Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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!!!

Convinient bright light with time and temperature options. Good addition to the desktop.

This is an excellent desk lamp and clock. Works great.

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!

DO NOT BUY THIS LIGHT, i repeat do not buy this light, the battery is on fire

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 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.

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.

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.

Really quite bright and very lightweight. I like that I can see the time and date and or illuminate as needed. I use it for my jewelry making, but it came in handy for a night light too! **date was difficult to set, but i looked it up online and found helpful hints.

I own several OttLite lamps. For the price of this one and the portability I decided to buy it. However, I am finding that it is brighter than any of my others and I have all sizes. This is an amazing lamp for the price and the added features are a bonus even though that isn't what I bought it for. I have since bought a second one as a gift.

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.

Very good light for the price. This is my first product from Ott-Lite but not my first LED lamp. This one is easy to use and has a good overall "standard setting" with presents for LOW/MED/HIGH light intensity. Having a built in thermometer and clock is an added bonus with a backup power function.

The light feels well made. It sits flat on the table and bass is heavy enough that it will not tip over . Three light settings are nice I found even the lowest fine for reading . Set up was OK as long as you have instructions in hand . Approx 6’ long charging cable is appreciated. The shade and the way it folds flat will fit in my suitcase easily . The base has touch controls so it is easy to wipe clean. I am pleased with my purchase . If there is a negative mine shows the temperature reading as 3° or4°different off the other Alexa,Siri, radio etc.

Really like the brightness and the portability (lack of chord). Full charge only lasted a bit more than a two hours. Wish it would be longer for my needs.

I like this lamp more than I expected. I wanted it to take along when traveling so I'd have reliable light in unfamiliar surroundings, then decided it would be handy on the bedside table between trips. I like that I can choose the brightness needed. When I had a project spread out on our dining table I moved the Ott light there rather than using the overhead light. Perfect! Setting the clock and calendar is a little tricky because the buttons are small and close together. If you don't need the clock you could just leave it unset and unlighted at night. I think the temperature might still be right.

Despite the high wattage of the ceiling lights I was using for my Zoom meetings, my face was dark. So I thought of purchasing the OTT Light and using it instead. It gives out just the right amount of brightness which solved my problem. I just wish it would stay on longer on battery power. I have to keep it permanently plugged in on my laptop so it wouldn't die in the middle of meetings. Charging it often is inconvenient.

This task lamp is actually better than advertised! Fully charged I have operated it for over 5 hours when set to minimum brightness - and that is more than adequate for most situations, with the lamp directly above the material illuminated. I find it extremely useful because it is easily moved from one location to another for whatever the need is - such as the kitchen table for tax returns, or my computer table to better illuminate some manual. I recommend it!
