This clip-on lamp is designed to provide focused illumination for home offices or bedside reading. The structure features a hybrid of an aluminum flexible gooseneck and a plastic clamp base. The gooseneck is built to hold its shape well under moderate weight, allowing users to direct light exactly where it is needed without constant readjustment.
The lighting element consists of a 24-LED ring that provides a range of color temperatures from 3000K to 6000K. This allows for a warmer light during evening hours and a brighter, cooler light for detailed tasks. The unit is powered via a standard USB-A connection, making it compatible with most phone chargers or computer ports. It is important to use a reliable power source, as a low-quality power block may cause the light to flicker.
The clamp is designed to open up to 2.5 inches, though the plastic material performs best when used on stable, flat surfaces like desk edges rather than rounded furniture parts.
While the aluminum arm is sturdy, tests indicate that the plastic clamp is the part most subject to wear under heavy daily use. The foam padding on the clamp helps provide a grip and helps monitor the risk of scratches on finished wood, though users should ensure the surface is clean to prevent the light from sliding. The light is a lightweight option, weighing approximately 300 grams, which helps it stay in place on thinner surfaces.
For those looking for a more portable option specifically for books, the Gritin rechargeable light offers a smaller footprint.
