A Solid Lamp
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Child Jersey
from Clemmons
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this TRU RED Portable from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I placed it in my home office to see if it could help me when working at night. The three light settings (cool neutral and warm) allow for nice customization based on the type of work that I am doing. In addition the ability to dim the lights is a great feature. Sometimes having a nice warm light that isn’t very bright can be very helpful in reducing eye strain (think night mode on your phone). The style of the lamp is also very simple but also elegant. It does not take up a lot of space for the amount of light that it emits. Overall this is a nice product that I would recommend to friends and family in the future.

Convenient Lamp with Limitations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the opportunity to test the Tru Red Portable LED Lamp as part of a campaign through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This sleek lamp boasts one-touch control and three color temperature settings offering the promise of efficient and adjustable lighting. The convenience of its USB-C charging which meant compatibility with existing cords was a standout feature. However my experience with this lamp revealed both positives and limitations that are worth discussing. In terms of design the Tru Red Portable LED Lamp is undoubtedly modern and stylish. Its slim profile and lightweight construction make it highly portable allowing me to move it around effortlessly. Whether I placed it on my desk travelled between offices or took it to a different room in my home its portability was a definite plus. Proper lighting is crucial for me when it comes to working for extended periods and the Tru Red lamp offered adequate illumination. Having the right lighting greatly reduced strain on my eyes during long work sessions and the lamp’s three customizable color temperature settings were a thoughtful addition enabling me to adjust the lighting to suit my preference and the task at hand as the ambient light changed. The lamp’s customizable brightness settings were a convenient feature allowing me to fine-tune the lighting intensity. Whether I needed a soft glow for a calming ambiance or a bright light for focused tasks the Tru Red lamp delivered on flexibility. However despite its positive attributes I did find some limitations. The lamp’s size and total output were not sufficient for all of my needs both at work and home especially when reading documents. The light’s coverage area was limited which made it less functional for tasks that required a broader and more intense illumination. In my workspace and beyond the lamp served well as a supplementary light source for smaller tasks like typing writing or casual reading. Its portability made it easy to bring to different areas of my home but it didn’t quite meet the demands of a primary reading light for documents. In conclusion the Tru Red Portable LED Lamp offers an elegant design portability and customizable lighting settings. Its impact on eye comfort and versatility are noteworthy aspects. Battery life was also impressive. However its limitations particularly its size and brightness for more substantial tasks should be considered depending on your specific lighting needs. While it may not be the ideal solution for comprehensive workspace or intense reading requirements it still serves as a useful addition to smaller tasks and ambient lighting scenarios.

A light I never knew I needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received this light through Steller Product testing I didn’t think much. It’s a light big deal. Boy was I wrong. I plugged it in to charge and discovered that this low profile portable light could do so much! From its multiple cool to warm levels dimmable options and portability I was blown away. It’s a great addition to adding light on my desk while working but it’s also great to grab and bring to the couch when I’m reading! No cords woo hoo! The only downside is it doesn’t provide enough light to help during virtual meeting but otherwise a great little addition to my WFH life.

Great Portable Lamp
on October 15, 2023

from Wesley Chapel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TRU RED Portable Lamp is a great small lamp for your desktop. It has a very small foot print so it fits on any desk easily. I really like that it has three different color lights so depending on your tasks you can adjust not only how bright it is but what color the light is. Another benefit of the lamp is that since it’s so portable my daughter likes to take it and use it while she’s playing with her toys. Overall it’s a great little lamp. I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Best lighting for small spaces
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Christiana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lamp is great! I received this lamp as a Stellar Product Testing item and I’m so glad I did! It has 3 settings and is rechargeable and portable. I really loved using it as a piano light reading light and a small light when it’s dark. The only disadvantage was that it is not bright enough to be a full on office lamp or primary lamp in a large space. This is an advantage of you are looking for a small bedside light for your room where I also used it! It was so convenient to move from place to place that I tried it nearly everywhere! It is very lightweight and the tones of light are very nice. There is a white tone light a regular light and a warm toned light which fit every lighting need. It is super easy to turn on and to switch settings by tapping and holding the top for brightness adjustment. So happy to have this modern and functional lamp in my possession!

Like many have said it's a good looking lamp and very handy. The light settings were great. 3 modes to make the light warmer or cooler. Started having issues after a couple of weeks. Sometimes it works great. Sometimes it won't stay on. Will turn off randomly. Only the brightest mode may work... It's a shame because the form factor is perfect...

I love it! It's great because I can carry it wherever I go to read. I love to read outside in the evening so the lamp is perfect for that. Plus it's also pretty.
