Breathe slowly
on September 18, 2025
Posted by: C.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved how this light clipped onto the top of my monitor so it didn’t take up any room in my desk. I really liked the breathing exercise mode of the light to remind me to breathe. Breathing deeply with your diaphragm expands your rib cage to fill your lungs with air. However this range of motion while seated decreases by 33% according to an MRI study. So in general you should get up after sitting for 20 min and use a standing desk if possible and use this light to remember to breathe! Also the video mode gives me a good glow when I’m on a conference call!

Portable and Effective Productivity Light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little light to enhance focus bring calm and assist with meetings at home and on the go. The light weight and small size of this light make it a great work travel companion. The design is minimalistic and sleek. I appreciate that the light is only thing to focus on while working. The simple design means there is nothing else to distract me. It's super easy to attach to your screen or simply stand up on your desk or table and I love that it plugs directly into my laptop - no need to find an outlet or keep extra batteries on hand! To be honest I wasn't really sure that the benefits of a productivity light would outweigh the fact that it's one more thing to bring along but I was happily surprised. I found that each of the 5 light options really enhanced my work or relaxation experience. I particularly appreciated the happy mode. We've had a lot of stormy gray days recently and just adding this little light to my work and study experience really helped to brighten up some otherwise dreary days. The meeting mode was also great for helping me look my best during video meetings and providing great clarity. I love that the brightness and temperature of the light are adjustable so that you can get it just right for each setting. For me the only downfall of this light is that it's so lightweight that it's pretty easy to knock over when you're using the stand. However as I previously mentioned I also love how lightweight it is for travel purposes and it can be clipped directly into your screen to help avoid this. Since the light is pretty sturdy despite the fact that it's compact and lightweight I'm definitely willing to overlook this downfall. I am so thankful that Stellar Product Testing Panel gave me the opportunity to try out this light. I have really enjoyed putting all the settings to use and becoming more productive in the process.

I love the touch button simplicity but what would have made this a 5 star product - ability to select time increments for each of the 4 settings. Keep the simple buttons but let the user pick the 10 min increment for focus to finish a quick task and once the light turns off it’s a signal to move to the next task. They can then set the meeting to 30 mins so the light turning off is a signal to wrap it up. The current increments are fine but just not helpful. Also a better stand for the light because it’s not a universal setup for monitors. Bring me back when this gets updated

Cool Product
on April 8, 2025

[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. The Brightwell light is a cool product that my son and I enjoyed trying out. It was easy to use and my 8 year old could operate it just fine. The color changing temperate is a neat feature. We wish that it had a battery option so it didn’t always need to be plugged in that is why we gave it 4/5 stars.

Lots of lighting modes like the fold down stand. Wish had built in battery. Wish was a little heavier.

Multiuse lamp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brightwell Light’s design is clean and minimal but what really surprised me was how good the lighting is for product photos; sharp even no weird color casts. I use the focus mode most of the time and it gives everything this crisp clarity that makes editing way easier. The touch controls are smooth and the adjustable arm makes it easy to get the angle right. It’s one of those tools that just quietly does its job really well and actually makes a difference in how I work. There are different settings for the light’s warmth intensity and color which makes it the perfect multi-use light. I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Could be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested this light during the hours of my workday and I have to say it was just okay. I’ll start with the fact that I liked that it was very bright it made for better focus and vision. Some things I noticed that I wasn’t a fan of but were that the side buttons were very hard to press. I also wish that it had a battery instead or was rechargeable you have to plug it in for it to work and so you just have loose wire present. I also am not sure what the purpose of the small ‘busy’ light is on the front I understand the big one on the back is to alert people if you are in a meeting etc but the small one on the front has no purpose? Overall it’s an okay light but I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend to others. I received this product through the stellar product testing panel.
