e-Reading Desk Lamp

This lamp is on the pricier side, but it’s absolutely worth it. The light is gentle on the eyes, and with multiple colour and brightness options, it works perfectly as a desk lamp for working from home or as a bedside lamp before bed. The base is very heavy, so there’s no worry about it tipping over. That said, it does take a bit of effort to position it just right on your desk—but once it’s set, it stays put. Overall, it’s worth the price, and I’m hopeful it will last me a long time.

This is such a good craft light. Bright, dimmable, with a great range due to the extendable arm and long light. I hand sew lampshades and knit. Both require clear vision. When daylight fades, normal indoor lighting isn't sufficient for close work. I've tried magnifying glasses with a light, a head lamp, and neck lights, but they weren't helpful. This is an expensive option, but it's worth the money if you need a good, clear, extending light.

I'm a Home Worker and so having a good quality desk lamp has been the biggest priority. This is not a cheap lamp but it is soooo worth the investment. It has a good solid base that is in complete balance with the lamp (you're not going to easily knock it over). You can change the colour of the light from a bright blue-white through softer colours, but all the colours are exceptionally kind on your eyes - I work long hours and at no time have I suffered with eye strain/tired eyes since having this lamp. Somehow, the light is also in perfect sync with my screens/monitors and doesn't cause glare or washing-out. And I just love that 'on/off' is a simple touch of the ring on the lamp strip - no faffing about searching for switches on the cable, or finding rocker-switches usually placed in inconvenient places. I absolutely love this lamp - exceptionally good design!

I bought a blue one of these a couple of years' ago and it has been fantastic. It was extremely difficult to get hold of one this time with BenQ struggling to get this lamp into the UK market. So... I imported a silver one from Germany and... it's just as good - comes with all the adapters needed to work perfectly in the UK and identical in fact to the UK model I bought a couple of years ago. If you can get one for a reasonable price, then I strongly suggest buying one. They are sylish, well made, highly functional with the wide beam from the 'smile' shape of the head of the lamp, fully adjustable and the touch on off works perfectly.

I am a university student who spends a lot of time reading, typing, and so on. So a good-quality yet multi-function desk lamp is what I have been desperately looking for. I am very glad that I have purchased this lamp, for it's actually the best lamp I have ever had. Not only is it easy to assemble, but also is it smartly designed, which indeed provides me with the most suitable working conditions (good lighting sources) whereas possible. Though it is quite large in size, and it is slightly heavier than what I expected in the first place, all in all, I am still content with such wise purchase! p.s.The only false would be the price, it is a bit costly. However, It’s worth every penny of it.

I have been searching for a lighting solution that I like for my writing desk for a while. While not perfect, this is probably the best single product to reply to my demands that I have seen on the market. There is a lot to like. Good build quality and nice attention to detail: the speckle paint, the metal finish of the lamp head, the braided cord, etc. Also the fact that it can swivel on its base is a bonus, and the head is on a ball socket which means you can position it nicely, without it flopping around. It uses a system of warm and cool LEDs in conjunction to produce a variable colour temperature which is great. The light quality is fantastic. So what are the "weaknesses" ? I would agree with some other reviewers that I would have liked to see the light dim more than it's current minimum setting. On the flip side, however, the lamp does get pretty bright---I don't find myself needing it's maximum power. Just wish sometimes it would go down a notch or two on the other side of the spectrum. While the lamp does a good job at diffusing the light, (for the cost of the lamp) I almost wish it came with some sort of cloth or paper diffuser option/add-on. While that might violate the perfect aesthetics of the lamp, it would really make the light quality outstanding. Lets face it, this lamp is bloody expensive! That's not a bad thing in itself, but it does make it really hard to justify the purchase when you can get a lamp at your local grocers for about £5. But let's face it, this lamp is WAAAAAY better than any lamp you'll get at a general appliance store. Still, when you're on a budget, it's hard to admit that you just dropped over £100 on a "lamp". Best thing I like about the lamp? Easy : it _really_ helps with eye-strain. And it's well suited for reading and writing on either reflective surfaces (paper) or light emitting surfaces (computer screens). If the lamp was less astronomically priced, or was more dimmable or came with a diffusion sock, I'd give it a 5-star rating no problems (which it probably deserves).

Although this appears very expensive for what it is, the lamp is very high quality, sturdy, and well made. Good range of different settings and brightness. Recommended.

The BenQ e-Reading lamp provides wide, even lighting without glare. Adjustable brightness and auto-dimming make it very convenient and comfortable, greatly reducing eye strain. Highly recommended!

Easy to set up and provides great lighting for my desk. The way it is designed means no shadows or dark spots around my computer or desk. Easy to adjust mode/brightness. Highly recommended.

Ho atteso un anno per scrivere la seguente recensione. Devo dire che sono molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto: la lampada non ha tradito alcuna delle attese (ed erano tante e alte) che avevo su questo prodotto. Cominciamo: - luce: il sistema di illuminazione è robusto e flessibile: si può controllare sia manualmente (con estrema facilità e proporzionalità, da luce calda a luce fredda), sia impostare il modo "automatico", che si rivela facile da impostare (basta un tocco) ed alquanto efficiente. - base/snodi: la base è molto pesante (per una lampada da scrivania) e non lascia dubbi sulla futura stabilità della lampada: per quanto vogliate/dobbiate allungare, ruotare, muovere gli steli non riuscirete a renderla instabile. La base è anche sufficientemente sollevata affinché non graffi la superficie su cui è appoggiata, neanche se si appoggiano ulteriori libri su di essa. Le cerniere sono affidabili e non hanno mai ceduto neanche un millimetro rispetto alle mille posizioni che ho imposto. Si sono sempre mosse con fluidità ma precisione: ben fatte. - cavi/alimentatore: l'alimentatore è anonimo (nero) non esageratamente ingombrante (per chi ce l'ha, è poco più grande di quello dell'echo/dot) e si inserisce direttamente a muro/nella presa. Quindi ha un cavo -sempre nero- che si collega a sua volta ad un cavo colorato (in nylon intrecciato) in tinta con il colore scelto per le rifiniture della lampada. Quest'ultimo cavo è lungo - per cui noterete questo scendere dalla scrivania e non quello nero. - vernice: resistente. nonostante i tipici urti da scrivania (graffette, penne, telefoni, pinzatrice ma anche qualche macchinina, lego e tutto quello che un bambino può dimenticare sulla scrivania di un adulto) la vernice non non ha fatto una riga. Ho scelto questo modello perché volevo una lampada che mi illuminasse dall'alto (e non solo poco sopra il monitor del portatile: ho spesso disegni e documenti di grande formato sulla scrivania, oppure più libri aperti contemporaneamente e volevo la possibilità di poterli consultare con un colpo d'occhio: la disponibilità di luce per me non è un semplice optional). Sono soddisfatto. FORMA: la forma "a sorriso" dell'elemento illuminante è quella che mi ha dato un po' da pensare. All'inizio temevo d'aver fatto una stupidaggine, mi sembrava un po' troppo pronunciata. Ma dopo pochi giorni devo ammettere che risulta funzionale, l'area illuminata viene piacevolmente estesa e i led non sono fastidiosi (non si vedono). La curiosa curvatura, devo ammettere, alla lunga ti strappa un sorriso: non è il solito cappello o bacchetta, è insolita e simpatica - e grazie alla gamma di colori si può abbinare a molti ambienti, anche i più formali. COSTO: presa a 185€. E' tanto? Comparato alla classiche soluzioni di Artemide (Tolomeo, Tizio, Equilibrist) o Flos (Kelvin), no! Certo, con le cinesi non c'è partita, ma dipende da quanto volete scommettere su un prodotto preso a scatola chiusa (e BenQ comunque non è propriamente una ditta sconosciuta).

Waaaaayyyyyyyy more than I wanted to spend on a desk lamp and I delighted I did. Superior build quality. Very accurate and easy on the eyes light. It's a functional and quite lovely design. Lots of adjustments to the arms, color temp, and brightness. The base could be a weapon if you needed to defend yourself unexpectedly. Everything has a built to last and you got something for your money feel.

Ich habe nach einigen Jahren Suche nun endlich die passende Lampe für meinen Schreibtisch mit Monitor gefunden. Bisher hatte ich die bekannte "Tizio" von Artemide mit Halogenbirne hier stehen. Warum also eine neue Lampe und warum musste ich so lange suchen? Die Tizio ist eine sehr schöne Lampe, für die ein Nachfolger zu finden schwierig ist. Es gibt mittlerweile auch eine Variante der Tizio mit LED (und lt. Hörensagen evtl. sogar einen Umrüstset), doch für mich ist die Lampe als Neuanschaffung einfach recht hochpreisig, und zudem ist die LED-Version m.M. nach etwas dunkel, zumindest verglichen mit der Halogenvariante. Vor allem habe ich nun 2 wesentliche "neue" Herausforderungen: klassische Schreibtischlampe leuchten immer nur einen Teil des Schreibtisches aus, und ich hab jetzt einen 27" Monitor drauf stehen, der relativ hoch ist und es schwierig ist, den benötigten Platz auszuleuchten und nicht gleichzeitig den Monitor zu bestrahlen oder den Lampenkopf im Bildschirmsichtfeld zu haben. Also habe ich eine Lampe mit diesen Kriterien gesucht: - ein gutes Design - LED, idealerweise mit verstellbarem Farbton (wärmer/kälter) - stufenlos dimmbar oder zumindest in unterschiedlichen Helligkeiten benutzbar (die Tizio hat einen 2-stufigen Schalter) - möglichst komplette breite Tischausleuchtung - gut in allen Richtungen verstellbar - soll den Blick auf den Monitor nicht stören und blenden - einen "bezahlbaren" Preis Mit der BenQ WIT hab ich praktisch genau das gefunden, was ich gesucht habe. Die Lampe ist stufenlos dimmbar, ist sehr, fast unerwartet hell, kann aber auch recht "dunkel" eingestellt werden. Es kann sogar einfach eine sensorgesteuerte Helligkeitseinstallung gewählt werden. Ich kann den Farbton verändern. Zudem leuchtet die Lampe den gesamten Schreibtisch aus und ich kann sie durch ihre Größe leicht über den Monitor platzieren und leicht von meinen Augen wegdrehen, sodass die Leuchtdioden nicht blenden. Natürlich ist ein Preis von knapp 200 Euronen auch nicht nichts, doch einen Designerlampe wie die LED-Tizio ist knapp doppelt so teuer. Und die Lampe sieht gut aus (sicher, über Geschmack kann man streiten) und flackert oder brummt nicht. Und sie ist leicht durch Berühren des runden Teils am Lampenkopf ein- und ausschaltbar.
