PHIVECL-1 Architect Desk Lamp, LED Clamp on Desk Light with Metal Swing Arm, Eye-Caring Dimmable Drafting Table Lamp, Highly Adjustable Architect Task Light for Home/Office, Silver

I bought this light about 5 years ago and it is still functional!!!!!!! You will not regret buying it.

I've been using this light for several days now, and the experience is very good so far.What I've asked for my desk lamp is space-saving, adjustable and doesn't get in the way (of both other things and my eyes). This lamp does this quite well. A clamp means that you don't need a base to sit on the desk, which would usually take around 10cm x 10cm of space. And the arms are long, so you can put this way above your head, and the brightness doesn't decrease too much at the desk surface.The arms are of good quality. You can't expect it to be super firm, meaning that if you wiggle them on purpose, it still shakes a little bit. But the arms are quite sturdy and seem like they can stay reliable for a long time as long as you don't try to give them a stress test on purpose. The arms can be adjusted in a broad range, but I'm not requiring this feature very much yet. I'm not an architect. ("Then why do you buy this anyway?" lol).Although this lamp does come with a tunable brightness feature, I don't find that very useful though. I'm always at the brightest stage. What might be useful is changing the color temperature, but this lamp doesn't have that feature. Just a little con though. This mostly won't affect daily use.I'm just starting to construct a personal working desk in my new place. While dreaming about setting up a desk top PC, getting dual monitors, a fancy keyboard, and all that stuff, this lamp was actually the first step I took. Something I'm always worried about when buying anything from Amazon, though, is durability. Just hope that this lamp would survive for one year or even more. If it reaches three or even five years (and witness me get my Ph.D.), I think I would finally give six stars to this 60 dollars I've spent.

Although a bit expensive for what it is, this is a great little lamp, especially for modelers/crafters. Even with an overhead light using (2) 100w equivalent LED bulbs, my room still had dark areas around the sides, and my head would throw shadows across my work space. I was looking for a swing-arm LED lap that I could add to my desk and after viewing a number of cheaper options on Amazon, I decided to go with the Phive based on the glowing reviews.The lamp works great and has almost all of the adjustability that I need for my space. The only thing I would consider lacking is the head movement is limited to swivel and rotate. There is no up/down (pitch) control which could be a problem if you need to get the light focused in on something. However, after mounting the light to the back of my desk and not the side, it works fine for me. The mounting piece is the only other real downside, simply because of how large it is. It is able to clamp to a 3" thick desk, but on a thinner desk, especially one with a "back' like mine, you can't get it tight without warping the back. However, to solve this I flipped the mount upside down so that the clamping part fits onto the lip of the glass top on my desk without interfering with the wood "back".The mounting piece has holes on the top and bottom allowing you to flip it, however, the "lock" only exists when mounting it upright. If you put the second o-ring (included but was not installed on my unit) onto the shaft of the light fixture, it sits in the mounting piece very tightly and does not need the locking piece at all. Hopefully, my included pictures make this more clear.A great light overall, very bright and only slightly blue-er than daylight. A tad expensive, but well built.

The only reason I took away 1 star is because this is my 2nd purchase of the same Phive light, as my 1st one was defective. I ordered this for my sewing desk, & the 1st one I ordered was beautifully bright, but would flicker something awful!!! It flickered so badly that it almost looked like a strobe light! Knowing that this lamp had some great reviews, I gave it another try, hoping it was a fluke. Turned out that it was just that, & I couldn't be happier with the replacement I received!!! Super bright, smooth, white lighting in which the month that I've had it, it's never once flickered or even come close! And I can have it on for many hours straight, & it will still be cool to touch.I do a ton of sewing & alterations daily & need my desk area to be well lit with very bright lighting in order for my work to look professional. Since my desk is in the corner of the room, it barely gets touched by the overhead light. I previously had 2 desk lamps on my 1 desk that still weren't bright enough or even as bright or cover as much space as this one does when both were on at the same time! And the 2 I had were brand name lamps that were not cheap! Not to mention the amount of desk space that was lost by having 2 lamps on my 1 small desk! This light takes up almost no space at all! And it is high enough to clear my serger and coverstitch machine's thread rails when they are at their full height.This light can also be ridiculously bright- which is what I needed! And though I never really turn the brightness down, I like the fact that I can if I want to & it's very easy & smooth to do so. It moves & turns easily when I need to change the direction of the light. But even that is rare for me to do as it covers such a large range of space as it is. I also have my ironing board directly behind my chair, and this one lamp covers both my desk & ironing board area sufficiently! And I really need my board well lit also as I sometimes need to be accurate when ironing tiny spaces for sewing. I love that it only takes one light tap on top(which is very easy to reach) to turn it on and off, so I don't have to fidget trying to feel down the wire to get to the light switch. I believe the price of this lamp was extremely reasonable for the brightness, ease of use, space saving ability & sharp look that you get for it!!! I highly recommend this to anyone needing a very high quality desk lamp! And if for some reason you do get a defective one as I did...don't give up! The return was extremely easy, fast, & I didn't have to pay extra for shipping because of the defect. It was well worth it!!! Hope this helps!
