Fun Productivity Device

from McCordsville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brightwell Light is fun and functional. It lets your coworkers know that you’re in the zone with the Busy function. Also the lighting is very helpful during video calls especially when you’re in low light. The breathing mode and the focus mode are also great and they helped me concentrate and feel relaxed. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With a middle schooler aged homeschooler this light has given her the opportunity to communicate with the family when she’s in an online class or study mode! Her ability to communicate without being “rude” of when she cannot be distracted was so helpful and the color changing lights helped her to focus better and the meeting light was helpful when she in her classes to be better seen! It is a great product! Highly recommend thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this product!

Love allthe options SO versatile

from Phoenixville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the size and design of this light! It is nice and compact and can be set in two different angles (shining vertically or horizontally).It is also compact and lightweight enough that you could travel with it as well! Having touch buttons on the front is also super helpful and can make it quick and easy to turn on the light if someone’s calling you or you’re about to talk into a meeting. I love the concept of the “busy mode” but have not used that one yet since I have only used this at my home office but I love how portable and lightweight the light is so that I can take it into the office when I work hybrid. I am more likely to use it there. (My husband also tried to steal it because this function would be very helpful for him at his office. Thinking I’ll have to get him one too! I have used all of the other modes and have found them all to be helpful. My desk is in front of a window but the light helps on rainy or cloudy days. I have trouble focusing sometimes during the day and the focus setting is so peaceful and engaging. turning it on sort of act as a trigger for me to “turn on my brain” into focus mode. I think my favorite is the box breathing though! I have the light right next to a grounding texture sticker on my laptop and they are the perfect combination when I need a little anxiety “calm down” during the day! I organize staff gifts at my company and I think this light would be the perfect addition for a little wellness basket especially as we approach May which is mental health awareness month! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office light!

Perfect Product for Productivity

from Hazlet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only been using the Brightwell 5-in-1 Productivity Light for about a week now after receiving it as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel but I have noticed my productivity has increased significantly. I work out of my home office which is pretty dark with minimal sunlight exposure through the one window so this light is helpful as it mimics natural daylight. I love that it only takes 5 seconds to set up by simply plugging it in and pressing a button. It also doesn’t take up too much space which is helpful in my cluttered office. I didn’t notice a major difference the first day but after a few days I started feeling less groggy and a little more focused during work. The only thing it’s lacking is the cord length. Depending on your office setup this could be an issue for some people that need a longer cord. I would also appreciate a dimming feature instead of simply an on/off feature. Overall I’m enjoying the results this productivity light has brought me so far.

Small but Mighty

from Pittsburgh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Brightwell Light to test as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. While the design of this light is small the light capabilities are mighty! As a remote worker with limited desk space I love that I can either stand it up on my desk or hang it from my computer. I also love that the brightness can be adjusted. Hands down my favorite feature is the "lava lamp" setting--it makes me happy when I have it on next to me while I work. I do wish the clip for the top of my monitor was a little more flexible as the light is a bit wobbly on top of my monitor. I also wish the light could be chargeable or contain batteries so that I do not have to find a plug for it each time I want to use it. Would I have purchased this light before testing it? Probably not. Do I love it now that I have it? Absolutely!

A great product for productivity and lighting

from Pacific Palisades
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This desk lamp has truly been a game-changer for my workspace offering both stylish aesthetics and practical functionality. Here's a breakdown of my experience. I was immediately impressed by the sleek and modern design of this light. It doesn't look bulky or intrusive on my desk; instead it adds a touch of understated elegance. Overall the look and design are both aesthetically pleasing and functional seamlessly blending into my workspace. The five distinct lighting modes is a fantastic feature each thoughtfully designed for specific needs. Meeting Light (Ring Light): This mode is a brilliant addition for virtual meetings. The even diffused light significantly improved my appearance on camera eliminating harsh shadows and providing a more professional look. Happy Light: Simulating natural sunlight this mode offered a bright and invigorating light. On overcast days it provided a much-needed boost helping to elevate my mood and energy levels. Breathing Light: This unique mode gently moves in a rhythmic pattern designed to guide through calming breathing exercises. While I didn't use it constantly for work it was a welcome feature for taking short mindfulness breaks. Focus Light: This mode provided a cool and concentrated light ideal for tasks requiring intense concentration. It felt like it sharpened my focus and helped me stay on track. Relax Light: Emitting a warm and soft glow this mode was perfect for unwinding after work. It created a comfortable and soothing ambiance making it ideal for reading or simply relaxing at my desk. While all the modes offered valuable benefits my most frequently used and favorite mode was the Focus Light. It helped me stay engaged and productive during demanding work sessions. I noticed a tangible improvement in my ability to concentrate when using this mode. This lamp has undeniably contributed to my productivity in several ways. Firstly the ability to adjust the light intensity and color temperature allowed me to optimize my workspace lighting for specific tasks. The bright focused light helped combat afternoon slumps and kept me feeling more engaged with my work. Secondly the elimination of harsh shadows and glare significantly reduced eye strain. This meant I could work for longer periods without feeling the usual fatigue and discomfort that can hinder productivity. Finally the intuitive controls and easy adjustability meant I could quickly adapt the lighting to my needs without interrupting my workflow. It's a subtle but powerful tool that has made a noticeable difference in my focus and efficiency. What I liked most about this light is its versatility and the thoughtful design that prioritizes both aesthetics and functionality. The five distinct lighting modes cater to a wide range of needs. It's not just a light; it's a tool that actively enhances my workspace and contributes to a more comfortable and productive environment. The stylish design is also a significant bonus making it a pleasant addition to my desk setup. Overall this lamp offers a fantastic combination of form and function. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office light.

Neat idea but room for improvement

from Dupont
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the idea behind this light but it could be improved. I was excited about being able to clip it to my monitor but then it was difficult to reach and fell off easily unless perfectly balanced. The light pattern was neat and I did like to use it occasionally like you may use a lava lamp. For me personally remembering to turn on and off the “busy” light was hard to remember but I can see the usefulness behind the idea. Without being able to hold a charge placement is also limited by the cord length I think the ability to charge this light would help tremendously giving the ability to use it in other settings such as a portable night light. Ultimately I appreciate the idea behind the multiple features of this light and can see that it could be a productive addition but I believe a few tweaks could really make it a stand out addition to any office or workspace. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this office light!

Unique office light to boost productivity
on April 9, 2025
Posted by: Kat
from New York
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Brightwell office light. This office light is a must have for those who work remotely or have video calls and meetings. Upon opening the package I was impressed by the sleek and modern design. The office light is portable and lightweight which is perfect for my needs. I work remotely a few times a week and have many virtual meetings. the Brightwell 5-in-1 productivity light is a very handy device with 5 unique light modes. There's a Busy Light Meeting Light Happy Light Focus Light and Breathing Light. My favorite light is the Meeting mode. This light is like a ring light and made a big difference in my video calls. My video quality looks brighter and crisp which makes it look more professional. The light is easy to bring along if you ever need to have a meeting in another room or if you want to bring it with you to use in the office. The light has 5 easy to use modes and a changeable kickstand. It has easy to use buttons on the touch panel and allows you to switch through the modes easily. My other favorite light is the Busy mode. This is so useful when you don't want people to disturb you. If I'm working remotely my family members know that I'm busy and not to distract me. When I'm in the office my colleagues can see that I'm busy and not interrupt - this is incredibly helpful if you work in an office with an open space! The other light modes are amazing too. The Happy Light is a cool and unique feature. I have tried it and it does seem to make a difference. The Happy Light lifts my mood especially on rainy or gloomy days when there's just not enough sunlight in the room. The Focus Light is something that I've never used before but found it helpful while brainstorming. It keeps me focused and the light is pretty to look at too. The Breathing mode is unique and I like how it reminds me to destress. Overall this office light is a cool device and helped me with my productivity. I think the Happy and Breathing Light is very unique and serves as an important reminder to take care of one's mental health and well-being.
