The LEPOWER Clip-On Lamp is designed as a heavy-duty task light for desks, headboards, or computers. Unlike many battery-powered alternatives, this unit uses a direct AC power adapter, providing a stable and consistent light output that does not fade as a battery drains. The lamp head is made of aluminum, which serves as a passive heat sink to help protect the LEDs from overheating during extended use.
The neck of the lamp is made of a high-tensile carbon steel gooseneck, which is designed to hold its position even after many adjustments. This makes it a reliable choice for setups where the light needs to be moved frequently. The control system is an inline dual-switch, allowing users to quickly toggle between warm and cool light modes or adjust the brightness levels without reaching for the lamp head itself.
The clamp on this unit provides approximately 5.5 lbs of force, making it very secure on flat surfaces between 0.5 and 2.3 inches thick.
Users should be aware that the high clamping force is best suited for sturdy materials; it may leave marks on soft wood if not used with additional padding. Additionally, because the controller is located on the power cord, it is helpful to manage the cable to ensure the weight of the switch doesn't pull the light out of position. The lamp is designed for flat surfaces and is less effective on rounded frames or pipes.
If you require a light that is fully portable and doesn't need to be plugged in, the rechargeable Glocusent model is a suitable alternative.
