OttLite - Command LED Desk Lamp with Amazon Alexa and Google Home Voice Assistant - Silver

Attractive and functional. Love that it can be angled many ways and has different light types. Easy on the eyes.

What do I mean by the title? Well what might a person look for in a lamp? Flexibility, light level, low space consumption, light shade. If you were to ask a person on the street, those are the things he or she might think of. This light can be adjusted in all of those categories to become the light that is ideal for any given individual. The light level doesn't just have settings. You can adjust it to any percentage you want, provided you have google home or amazon alexa. For example, you can say, "echo, light level, 15 (percent)." The maximum height of the arm is high and you can position it however you want just like a robot arm can be lowered, raised, twisted, rotated, etc. and, it can be folded down and out of the way so that it is like a straight stick in the air. There are three light colors, which is important because depending on your physiology or even mood you can choose lab room white, plain white, or soft yellow white. Using it with alexa is awesome. You can control the light level and color totally with voice if you want, and voice control (for alexa) was pretty straightforward. It has a USB port for charging your cell phone, for instance. The parts seem reasonably durable, i.e., not noticeably fragile anyway. People buy a lamp because it has fixed characteristics amenable to a single consumer, but this adjusts to not only what a single person wants at any given moment but also to anybody else who might also be using it, which is why I call this the "Everything To Everyone" Lamp. Given that mine is the 2nd review so far (as of 7/10/2019), I'd say this lamp is wildly underrated. However, I think the $90 price tag is pretty steep. I got it at a $63 sale, which made it a solid purchase. This is definitely a good product.

A little confusing to set up initially, due to the janky app, but once you get it connected to Google Home it works perfectly! Love the many different brightness and color options available.

This lamp is performing exactly the way I hoped. I almost returned it, a few times, due to the very confusing installation instructions. If you want an exercise in patience, plus a nice desk lamp, go for it.

integrates easily with Amazon Alexa, very versatile. will definitely recommend this to my work-from-home team
