Customer Ratings & Reviews

I first was aware of this product based on a story I saw on CNN. The lighting in my home office leaves something to be desired - I look like I was sent from the heavens, there's a blazing sun behind me, or just outright too dark. I thought this item would resolve my issues. In a pretty small way it did. Let's get the negatives out of the way right away. If you don't have any issues having a pretty bright light in your field of vision, then I guess this isn't a negative, but it sure seems to cause some extra eye strain for me. The mounting bracket itself, which for all intensive purposes *should* work well for most people, barely works in my situation. My HP monitor has essentially no bezel on the top, so the 'claw' is technically holding on the actual screen. On the back, the counter really expects a more or less flat surface to sit against, another thing my monitor only has at the very edges. I maybe have 1/4" of play for placement with my layout. The GHub software work fine for making adjustments to the light, but I don't understand why you have to manually turn the light on/off. It's good that is an option, but there should be an option to have the light auto turn off/on when your monitors do. You also can't turn it off/on directly from the toolbar. In regard to the lighting itself, I'm just not sure it covers my need. I was hoping I could use this as a primary light source but that just doesn't 'work'. In very low light situations, my face and hands are well light, while the rest of me isn't. One guy I worked with said I looked like 'Steve Jobs'. That wasn't a compliment in this context. Maybe this is what some people will be shooting for, but to me it comes across weird. In well lit situations, at best you can use the light to change how your skin tone comes across (you can be as white as a ghost or a human orange if you so desire). At this point, I feel like I'm still trying to figure out what I expect from this product. I haven't had any software or hardware related issues, so I can't fault it there. If your existing lighting is a certain way, this could certainly help.

works well, easily adjust light level to desired setting.
