Overall good webcam light with some extra useful features. Only issue I have with it is where the usb cable to power it is located. I can't get it to fit well on the top of my monitored while plugged in because there isn't enough space for the cable.

I'd like to get it on top of my monitor but it does not fit. It's an Apple Cinema display.

Hi John the screen mount is designed to fit laptops for on-the-go flexibility while the desktop stand offers an option for upright use. We stand behind our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee so if you're not happy for any reason just let us know and we'll make it right.

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

Potential to be useful if I could power the thing

I ordered the bundle that came with the 6’ USB-C cable and power block as I needed a longer cable for the device to sit on the desk with the rest of my peripherals. I opened the packaging and set everything up only to find it wasn’t drawing power from the Staples-branded cable and block. I tried a shorter cable I had laying around which worked but that means I can’t put it facing my office door where it’s needed to communicate to my colleagues when I’m on the phone. I purchased another brand’s USB-C cable and still nothing. I don’t think I’ll be able to use the device at all honestly. I’m out almost $50 because of the purchase of the extra cable.

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.

Lightweight good brightness level simple to adjust. I especially like the relax mode. It puts enough light into my bedroom without over lighting it. It was a good buy.

As far as the light goes it works fine. The biggest complaint would be that the clip to mount this above a monitor or laptop screen is not at all secure and falls off easily when you are trying to adjust settings. This issue isn’t helped by the fact that you need to plug the light in which adds the weight of the cable. Not as cool as I was hoping but works well enough to not return.
