So helpful for my dark basement office
on April 9, 2025

from St. Louis
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little light has been such a big help in my dark basement office! I received the Brightwell light as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel just in time for a multi-day online training that required me to be on camera all day long. This light not only helped light up my face for zoom but also helped illuminate the workbooks we reviewed! I appreciate the warm light mode to help give my pale face some color on camera! I LOVE the busy button for when my husband is working from home. He can poke his head in and quickly see if I am free without interrupting. My toddler thinks the colorful focus mode is dance party mode so we've used it to take breaks and dance around when we need it! I haven't gotten an opportunity to use the Happy Mode yet but I am so excited to try it out when I am deep in the winter blues. I like that the kickstand can be used to stand up it up horizontally or vertically but I have had trouble getting it to stay on my monitor it might be my specific set up. Luckily I used the kickstand on a shelf above my camera and its been working wonderfully!

Fun Productivity Device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brightwell Light is fun and functional. It lets your coworkers know that you’re in the zone with the Busy function. Also the lighting is very helpful during video calls especially when you’re in low light. The breathing mode and the focus mode are also great and they helped me concentrate and feel relaxed. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Portable and Cheery

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a cute little light with a portable design and multiple configurations. The 5 modes have a few brightness/color options which makes picking the right light for the right activity a snap. My favorite is the ambiance lighting with the multiple pulsating colors. The blue is very relaxing. I also really like the BUSY feature especially when I’m working from home. I do wish the cord were longer to reach alternate ports and stay out of the way. It would also be nice to have a plug adapter included because sometimes computers don’t have enough ports for every item. Also the port on the light gets in the way when mounting on a monitor. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office light.

Great addition to home office
on April 11, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This light solves a lot for me as a remote/hybrid worker and working parent. I was able to replace my ring light for calls with it and the breathing/mindfulness light replaces an app I was using. The busy light is so perfect as a visual reminder to any family members in the house that I’m in work mode which keeps me more productive without interruptions. I really appreciate that the light is not a single-use desk item and it’s quick and easy to pop it into my bag to take to the office. I received this office light from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

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.

Fantastic light that makes me look great on camera
on April 9, 2025

from Mesa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried a couple of lights since I've been working from home primarily since 2020. The brightwell light simply outperforms all of them. I love the flexibility of being able to have it standing or attached to my monitor. It works seamlessly with my webcam and doesn't cause any halo issues around the camera. The busy sign is a game changer for when my kids get home from school. They know that if the busy sign is on they cannot interrupt me or jump in on my calls but if I turn that sign off they're welcome to stop by. I love the five light functions especially the brightest happy function which uses a cool white light. It's excellent for late afternoons in my house is really dark in the back where my office is. I like to use the warm light function in the morning. It's just a little bit easier on my eyes and helps me wake up for the day. Whenever I'm getting stressed I like to use the focus function. And depending on cloud cover and how much light I'm getting in my office like I can turn it up or turn it down and make it warmer or cooler depending on what I need. Overall this is a fantastic light that helps you look better on camera which is such a plus when you're on video calls all day. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office light.

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.
