The Glocusent 38-LED model is a specialized task light that includes a remote control, making it helpful for setups where the light is mounted out of easy reach, such as on a high headboard or a bunk bed. The chassis is made of high-grade ABS plastic with a matte finish to reduce glare. The clip is designed for surfaces up to 2.1 inches thick and uses a horizontal-axis mechanism with a reinforced spring for better grip.
The light quality is high, using SMD2835 chips with a color rendering index of over 90. This means it provides accurate color and clear text for reading or detailed work. It includes a 1600K amber mode that is lab-verified for minimal sleep disruption. The internal 1000mAh battery supports USB-C pass-through charging, meaning you can use the light while it is plugged into a power bank or outlet.
The remote control uses infrared technology, so it works best when there is a clear line of sight to the sensor located on the base of the light.
The silicone pads on the clip provide a grip, but on very smooth or polished surfaces, the light may shift if the neck is moved. The remote is necessary to access the timer functions, so keeping it in a dedicated spot is helpful. While the battery is efficient, users who use the light at maximum brightness frequently will see a natural decrease in battery capacity over several hundred charge cycles.
If you prefer a simpler light without a remote that still offers high-quality optics, the standard Glocusent gooseneck is a reliable alternative.
