Pandigital PANLAMP01 LED Desk Lamp (built-in night light)

I first saw this lamp on the desk of a colleague who was also the head of an electrical engineering department. I purchased two lamps over a year ago, one for my home office and one for my office at school. I am not a big fan of room lighting, so a good desk lamp is important to me. I like the lamps very much. The design looks great and does a very nice job of illuminating the keyboard of my laptops. The night light is also a nice feature, so I can leave on a little light in my offices. My only complaint is that it cannot really be used for illuminating my entire desk from the side and thus blocks the view of my students when they come for office hours. Of course, lighting up my whole desk would take more light and more power, so this is a better approach to save energy.

Very nice, well-made lamp. Even the power adapter is the modern light-weight type. Demand must be high cuz the price just went up. I wish they had made the light warmer. It's a bit bluer than even daylight. Also, I just realized it runs on 12v DC using a standard power plug. I'm tempted to take the head unit camping but I might break it. But it should come in handy during coming calamities.I'm a big fan of modern design and this is OK. A bit swoopy for my taste. I prefer the looks of the Z-Bars but they cost over twice and much and probably don't give as even a light, tho you can get them in different color temps.

Experience:As a college student, this is a great lamp especially if you have little desk space and poor lighting. The awesome feature about this lamp is that is can fold down when you are not using it and takes up a small corner of your desk. It seems people have been stressing the lamp brightness (or lack thereof) which made me hesitant in buying this at first, but there are no problems with brightness. I actually think anything brighter would hurt my eyes. It does get pretty warm when on for an extensive period of time, but I wouldn't really say it gets hot.Night Light:It's like a bonus. Just don't get this lamp exclusively for its night light feature. It helps when you're watching a movie on the computer and you still want to see the keyboard to chat or something.Look and Feel:The matte texture of the neck and stand is finely grained (for those of you who own a Playstation 2 or 3, it feels like that), and the head is a glossy black. A pretty minimalist and modern design--it looks very professional.Pros:-The light is diffused uniformly unlike other LED lamps with a cone of light.-Low-profile and detachable power cord. It resembles a phone charger.-Decent price. Although it looks like the price went up a little since I bought it, if you're looking for a good quality LED lamp (especially on Amazon) for a good price, this might be your best bet. Lamps are expensive ):Possible Cons:-When opening and folding the lamp, it may be a little stiff.-For some reason the power cord plugs into the top-back of the lamp. The cord can be tucked behind the neck.-Which brings up another con: the back of the neck is open/hollow. This makes the lamp in the picture look nicer than it really is, but don't get me wrong, its a nice lamp and the plastic is thick.

This is an extremely beautiful lamp. Even the box containing it had an elegant shape, and I was really excited to open it when I saw the slim figure of the lamp. However, two fundamental problems exist.First, the light is not bright enough. This wouldn't be much of the trouble if you can better adjust the angle; however, as I will mention below, it does not fully cover the big textbook. Second, which relates to the first problem, is that you can't adjust the angle of the light. You can only vertically lift the neck from 0 degree angle to up; you can't twist it left or right. You might have the same urge as I did to breake it a bit to better light the book...The switch to turn it on/off is another disappointment as well, as it feels fragile and cheaply made. I am probably going to keep this as I already have another lamp, but serioously consider the brightness issue plus its angle problem before you buy it.

It’s one of the early LED lights and still works 12 years from purchased date! It is still just as bright the first day I got it

I junked my old desk lamp in favor of this because I was tired of replacing burnt-out S-11 bulbs every month.I like the design: it's slim, the light can be repositioned easily and the bulb doesn't get hot. The night-light is particularly useful and I leave it on all the time.My only (unfair) gripe is the light color. I prefer the warm yellow cast of incandescents. But this is common to all LED lamps so far.I bought this from a third party seller on Amazon. Order arrived on time and packaging was good.

Needed to replace a falling-apart fluorescent desk lamp I was using for a bed lamp. This fills the bill very nicely. The light output is pretty much exactly what I wanted, and this much light without generating a lot of heat is a good deal. The night-light feature is also nice. I look forward to the day when all my bulbs, even the CFLs, can be replaced with LED technology.

I purchased this lamp to light up my computer desk and I love it! It matches my glossy black monitor, printer, and tower perfectly and the modern look is very cool! If you expect this lamp to light the entire room this one isn't for you. It lights up an area on your desk enough to help you see your keyboard, or read from a book, or jot down a few notes. If you don't want to disturb others in the room by turning on ceiling lights, or table lamps, this one does the job well. Another cool feature is when this lamp is not being used you can adjust the light part of the lamp down to free up a little space. On the box, the manufacturer claims that this lamp uses 80% less energy than an incandescent light, and the LED lights have a lifespan of 36,000 hours.
