Review of IKEA JANSJO Desk Work Led Lamp Light - WHITE

Customer Ratings:

IKEAs led lamp fit what I was looking for, small, led desk lamp at an affordable price. However after a months use the switch went bad and can no longer return it. The light flickers on/off and dim; very frustrating and looking to replace it already. Looks like others have experienced the same issue so be sure to keep an eye out for this problem before your return expires.

I bought this lamp to add a little light to an area that was dark near my computer. I use it daily without any problems. The LED is very bright and works well as a spotlight, however I had to rig up a reflector/diffuser to use it to brighten, as it really is only a spotlight. I may buy another one to put on my bedside table for late night reading. There has been a few times where the light just goes out for no reason, but throwing the switch on/off fixes it easily, a little annoying but not a big deal. I am concerned if the LED ever goes out if I can find some kind of replacement bulb for it, as I dont see any way of doing so.

IKEA should be ashamed of this product. I managed to get the switch apart. Poor design and easily fixed. Just bend the metal strip so when the switch is on it makes better contact. It's that simple. I suspect that within a few months the metal strip will need to be bent again. Naturally after fixing it the switch looks terrible! Please note it was hard to pry apart the switch because the plastic is fused top/bottom on the inside posts. It's easy to slip the edge of a thin knife in the side of the switch but getting the top and bottom apart is the hard part. Disclaimer: unplug the wire from the wall and if you try this fix you assume all risk.

Honest reviews on IKEA JANSJO Desk Work Led Lamp Light - WHITE

Good quality LED type lamp, very bright, BUT very directed light focus where the lamp head is pointed. Good book reading, studying, or computer surfing light. DOES NOT do a great job lighting up a room....more of a bright reading light.

This is a nice, focused lamp for $10 at Ikea, but the on/off switch is a piece of Chinese garbage. I bought two of these, and both had bad switches within 2 months. First it would flicker, then finally fail. Since I'm an electronic engineer, I could and did replace the switch with a decent quality switch from Radio shack, but the average person would have trouble with this. Since it is a LED lamp, you cannot reverse the polarity of the wires going to the lamp without damage, so beware if you replace your own switch on this unit. Too bad they use such a cheap qaulity switch. Otherwise, I like the lamp for reading and spot light type uses.
