Reviews of Daffodil LEC100R LED Reading Light With Dimmer- Portable Desk Lamp

Customer Ratings:

I was so dubious about this product. However, after looking at all the offerings on Amazon, I selected this little reading light because it had what I wanted: a dimmer. I often read or work in bed while my husband sleeps and I wanted something that would illuminate just my laptop's keyboard or maybe my nightstand without lighting up the whole room. I liked the price of this item, the fact that it was available on Amazon Prime, and that it came in three colors (red, white, and blue.) I ordered the blue one for myself and the red one for my teen. I also liked that it has a nightlight feature.

At first, I couldn't figure out how the lamp dimmed, but I read the instructions and realized that a single tap turns the lamp on or off and a long tap dims or brightens the lights. Bending the neck in a semicircle allows users to lock the lamp to itself and create a nightlight. Not something I use, but my daughter likes it.

The lamp also comes with a power outlet adapter and two cords: one USB and one standard. The lamp can operate when plugged in, or off its rechargeable battery (not charged right out of the box). I thought I'd never use the USB cord and that it was more for people who wanted to use it with their laptops and away from an outlet. I soon figured out that the USB cord is a beautiful thing. The six-outlet adapter I have next to my nightstand is full, so I switched out my phone's USB charger with one that accommodates multiple USB cables. Now I can charge my phone and my little lamp.

The only drawback to this lamp is that it is very lightweight. Normally, that's good, but it would be better for the base to be either wider and/or heavier because it tips easily. It's not a huge problem if the lamp rests on a table, but it's unstable on a lap desk. I plan to stick some hook-and-loop tape to the bottom of the lamp and the top of my lap desk and solve the problem easily.

Bottom line: very pleased with this product. I would buy this again, give as a gift, and recommend to a friend.

I love this little light. I wanted a light by my bed with a dimmer switch so that my melatonin production wouldn't be reduced by the bright light I had. Because I read late at night and often stay up late reading, I'm convinced that the halogen floor lamp I was using was at least one of the causes of my not sleeping well. The Daffodil is adorable looking, very portable, can be used without plugging it in, but can be plugged in to recharge. In addition you just touch the panel to turn it off, no loud click and the same goes for dimming the light. It suits me that there is a whole range from very bright to very dim as opposed to just 2 options dim or bright. It takes a bit of experimenting to get the hang of dimming it just the way you want but after that voila! The small size doesn't take up much room on my bedside table which is great because I keep too much clutter there for a bigger light to fit.

The only reason I took a chance that this would work for me is because of reader's positive comments and because it was so inexpensive. I'm so enthused I'm going to order another for my psychotherapy office because all the lighting is relatively indirect and sometimes I really need more light to read but don't have room to put another major lamp in my office.

If I were to redesign it the only thing I'd change is to make the base a bit heavier and the neck longer so it reaches further but it still is great just as is and since I've had it I'm sleeping much better!

I was in a restaurant where the lighting was too dark for me to read the menu. I said something to the owner and next I knew she showed up with this crazy light. It worked great and now the staff that know me automatically bring one to me when I make a return visit. One of the hostesses has nicknamed it "the Bean on a String" because of how it looks when closed up.

I immediately proceeded to order four of them two blue, two red for use at home and to give as gifts. Only downfall is that one of them has already stopped working and I have not figured out why. Still, I would buy more in a heart beat if I had a reason to do so.

Honest reviews on Daffodil LEC100R LED Reading Light With Dimmer- Portable Desk Lamp

This is a well designed, full featured product. LED's flickered and burned out in a little over a week.

I contacted Daffodil US by e-mail and could not be more satisfied with their response. Not only was I granted a full refund, but also received an upgraded model (ULT300) that has been exceptional as a replacement.. Daffodil went the extra mile to satisfy a customer, KUDOS!!!!

I would give them 15 stars if possible. Thanks Max.

It turned out being the best one I ordered, but it was a lot smaller than I thought it would be.
