    LOVE THIS LAMP!!! I use it to shed some extra light when I have to use info from paperwork to type reports. It works on a rechargeable battery, so NO WIRES to get in the way! It plugs into your computer with a USB to recharge the battery. Much to my surprise, it’s also an alarm clock and a timer. It shows day,date, day of week, temperature in the room. The light has 3 adjustment levels. You can adjust the angle of the light easily. The only “Con” is that the instructions on how to set the day, date etc. Have to say that they have excellent customer service! I e-mailed them for an explanation on setting date, etc. They wrote back the next day with clarification. I highly recommend this little lamp!!!

    I love it. Really good light. I use it daily since I have a vision problem. The led light doesn’t hurt my eyes that does work and it has a back light on click/Alan and temp. Light weight so can be carried easily and has a usb charge cable if needed to plug in. Will buy again if something ever happened to this one. And good price too!

    Bright but frustrating to operate

    It puts off a very bright light and I love the portability. But it’s so frustrating to operate since you have to cycle through each brightness level before turning it off. There is no battery-level indicator. And the touch-buttons are sensitive enough that they’ll often turn on when I’m moving the lamp around, even when it is closed.

    I got rid of my bulky, space consuming desk lamp for this cordless, portable George Jetsonesque Ottlite. Loaded with unnecessary extras but when it comes to light, this product does better and looks better than any previous lamp I have owned. The price tag makes it a steal in my eyes.

    I have several Ott lights and I love them, they are so bright and great for crafting. When I saw this on the 'deal of the day' I knew I had to have it. Compact, super bright and CORDLESS! I love the flexibility of using this wherever needed. The back panel has time and temp info, I didn't bother programming that because it was just useless information to me, I suppose if I were going to use it on my desk, it would be a neat feature. The only CON- it only lasts about 2-2.5 hours on the high setting. Right now (August) daylight is not a problem, but in the winter it gets dark around 5pm and I might want to use it longer. It charges on a mini usb cord (included). This item would be a super win if it came with the cordless Qi charging, just sayin.

    Good lamp despite slow charging

    Battery takes a while to charge. Several hours. Light lasts a couple hours so it’s best to have it plugged in. Quality is good. Base is heavy enough to be stable on the table. Light is fairly bright and the 3 levels of intensity is good the light bar can be folded all the way down and allows a full range of positions. The arm tension is good as it is easy to adjust and doesn’t move once set. For the priceI paid it was a good deal. The only downer is that it takes so long to recharge. It your battery is depleted, you can’t use the light until the battery is partially charged. It will just turn off. At first I thought it was defective but the USB charge current is only 500 ma. I guess it can’t charge the battery and run the lamp at the same time.

    This is a good portable light. It is very bright at the highest setting, but don’t expect hours of battery life. While I appreciate the brightness and compact size, the battery capacity is just so-so. My experience in a recent power outage is that on a fully charged battery, this light will last just over an hour. Still, that’s probably to be expected with a bright light in such a compact size. All things considered, this was a good, but not great purchase.

    Not perfect but a great option

    Pros: A lot of light for a small lamp, portable, takes up small real estate with the fold down option Cons: Only holds a charge btw 1.5-2.5 hours, base is not heavy and can tip over (granted, it is a travel light and needs to be lightweight), could not figure out how to shut off alarm (I removed the battery). Overall, I like this lamp, would repurchase (but not at full price). I use it as a table lamp, light for my laptop desk, for tweezing eyebrows, lighting for zoom calls. I use it plugged in most of the time and even the highest setting can be a little too bright. Would like to see how it travels (someday).

    I love this little lamp because it is small and can fit in tiny places. Yes the touch is a bit finicky and sometimes you have to tap it a few times which doesn’t bother me at all. I like this little lamp because my backyard is dark and when I have to go outside I can carry this little lamp because it is rechargeable. Yes it has a battery they controls the clock and alarm function and when it dies you will have to put another battery in it. No big deal. I love it so much I bought a second one.

    Good portable lamp

    The lamp is light and portable. It is bright and three levels of brightness. The downside is it takes at least a few hours to fully charge, and the charge does not hold very long. It can be frustrating when the battery is low and the supplied USB cable is not capable of providing enough power.

    This Travel Rechargeable LED lamp is bright and light weight. Takes less space and offers a great light source. Foldable and a nice travel companion. Along with date/time, the display shows inside temperature too. Little comfort to know the temp around, especially in Michigan winters.

    I got this for fly tying. It provides great light and it small enough to take places if I need to. I have not travelled with it enough to give feedback on how long it will last before needing to recharge and now that will vary depending on the light level you have it on. For what I am doing, I normally use the brightest setting.

    I just got two of these a few days ago and have been using them a lot. I have three other OttLites I've purchased in the past year, and I like them all, but they were corded and the cords are constantly getting in the way. Now, these new ones are chargeable, and I figured I would not use them too much, but I happen to be working on a jigsaw puzzle, and they are coming in handy for that - being portable and light. Now, they are needing to be recharged sooner than I had anticipated, but, again, I have been using them a lot for a jigsaw. In addition, turning them on, dimming, and turning off has been inconsistent with the small buttons.

    I consider Ottlite only when doing crafts and I’m very pleased with this light. It doesn’t take up much room on my craft desk and throws plenty of light on my project. I like that it’s slim and portable. It fits in my craft satchel perfectly because it’s so compact.

    The lamp puts out a LOT of light. I'm glad that the brightness is adjustable. The LCD readouts are convenient. I wish it lasted longer on a full charge....and was a bit heavier at the bottom for better balance.

    Lightweight, compact, and stylish. After receiving this small beacon of many lighting level options, I freed up desk space by replacing my larger heavier lamp with this updated model. I like the lighted info bar in the base that displays time, date, and temperature.

    This light is sooo awsesome. Great value for this handy thing. Our apartment is very dark and we hate our overhead lighting. Hopefully it last a long time, because we are using this light a lot! so lite and feels great in your hands.
