Small But Mighty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little lamp is small but I'm impressed by how functional it is! I work in the office for most of the week but work from home a couple of days a week and this compact lamp is perfect for carrying to and from the office. My office has fairly open working spaces so people are always coming in and out of my area. The "BUSY" light has been a great way to signal to colleagues that I'm focusing on work and not available for distractions. And when I am losing focus this lamp brings me back on task. I love the "focus mode" - the motion patterns are perfect for my brain - the movement in the background helps my mind from wandering and really helps me focus on the task at hand. That and the "happy" mode which mimics sunlight are my two favorite settings- my work from home space is windowless so the bright light of the "happy" mode makes it a nice space to work. I also really appreciate that it is compact but has the ability to be clipped to a monitor laptop or set as a standalone. However if I could change one thing it would be that clipping it to a monitor is pretty awkward and mine fell down a few times. I wish it were more sturdy that way. But overall I really love this little lamp!

It doesn’t sit well on my screen. The buttons are on an awkward position. I’m regretting this purchase immensely

I honestly didn’t pay enough attention. I just assumed something like this should be rechargeable. But it’s not and if I’m working in public which is why I wanted the busy sign it has to be plugged in which is a pain in the butt. It’s fine. I just would have preferred it be a chargeable light.

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.

Fun for the home office

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very thankful for Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me the opportunity to test this desk light. I was very excited to receive it in the mail. It was lightweight and easy to set up. It comes with five modes my favorite being the “happy” it allowed me to remain relaxed and in a positive mood while working at my desk. The varying levels of brightness allowed me to see throughout all times of the day in my office which has one window. One of my favorite features was the “busy” feature. With young children it is nice for me to have that lit up so if they come in and see that they know to not interrupt. I do wish the clip was a little larger but it was very efficient overall.

Great light with so many functions
on April 10, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Brightwell Light from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is designed to clip onto a computer monitor or sit on a desk and provide various forms of lighting that can be used as extra light for more focus mood boosting breathing/relaxation or to let others know that you are busy. While I do not work in a setting where I would need the red busy light I can imagine it would be perfect in some settings where interruptions occur more than preferred. My absolute favorite part of the light is “focus mode” because it displays two different settings with an array of colors (pink purple orange blue yellow) that rhythmically change. The colors are much more vibrant than able to capture with photo. Another function of the light I like is how you can also switch between cool and warm tones depending on what you need for whatever setting you are in. Overall this is a great light and would be especially useful for someone who works in a shared office space with other individuals.

Cool light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty cool light. Its not exactly what I was looking for an looks to be something a bit more for an office setting while I work from home. The light looks pretty sleek it I like that it can be mounted vertically or horizontally. One thing to note is that my monitors are pretty thin so the mount doesn't work super well there. I think its mainly designed to mount on a cubicle wall. The modes are pretty cool. It would be nice if it had more options to change colors or the patterns. I primarily use this for extra light during meetings since I work in a dark office with no natural light. I could see the Busy label helping in an office to let people know you are focusing on something but since I work from home that doesn't really apply to me. I received this light as part of stellar Product Testing Panel.

I have a lot of online meetings and when working from home we’ve joked I need an “on air” light… this takes that idea and makes it a useful tool for meditation light therapy etc. I’m very happy.
