It’s a light right? How great could it be? Well, that’s what I thought too. I have a small home studio I use for music editing and spend many hours at a time in front of the screen. First of all, the aesthetics of it are just cool. The control knob is addictive to use if you’re a “tactile” person. It’s all metal, is really well made and feels very high end in my hand. The light itself simply uses a cantilever principal and just hangs on your monitor. I don’t even notice it’s there. It doesn’t impede the screen in any way and looks sharp.
As far as function… what a well thought out product that solves a persistent problem: PROPER lighting. It doesn’t only illuminate but let’s you choose what KIND of light you want. A push of the control knob turns it on. Simple enough. Rotate the dial and it’s a dimmer. Nice feature but not exactly groundbreaking, I know. BUT…. push the knob again and rotate the dial. This changes the light over a very broad spectrum from ice cool to very warm. I can literally feel the strain being relieved from my eyes as I dial in what I need for that particular sitting as I’m working. So it’s not just “one” kind of light. It’s many lights in one and is easily and quickly customized for your needs.
I was leery of the price and was tempted to just get a regular, inexpensive desk lamp. But I’ll be honest, this light is one of my favorite parts of my set up. So if you want a polished, professional looking, highly useful and fictional lighting solution that is also a space saver, you won’t regret this buy.
