PHIVE HT-2 LED Desk Lamp, 20W Super Bright Desk Lamp with Clamp, Adjustable Gooseneck Monitor Lamp, 4 Color Modes, 5 Brightness Levels, Eye-Caring Architect Task Light for Office, Monitor, Reading

Needed a desk lamp for an L shaped corner office desk so i purchased an Amazon Choice Lepower Metal Desk Lamp that had a lot of sales with good reviews . The lamp was too short, didn't light up the desk adequately, and a standard size light bulb stuck out below the shade and was a bright glare in my eyes. after returning the Lepower lamp i did a lot of searching Amazon for a light that was taller and produced enough light for my corner desk appication. Many T bar style lamps were listed on Amazon however many of them had negative reviews of one shortfall or another. My searching for the best corner light application led me to Youtube searching for videos that reviewed desk lights in general. After several videos i viewed the PHIVE 31.5" SUPER WIDE LED DESK LAMP AND THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE LIGHT FOR MY CORNER DESK APPLICATION. A search on Amazon the light was available and the specs listed the light at 31.5 inches wide, 31.5 inches high from the top of the desk, 20 watts of power, 4 light modes, and 5 brightness levels. I purchased the Phive light as well as the 4 yr Amazon extended warranty and the light arrived yesterday. First out of the box impressions were it was easy to assemble requiring only one screw to hold the light bar on top of the vertical support and base. The clamp is metal and the C inside dimension of the clamp has three bolting positions for desk top thickness and is adjustable for desks tops up to 3" thick. Optimum clamp assembly is to bolt the c clamp together at the narrowest position that fits the desk top. I initially positioned the light close to the right side of my 21" wide by 16" tall monitor with the thought i would power it up in this position and then move it around to the best location. I did not have to move or reposition it at all! The light easily was adequate for a monitor much larger than mine and covers a big enough area i do not even need the overhead room light on. Without measuring i would estimate the light covers 4 to 5 feet across the corner monitor position of my desk. The position the light is placed in the picture has 25" of clearance from the desk to the bottom edge of the lightbar,the left end of the light bar is just passed the center of the monitor and pretty much is centered on my keyboard. The solid lower portion of the lamp base measures 16 1/2 inches from the desk top and the moveable portion of the stem can be adjusted to infinite configurations. Where i have it positioned is bent foreward starting at the mid portion of the flexible mast to a position approx 10 inches from the back edge of the desk. This puts the light in front of the monitor screen and a great position for lighting the keyboard as well as writing notes on the right side of my desk. The touch controls are very nice and whatever settings you prefer your lighting to be in color and intensity there is a memory feature that turns the light on to those settings. The on /off touch pad is illuminated when the light is off for easy reference and none of the touch pads are illuminated when the light is on. I currently have the light on mid settings both on color and intensity. Only one thing that would improve on this light. The light bottom and upper mast as well as the light bar are a non glare matte finish and the plastic c clamp base cover is a high gloss plastic. Would have been better as a matte finish like the rest of the light. THIS LIGHT IS HIGH ENOUGH AND PRODUCES ENOUGH LIGHT FOR MY CORNER L SHAPED OFFICE. THERE WERE MANY CHEAPER SIMILAR STYLE LIGHTS AVAILABLE ON AMAZON BUT READ THE REVIEWS AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK. THIS IS A GREAT LIGHT AT A FAIR PRICE..........................over TWO years later and i couldn't be more happy with this light!

For starters, this lamp is huge! Its light coverage is my entire desk, which is fantastic and something other LED lamps I have owned have never gotten close to. The fact that it is mounted, as well, is something I love. It works well with my overall desk aesthetic, which has VESA-mounted monitors on a motorized sit-stand desk, so being able to clamp the light to my desk is a wonder feature.As far as the construction of the lamp is concerned, the stand and base are both made of metal, with contrasting colors, which fits the overall color palette of the lamp. The bendable arm is wrapped in a rubberized material and actually feels quite nice. The actual lamp portion is mostly made of plastic, with what appears to be a thin aluminum wrapping around the top--however, this choice of material is presumably to reduce the amount of weight due to the flexible arm.However, I do have two small issues with this lamp. In the pictures on Amazon, you can barely see a tiny hole in the power button... When receiving my lamp, I thought this must be a defect, so I looked at the pictures and, sure enough, it's there. This design choice makes entirely no sense to me. Not only does it look like a mistake, the hole in mine isn't even centered, and provides no benefit whatsoever. The light is an indicator for when the lamp has power but is in an off state, and I would personally rather have no indicator light than one so utterly, poorly designed. I can only imagine that the light was an afterthought in an effort to provide its users with an ability to easily find the power button when it is dark, but this is why design afterthoughts should generally be left out of product releases.Additionally, for a table mounted lamp, the black, thick, contrasting power cable should be able to be routed though the mounting portion of the base such that it is not visible. This should not only be an option, but the default, in my opinion.I also find the lamp to be slightly wobbly when touched, and though further inspection, one can deduce that the issue is in the connection of the stand to the base, but this is an issue that can be forgiven, given the height of the lamp and the restrictions of the size of the base due to the mounting bracket.Finally, the diffuser on the lamp is vastly inferior to some other LED lamps I have purchased, as you are able to see all bulbs when the lamp is on. This might be a non-issue to some, but I find that a good diffuser makes a world of difference when light is near your field of vision, which this lamp very much is.With all of that said, those issues are very minor, and ultimately don't affect the functionality of the lamp--which is itself very much worth the purchase alone.In all, I would definitely recommend this product. At this price point, and for its light coverage and functionality, it is well deserving of 4.5 stars.

In Jan 2020, I was looking for a lighting solution to use with my computer in the evening that didn’t disturb others. I purchased the Phive LED Desk Lamp and used screws to mount it to the wall as my table had a solid back and sides. I enjoyed the variety of color temperatures, brightness levels, and on/off button that’s easy to find in the dark, but not blinding. I like the touch controls. The neck is adjustable up and down (not side to side). The light output is high quality and makes reading easy. Upright, the lamp is quite sturdy. This is a great Task Light.Five years later, I’ve moved and haven’t set up the lamp. My new office keeps the overhead lights off so it’s very dark. I’m happy to be able to use this investment piece again and it’s been a life-saver. My workstation is now well-lit, papers are easy to read, my mood and Circadian rhythm thank me.
