I am very pleased with this lamp. It is very bright for 3 watt (total power consumption is 4.2W) LED. I measured at 12 inches from the LED and got about 70 foot-candles. I measured my Sunlight Desk Lamp with Natural Full Spectrum (27W) Fluorescent bulb and got 100 foot-candles @12in. The Rosewill LED with a temperature of 5000k is not as bright and not as white. The design of the Rosewill is better looking than Full Spectrum lamps.

I had not initially planned on writing a review of this lamp, but it so impressed me that I changed my mind. This is a very nice lamp for the price. Yes it is made of plastic, but it is a good grade of plastic that is not flimsy and doesn't seem fragile. It has a hinge at the base and another at the top, so you could actually flatten the whole thing out for compact storage. It stands over seventeen inches high thereby illuminating a nice area of my desk; this height even clears my 27" monitor so I can have it close to my work and yet it's not in the way of the monitor. The on/off button is conveniently located on the underside of the top horizontal member.

It is powered by a switching power supply (wall wart by another name). This is a good thing because I found battery powered LED lamps deficient. The batteries don't last long, and as they weaken, the light starts to dim. It consumes 4.3 watts total power. It is claimed to have a color rendering value of Ra90, which is basically saying that it can render a standard eight color test pattern fairly accurately. I like the color rendering, based on my observation, but you'll have to take their word on the actual value.

It provides a diffuse light of about 5000K color temperature which makes it a more natural colored light, and the light can be situated right in front of my monitor without washing out the display. This is an LED light, but you can't see any of the LED's. There is some kind of diffuser through which the light shines which works quite well. When lit, the diffuser shines very brightly providing sufficient illumination for the desktop.

In a word: recommended!

I ordered two of these. Both had the same problem. The lower adjustment could not be tightened to hold the lamp upright. It is a cheap plastic cap over a metal pin. The cap is designed for the user to use a flat blade screw driver to tighten or loosen the hinge. Less than 1 turn and it broke into pieces. Happened on both lamps. If I could have tightened the pin with pliers, I would keep the lamp. Even that failed to secure the lamp upright. In every other way the lamp is well designed. They skimped on quality at the most used joint.

Very nice looking lamp, bright led.

The one I had received was defective the on/off switch didn't work, and the light was always on.

Well, the replacement was sent immediately after the claim submission, that was good.

Now the bad part you pay for the shipment of the returned item!

Although it is sold by the manufacturer (Rosewill), the support did not agree to cover the shipment back of the defective lamp.

I chose a 2-star rating because the product is very cheaply made. On the lamp it says "tighten screws to fasten" when you tighten the screw it breaks off making the lamp worthless because it cannot stand up.

Very poorly made. The 2-star rating is because the light was actually a nice bright white..

I would not recommend this product to anyone, and I am extremely disappointed with it because I also had to pay to return it to the seller.. Basically wasted my money on shipping..
