Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this lamp to use both as a lamp and also to improve the teleconference experience in a low-light environment. This lamp does a decent job of illuminating my face when placed directly behind my monitor. Don't get me wrong, it's not great as a ring light - you don't want to be recording YouTube videos with it, but it's enough to illuminate your face so you don't look like you live in a cave. As a lamp it works well. You can pick it up from anywhere and it's solid and not in danger of falling apart. While it's sturdy, it's also extremely lightweight. For me, when not using it as a ring light I have to bend it down so that the LEDs are below eyeball level. Otherwise it feels like the LEDs are trying to bore into my eye after a while. The 4 levels of brightness are a nice bonus.
