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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am obsessed with my Brightwell Light. It has so many different modes that are actually useful. I love the happy/calm light. It’s so calming. I really like how versatile and portable it is. I use it everywhere
