Unique office light to boost productivity
on April 9, 2025

[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.

Great little light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some of my thoughts about the Brightwell Light: It’s a very lightweight light that does not lack in the power of lighting up your workspace! I love that it has multiple brightness levels and colors so that I can adjust them accordingly with what it is I am working on. They even programmed some of the lights to help stimulate things such as creativity lower stress levels with a calming blue color that also has a breathing feature to take a moment for breathing exercises to refreshen and awaken your brain and senses! This light has a built in stand that can both stand up the light on the table next to you or it also doubles to attach to your laptop. But don’t worry I mentioned this light being super lightweight so it does not damage or harm to your laptop! I gave it 4 out of 5 stars just because the light when using the feature for it to hang above your laptop it is not very stable and can get knocked off very easily. So make sure your laptop is on a flat firm surface so it doesn’t fall off. Other than that I love this light and it truly makes a difference for video chats and general productivity an extra lighting where I need it

Very sleek and works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brightwell Light instantly caught my attention with its sleek modern design. It fits perfectly on my desk without taking up too much space and the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic blend nicely with any workspace setup. It’s both stylish and functional—a rare combo that elevates the overall look of my work area. One of the standout features of this light is its five different lighting modes. Each one offers a distinct color temperature and brightness level catering to various needs throughout the day. Personally I found the “Focus” mode to be the most beneficial. It provided a crisp cool light that kept me alert and sharp during long stretches of work. The “Relax” mode was also a favorite during breaks offering a softer warmer glow that helped me wind down without straining my eyes. Productivity-wise this lamp made a noticeable difference. The adjustable brightness and modes allowed me to tailor the lighting to match my energy levels and tasks—from powering through spreadsheets to reading documents in the evening. It minimized eye fatigue and helped me maintain better focus especially during late-night sessions. What I liked most about the Brightwell Light was its intuitive touch controls and flexibility. The adjustable arm and head made it easy to direct light exactly where I needed it and the controls were responsive and easy to use. The quality of the light itself—flicker-free and evenly diffused—really sets it apart from other desk lamps I’ve used. Overall the Brightwell Light is a thoughtfully designed high-performance addition to any workspace. It’s made a noticeable impact on both the aesthetics of my desk and the quality of my workday. Thank you to Stellar Panel for giving me the opportunity to try this product!

Just could not light the way

from Brooklyn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received the Brightwell Light through the Stellar Product Testing Panel I was excited to use it at work. There I have many Zoom meetings but poor lighting in my office. When I opened the packaging the Brightwell Light felt cheap and lightweight. Nevertheless eagerly I turned it on right away it did not turn on. I figured it needed to be charged so I plugged it in over night. In the morning I turned it on while it was still charging and watched the amazing lighting effects. I was so looking forward to using it with my scheduled meetings that week. I turned it on at work but it never worked. I charged it overnight for a week and still it never worked. It only worked if it was plugged in. I couldn’t even test it as the outlet is far away from the computer and the charger’s cord is way too short. How disappointing!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Kymberly. This light is lightweight and compact so it's easy to take on-the go. It is designed to operate while plugged in through USB-C or USB-A power options for easy connection to your computer or any USB-compatible power source. This means you never have to worry about recharging!

This is a joke. Light flickers. Directions don’t explain how to use. What a waste.

Brightwell Productivity Light
on April 10, 2025
Posted by: L.P.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing panel. This Brightwell Productivity light has 5 modes such as a relax feature and a conference feature. The light is bright and lightweight and the buttons are pretty intuitive to use. I personally like the "Focus Light" as it is calming during the work day. I gave this three starts because a) I could not get it to mount on my laptop computer in a secure way (had to use the kickstand version) b) it only works if it's plugged in (a chargeable option would be nice for less cords around my computer space and c) the warm/cool feature was not working on my product.

Good light for work station

[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 use the light at my home office. Overall the compact design is perfect for my desk and it does not take up any space as I can set it on top of my monitor. It has several settings but I mostly used two of them: the BUSY light to indicate when I'm on my call or busy which lets my husband and kids know not too disturb me or walk in front of my camera as I might be on a video call. While the light has 5 modes and they are great but I do not use them all. Other than the 'meeting/busy' mode I mostly use the 'Happy' mode. I love the brightness of this mode and I use it when working at night. The lighting in my home office is dim so I utilize it as a little desk lamp. I did struggle with getting it set up on my thin monitor screen though as it isn't as stable and can get knocked off very easily. Also because it is so lightweight when I push the settings button I either have to hold it or remove it completely from my monitor as it will fall off easily. You are able to stand the light on the table next to you rather than placing it on top of the monitor which might work for others but not at my workstation. I do wish it was rechargeable so it can be used without needing to be plugged in as I am limited in the number of USB ports available. Overall it's a nice little light.
