BATTERY OPERATED 20-LED DESK LAMP

I am not sure how the product works, since it was a gift for my step dad. (I did not test it before giving it to him) However, the lamp arrived quickly & well packaged. I was very happy with the condition of the product & the speed of the shipping.

I bought this on a whim to use during power outages, which are common enough here in Maine. Recently I started having back problems and found I could only sleep comfortably on the couch. But getting up off that couch to turn off the lights after reading is agony, so I started using this little light. It's unpretentious but extremely practical. Its ratcheting head throws a good reading beam right where you want it, and the D batteries last forever (maybe 50 hours of bedtime reading so far on the first set), and their weight gives it good stability. Makes me wonder why so many modern gizmos use those foolish little AA cells that cost a mint and last a minute.

For two years we had complaints from the people handling the registation desk for a multi-day event that they needed additional lighting. Unfortunately, the area where the table was set up had no access to an electrical outlet. We purchased two of these lamps and the problem was solved. It has two different levels of light output, and although it does not cover a wide footprint, the lights illuminated the workarea quite well and everyone was pleased.

I got this lamp to supplement inaedquate cafeteria lighting during my working weekends. I like to read while eating and the minimal lighting provided at my facility during what are off-hours for most just won't do. The 20 LEDs don't provide lighting that's as evenly distributed as a single incandescent or fluorescent bulb would provide; for that reason it's not ideal for reading, but it is tolerable, and the compact size, light weight, cord-free convenience, and affordable cost combine to make me well-satisfied with this item.
