that cycles through warm and cool colors. I also love that it has a Happy Mode with a one hour countdown- this is great when tackling a project that I might be struggling with or have the temptation to postpone. The lights are dimmable and the rhythmic light has speed adjustments as well. This light is small and lightweight but very bright and efficient. It came with a Type C cord that includes a USB adapter- so handy! I can plug it into my laptop or a wall charger so it is very easy to take with me to my different workspaces. I am a teacher and I love my Brightwell light!

Bright bright light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one cool compact light that have really enjoyed having. The look and design is simple and modern. Very sleek. It has five different modes and the modes are really neat. Never seen a light like this. The lamp helped me stay productive! How!?! The light can be set according to your mood. The brighter I made it the more I was able to accomplish. Also has a busy signal. Coworkers won't bother you when there is a large busy signal to warn them you are hard at work. I also think the light has a calming effect to. Especially the pink and blue. It gives a lava light effect that is very soothing. I liked the different settings of the light the most. It is easily changed according to your mood and work status. Easy to use and multiple levels of brightness which I appreciate with my sensitive eyes. This product was received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! However I do believe this is an amazing product.

Portable Meeting and Productivity Light
on April 10, 2025

from Avon Lake
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brightwell Light I received from the Stellar Product Testing Panel has been extremely helpful for video calls as I work from home. The working light mode is very flattering by reducing shadows and helping to present a polished and professional look. I have also enjoyed using the focus light mode and the colors help keep me on task. I do not have much use for the busy light but could see how it would be helpful in an office. The light itself is easy to use as it plugs in directly to your computer. It is easy to set up on multiple surfaces. It has a mount for your monitor for video calls or can be used as a stand on your desk which simply attaches to the back of the light for storage. Overall I would highly recommend for anyone working from home or that takes multiple video calls per day.

Really neat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really enjoying this new Brightwell Productivity Light! It doesn't take up a lot of space in my work area and I really appreciate that I can use it on its own sitting on my desk or that I can clip it to the side of my laptop when I want to work elsewhere. The set up was done quickly and changing between the different light modes couldn't be any easier. My favorite of the modes are the meeting light and the ambient light though my husband likes the busy light as well. The light looks nice on its own too and doesn't stick out as something that doesn't belong in my work area. I like it a lot and definitely plan to keep using it! Thank you so much to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to try this light for free!

Great Idea needs improvements
on April 10, 2025
Posted by: K.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this office light to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was excited to try this out and really wanted to love it but there are some issues. The look is nice and clean and the interface is easy to use. I was expecting it to be bigger. It clipped on well to my laptop but for the desktop office monitor the wire got in the way of securely hanging on. The side screen mount and the power cord are on the same side and make it difficult to put on a monitor and looks crooked. It would be better if the wire was on the opposite side or the mount could be put on both sides. There are 5 modes for this light. The meeting mode is really helpful for lighting up your face in a virtual meeting. The lighting looked really good in the camera. The focus light was soothing and pleasing to have on. The breathing light was so blue it hurt my eyes. The happy mode was nice and bright. I like that on all modes you can adjust the brightness and the warmth on a few of them. The busy signal could be useful in cubicles but if your monitor is facing the wall it would be helpful to have the mount be more versatile so you could face the busy sign facing behind you. I'm not sure if I'm more productive with the light but it does help the strain on my eyes to illuminate the room around the screen.
