The LEPOWER 5W Clip-On LED is a task-oriented light designed for areas like desks, piano stands, or headboards. It features a wide 2.36-inch jaw opening, allowing it to attach to thicker surfaces than many portable book lights. The light is powered via a USB-A connection, making it easy to use with common power blocks or computer ports. It provides three color temperatures, allowing you to choose between warm, natural, and cool light settings.
The construction uses a 10mm diameter flexible conduit for the neck and high-impact ABS plastic for the head and clip. This design is built for stability and allows for a wide range of movement. The LEDs are rated for a long lifespan, and the unit provides a good level of color rendering (CRI 80+), which is helpful for reading or tasks where color clarity is important.
Practical Usage Notes
- Wide Aperture: The large clip fits thicker furniture and musical stands.
- Power Versatility: Works with any 5V/2A USB port for portability.
- Color Modes: Three settings provide the right light for different times of day.
The spring in the clip is high-tension, which provides a very secure vertical grip but should be used with care on soft woods to avoid indentations. To support the longevity of the neck, it is helpful to move it gently rather than making sharp, frequent adjustments. Users should also note that a wall adapter is generally not included, and the light is designed as a single unit, so the LEDs cannot be replaced individually.
For a light that includes a wall adapter and a slightly different controller style, the original LEPOWER clip-on is a comparable option.
