Bright and fun and compact
on September 16, 2025
Posted by: J.D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This light is such a fun and bright addition to my desktop. With the short cord it’s easy to manage and plug in to my docking station. From there it mounts easily on the monitor or laptop or it can sit at various angles on the desktop - my personal favorite. I like it just to the left of my main monitor to brighten some papers I often keep there for viewing. The cord does not create a tangle or jumble. I tried out and enjoyed all 5 modes but the focus mode is my go-to favorite. I keep it in that mode to brighten my workday and I love it. I usually turn up the warmth slightly and turn down the brightness one tick. Being able to easily fine tune the lighting is very helpful! My office lights go off automatically every 30 minutes so keeping this light on meeting mode when on video calls helped keep me stable and bright. Every time my watch tells me to stand up I do so and then follow up with the breathing mode. It’s a really good reset. The busy mode is easy to toggle in and out of and the instructions are basic and very simple to figure out. I love this light in my work space! I would recommend this to anyone with a dedicated workspace and especially in an open office where the busy indicator could be a helpful cue to those around you.

Gem of a little light

from Oley
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this little desk lamp! It has five stellar modes. My favorite is the happy mode to boost my mood. I also use the guided breathing mode in times of high stress. The busy light allows me to focus and be more productive. My favorite feature is the clip on and stand alone modes. The dual usb cord is also super convenient! I use this little light every day!

Versatile light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Meeting Light mode. It has different color temperatures and brightness settings so I can use it to make me look good when I have to do video conference calls. Before I had this I used my desk lamp or overhead light. They used to put me in dark shadows and a bad color temperature. This light makes things look a lot better. I even use it as lighting for taking photos of objects because I like the color temperature of this light. In addition to that my second my used mode is the Focus Light mode. It is a smooth glowing mix of purples blues and cool colors. It gives my room a relaxing atmosphere when I want to unwind after work in the evening. I also use in-between meetings to help me regain energy. The screen clip and stand being able to switch sides is a nice touch. I just wish this light was wider and bigger sometimes. WIth this light giving me energy when I need it and a mode to help me relax this light has probably increased my productivity and wellbeing. It's pretty versatile and so I'd recommend it to others.

Great desk light
on September 16, 2025

from North Kingstown
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Brightwell Light! This desk light is very easy to use. I like that it plugs into my laptop and can be easily clipped to the top. It is very easy to switch between the different light modes. I prefer the focus and breathing mode when I’m working to help me focus and recenter. I like having meeting mode during my face-to-face calls. The busy signal is great for when I need to work without interruptions. The happy mode gives me a boost when I’m feeling the afternoon slump. My favorite thing about this light is the ability to switch between the different modes depending on what I am doing or what I am feeling throughout the work day.

Too much going on
on September 16, 2025

from Melissa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box I knew I wouldn't use this daily. The light has some neat features but to me the features were distracting and not helpful to make me productive. The breathing light mode is a cool idea but was distracting during work. The busy signal was my favorite part but I think it would be better as a clear bar with the words that face both directions. It was on the back side so if someone was looking at my computer they wouldn't see the sign. The light did have some warm tones which I liked but it still felt too bright for me The part I liked the least was it has to be plugged in. I can't plug this into my work laptop so I had to jerry rig this.

The Ultimate Desk Accessory
on September 16, 2025
Posted by: B.M.
from Morristown
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brightwell 5-in-1 Productivity Light is the best desk accessory I've ever used. Its sleek design fits easily onto my monitor a huge improvement over the bulky awkward high-lumen light I previously used to combat seasonal depression. The fantastic light quality and five distinct modes make this device incredibly versatile. I especially love the "stress-relief" and "focus" settings as well as the box-breathing mode which helps me stay calm and focused on my work. The light quality itself is superb and it provides a bright crisp light without any harshness. Ultimately what I like most about this light is its multifunctionality; it's not just a light it's a tool that genuinely enhances my well-being and productivity. It has become an indispensable part of my daily routine helping me manage my workload more effectively than ever before.

Nice desk accessory with great features
on September 15, 2025

from Waunakee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I think this is a really nice desk accessory. For anyone looking for any of the features they all work well so you can get the one you are looking for (busy signal camera light “Happy” light focus colors or breath coaching) plus all of the others in one convenient package. My favorite mode was the focus colors mode. It added a pop of color and fun to my desk. I think the “happy” light will be great for the darker winter months and the camera light is very convenient to have on hand. I didn’t find the Busy light as useful due to my desk set up (only the smaller side is visible to people approaching me) and the breath coaching was not always obvious as to what to do. I don’t know if my productivity has been changed as a result of this light but I do feel that the nice colors improve my mood and make my desk area more fun. I appreciate most that it has so many features in a convenient and well-designed device. I don’t think it’s an office necessity but a nice accessory to have.
