Great Lamp. This is a very modern, sleek looking light with fantastic LED light output, low voltage and green technology. There are 4 light choices and multiple intensities and a USB port. Dick De Bartolo, the Giz Wiz gadget guru on the TWIT network recommended it and I agree with most of his recommendations. I love it. My only problem with the lamp is that the light strip part does not rotate. The light gets in your eyes since it is bright. I would like to rotate the light away from my eyes or have an opaque edge facing the user. All in all its a GREAT BUY. I can live with this very minor design limitation.

After my work desk lamp accidentally broke, I needed a replacement. I really wanted something that would look nice on my desk, and after reading some reviews I thought this LED lamp looked like a good combo of form and function. I hadn't really thought about having features besides brightness settings and on/off, but I really like the different "modes" of this lamp, as well as being able to charge my phone! Very nifty.

The modes of this lamp are a lot nicer on my eyes, especially when I'm working throughout the day. The softer lights are perfect for reading (especially at night), and the brighter lights are better for when I'm working at my computer. I've heard that a "bluish" tinge can affect LED lights, but that doesn't seem to be the case with this lamp. It even has a timer, which I suppose would be nice if you like to sleep with a light on. The lamp has a glossy finish, and has several pivots so you can move it to different angles.

Cons aren't too bad. The power adapter is pretty big, so if you're short on space on your outlet or power strip you might have to move some things around. The touch screen is fairly responsive, but sometimes requires one or two additional presses.

All in all, a very solid LED lamp. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good looking lamp with function to match.

I was in search for a lamp that could give me the feeling of natural light. After using this lamp, I was truly impressed with the emitted light. On a daily basis, I read a lot of documents and the lamp provides that natural sun light feeling which makes it easier on my eyes. The design is great, and it looks great next to my mac computer. In addition, its great that I no longer have to crawl under my desk to plug my iPhone charger as I can charge it directly into the lamp.

Before this lamp, I tried out a few cheaper versions, and ended returning them. I'm extremely happy with it and i highly recommend it.

Honest reviews on Satechi Smart LED Desk Lamp with Touch Control Dimmable Lighting, 1

This lamp is great and everything about the purchase was excellent.

I am looking at replacing many lights in the house with LEDs as the need arises. I came across a review of this lamp on mashabledotcom and decided to check price on Amazon as my usual first step. At $100 without my accustomed free Prime shipping I was not an easy sell but decided to proceed nonetheless.

First good sign was getting an email from the manufacturer/seller. I do not recall the content of the message but it is enough to say that this is an unexpected pleasantry in this day and age of internet shopping. When the lamp arrived there was no question as to its likability and ease of use. I do like the various lighting modes and am happy that by going with LEDs that I am saving money on my power bill and having a light which puts out much less waste heat than my other incandescents and bedside reading lamps.

I have now ordered a second and will most likely add a third as other members of the household are showing desire for my lamp. I do like the color selection of black or white but this could be further expanded for better decorating options.

A few of the pluses that I like are that it has a solid base, various lighting levels and colors, a USB port which has been fine for charging a smart phone (did not try tablet), and what I consider a low profile mode whereas the body folds down and the lamp can still be left on i.e. a nice little night light for kids that can even be triggered off after 1 hour by the built in timer.

A few improvements that I can think of: adding slots on base that would allow wall mounting, ability to turn lamp on to desired lighting mode vs. need to power on then select mode, further telescoping arm reach.

Overall I think this is a great addition to my home and hope that it will last a very long time.

8/14/13 Update now that I have been using this for about 6 months. It has worked extremely well as bedside lamp and now that I have 3 in full time use, I am getting a request for one more.

My general use seems to be to turn it on when I sit in bed for the evening and I leave it folded down and have it set to come on at the third level. This seems to provide enough light for basic tasks like seeing laptop keyboard. I do extend it when reading and it has replaced my previous halogen reading lamp for all but the most intense needs.

All 3 units in my house are bedside and all are used for charging a cel phone whether it be an iphone or an S3. Have never had an issue with getting fully charged phones overnight using the usb outlet on the back.

My younger child leaves it on as a night lamp at the lowest level with the timer enabled to shut off.

Still very happy with this and would be glad to give more stars if I could.

I ordered one of these from Amazon.com because they are not available on the UK site. I thought I would have to buy a 240-110V step-down transformer as well, but was delighted to find you don't need one! The lamp comes with an external power-pack exactly like a laptop, so it works with universal voltages.

It does come with a US-style plug but the powerpack is like a lot of things these days in that the main pack has no mains pins, and you snap-on a connector to the main pack. Unfortunately mine only came with a US-style connector, but it uses the same connectors as you get on the powerpack for a Nexus 7 tablet so I just used that. Alternatively a simple US-UK plug adapter does the job.

The lamp itself is great, very minimal design, the variable hue and brightness settings are excellent. On full setting it gives off a good spread of bright light without being at all blinding, and at only 11W is very wallet-friendly to run.

Would have given it 5 stars, my only gripes are that they only include the US plug connector (the standard UK and European ones can't cost more than a few cents, surely?), and it would be nice if it were a little taller. It is not that it is actually short, it is normal desk-lamp height, but I have placed mine on a raised filing cabinet next to the desk to light the whole desk rather than the standard area that a desk-lamp tends to cover.
