Super helpful lamp
on April 13, 2025
Posted by: Trish88
from The Bronx
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Tru Red Brighwell Light has so many finctions definitely the most complete light of its kind. It comes with 5 modes The Focus Mode this mode is very helpful at avoiding distractions and helps boost productivity I like the fact that the rythmic light patterns are adjustable. The Meeting Mode is a necessity it helps reduce shadows when you're in poor iluminated areas great for zoom meetings. The Busy Mode is ideal to prevent interruptions while coworking. The busy sign is located on both sides of the lamp it can be easily placed on top of the laptop screen I also had a great experience with the Happy Mode since it helps me keep dark areas of my office lit creating a more balanced environment. In the evening the Breathing Light comes very handy following the light exercise patterns can be a very calming experience I even like to use it during the day when I need a break from a hectic day. All in all this one of a kind lamp seems to be of a great quality I am so pleased to have this many useful functions in one single unit definitely a game changer!

Pretty cool little light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brightwell light is a neat little light. The different modes make it useful for many situations and I especially like that you can change not only the brightness but the colors on the productivity mode and the speed with which the colors cycle. My favorite aspect of the light is the box breathing mode. I found the reminders of when to inhale hold and exhale helpful for utilizing this breathing technique. I’m not sure if the light helps with my productivity but it certainly helps me to stay calmer throughout my day. The lights design is sleek and minimal making it easy to incorporate onto my desk.

Portable light with great options

from Kenosha
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the Brightwell 5-in-1 productivity light at my home workstation. I spent much of my workday on video calls and find the light to do a great job in various lighting conditions. In meeting mode I appreciate the brightness and warmth functions to reduce eye strain while keeping my face well lit. Breathing mode is helpful for the few moments between meetings to pause and reduce stress before moving onto the next meeting. I really enjoy the focus mode on slow speed to help productivity. I struggled a bit with the monitor screen installation set up as it sometimes falls off so I reworked my workstation to allow me to use the kickstand setup and it works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brightwell light has been very useful and very helpful to have. I am sitting in front of a computer on my laptop for hours on end. The busy light feature has limited interruptions. The breath focus feature has been very helpful during busy and stressful workday. I The multi colored light feature is also visually appealing and add nice ambience to my work area. The you like being compact and easy to pack away is also very nice.

Light Up Your Workday
on April 13, 2025

from FISHERS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I was very pleased with the product. I had at least 5 people stop in and ask about it the first week I had it up on my desk. It doesn't take up a lot of space and has a sleek design. I like using the video call mode to provide better lighting during meetings. The breathing and focus modes were both helpful to have on in the background giving off a soothing vibe. The Busy button wasn't as much use to me as I have an office and the back of the device faces a wall but I understand how it would appeal to a cubicle worker. My only issue with the device is that I couldn't figure out how to make the clamp work and keep it on my monitor without falling off. I won't rule out operator error but it didn't seem intuitive. I ultimately just set it in stand up mode on my desk and that worked fine for my purposes. All in I was very pleased with the device and it has been a welcome addition to my desk.

Brightwell 5 In 1 Productivity Light

from Cayce
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted this Brightwell 5 In 1 Productivity Light in exchange for my honest review. This is my time trying something like this sort a combo or overlapping between wellness mode and work mode. I'm impressed. Trying this for the first time has really made me all the more interested in health and wellness within our workdays or work time. With all the technology today's employees use in all sorts of work environments it's more important now than ever before and this productivity light is there to keep your seemingly overworked mind as healthy and serene as possible all while working hard and feeling good while doing it. Good lighting is key to working smart and hard so Brightwell's Productivity Light switches to the appropriate lighting as you go from general work meetings breaks and relaxation time etc. It's size conscious for on the go use so it easily fits in a small bag tote or purse with a nifty clip to mount on a computer or laptop or a quick and easy kickstand for any flat surface area like a desk.

Top Tier Productivity Tool
on April 13, 2025
Posted by: K.G.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product Review: TRU RED Brightwell 5-in-1 Productivity LED Desk Lamp (TR62804) Price: $39.99 Available at: Staples Product provided by: Stellar Product Testing Panel 1. Design & Build Quality The Brightwell lamp sports a minimalist design with a sleek matte white finish that looks clean and modern. It’s impressively lightweight yet feels sturdy and the fingerprint-resistant surface means less cleaning—definitely a win. I even tossed it into my backpack for a few days and it didn’t add any noticeable weight or bulk to my everyday carry. This makes it super portable for those constantly on the move. I even took it traveling. One of my favorite features is the inclusion of both USB-C and standard USB ports—they're detached but cleverly integrated with the lamp. This adds functionality without clutter. Wishlist for future models: A battery-powered version would be perfect for working in places without accessible outlets or when my laptop battery is low. The lamp arm is fully adjustable giving you a wide range of motion and angles. However I’m still a little unsure about its long-term durability—time will tell. Mounting options are also a plus though I’d love to see more flexibility in that area in the future. The touch-sensitive buttons are a nice modern touch but I do accidentally tap them sometimes when adjusting the lamp. Minor gripe but something to be aware of. 2. Lighting This is where the Brightwell really shines—literally. It features an adaptive lighting system with: Three color temperatures: warm neutral and cool Five brightness levels Maximum brightness: 10 000 LUX—excellent for reducing eye strain especially during long work sessions. Lighting Modes: Focus – Bright cool-toned light designed to help boost concentration. Meeting – Balanced lighting that looks great on video calls. Happy – A cozy warm light meant to elevate your mood. Busy – Subtle glow to let others know you’re not to be disturbed—a thoughtful feature for shared spaces. Breathing – A unique mode that uses rhythmic pulsing to guide you through a calming box-breathing exercise. Perfect for stress relief during a hectic day. Final Thoughts The TRU RED Brightwell lamp blends smart design with functional lighting in a way that’s ideal for students remote workers or anyone who needs adaptable light throughout the day. It offers great value at $39.99 and packs in thoughtful features that you won’t usually find in lamps at this price point. With a few tweaks (like a battery option or improved touch control sensitivity) this could easily become a top-tier productivity tool.

Useful for Long Days at Your Desk
on April 12, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received the Brightwell Light from the Stellar Product Testing Panel I was unsure exactly how I would use it. However once I set it up at my desk I had many opportunities to see how useful it can be. Each of the 5 modes is helpful but for me 2 of them stood out. I found that the meeting mode was great for online video meetings because it reduced the shadows around me and helped the image look more clear and crisp. I hadn't realized what a difference the lighting around my desk would make for video calls. Also I appreciate the breathing mode more than I anticipated. I found that after a stressful meeting or conversation I could turn on the breathing light and it really helped me to return to a more calm state after just a few minutes of following along. The busy mode was mostly ignored by the people around me so that wasn't of great help. However in a setting where boundaries are more respected I imagine it would be very useful. Finally I appreciated that the design was minimal and unobtrusive because the last thing I need on my desk is something distracting and/or ugly. Overall I think that this light is a useful tool to add to any office space.
