Office Light Must Have
on September 15, 2025
Posted by: Y.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Brightwell Light for my work office and it’s quickly become one of my favorite desk upgrades. Unlike my old light which I constantly had to recharge and eventually stopped using the Brightwell is a permanent attachment for my computer so it’s always ready when I need it. It’s lightweight not bulky and doesn’t clutter my workspace. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is how professional I look on my Microsoft Teams and Zoom calls. The lighting is flattering natural and makes my setup feel more polished. The Brightwell has five different modes which is a great feature depending on the time of day or the vibe I want to create. My personal favorite is the blue breathing mode because it adds a subtle calming glow that helps me reset between back to back meetings. Overall the Brightwell Light is practical sleek and reliable. If you’re looking for a permanent no charging professional lighting solution for your calls and office setup I highly recommend it.

Punches above its weight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little light. Compact mounts nicely on the monitor - unobtrusive and doesn't cover screen at all. Modes are really well designed very useful. I especially like the sunlight setting. My office has no windows so this has been really nice to have. The other one I use a lot is the video lighting one. I'm on a lot of video meetings and this helps me not look like I have dark circles under my eyes. I just love how compact it is and that it plugs right into USB port. Overall just very well designed and functional. Hard to take pics of a light but here it is off and in sunlight mode.

i have been looking for a small desk light for the dim corner of my desk when the overhead lights are off. This is the 3rd light i have tried and its perfect! The different settings and adjustable brightness are amazing. The busy signal is a cherry on top! I wish it was rechargeable and had a better stand. its great when you get it balanced but falls easily. Please continue to improve this light!

I have had this for two or three months now and unfortunately it has stopped working. I loved it when it worked but now it's useless.

The buttons are not intuitive. It must be plugged in to operate and I’m nervous about the materials being sturdy enough to travel. I thought it charged so that it could work cordless while I was on the road. It’s difficult to get the mode one is looking for with the way it operates. The price point is way too high for a simple light. It does clip easy to the screen. It does light well once you get the mode you are looking for on it.

This light is great! Love the busy sign i use to let my family know when I'm in meetings. The focus light seems promising. I enjoy the breath work light and the others for stressful or dreary days. Great value in my opinion.

I had high hopes. But this light hurts my eyes if I use it. It is wayyyyyy too bright. Or I have to turn it to the blue or pink light and I see no benefit from it. Waste of money feels cheap. Cool idea just not worth it and I will never use it

Hi there — we’re glad you gave the Brightwell light t a try! Just a quick tip: each light mode has adjustable brightness levels. You can cycle through them by clicking the side button to find the setting that works best for you. We hope that helps you get the most out of your light!
