This lamp is quite amazing. The light is very nice. I replaced an old fluorescent bulb lamp whose light irritated my wife to no end. The light from this lamp is very easy on the eyes and great to read to. There are about five different light settings which vary widely. I haven't played with these settings but they seem to have a wide variety of strengths and wavelengths for different purposes. You can have a bright light setting for reading. A milder light to keep a low, romantic glow in the room, etc. The wand on the arm allows for a wide range of adjustments while remaining unobtrusive when placed next to a bed or desk. You can even tuck this arm completely down to make a compact lamp. The minimalist look of this lamp is quite cool. My wife was skeptical of the design when I showed her a picture but she quite likes it now. This thing is elegantly designed. All the buttons are on a completely smooth buttonless panel. Because the buttons blend in to the base to maintain the minimalist look, it is hard to see the buttons in the dark. The designers placed a small red glowing light over the power button so you never have to fidget in the dark to find it. I appreciate when there is a lot of thought that goes in to the design of a device. This lamp reminds me of the apple design and functionality ethos. The downside to this lamp is that I was unable to dock my iPhone because of the case I had. I bought a dock extender from Amazon which fixed the problem. I can say that the stereo is quite loud and is sufficient to wake you up or even start a morning dance party. I HIGHLY recommend this lamp.

After reading reviews about this lamp, I was skeptical due to the price. However, having owned 2 previous cheap LED lamps, I wanted something that had more features. This lamp has everything. Four different tone colors are available with each one being able to be fine tuned with a dimmer 2 up or 2 down. The Ipod dock is great to listen to Pandora as background music. This lamp is a bit pricey, but worth every penny. If you are a person who is very particular about the right lighting, this lamp is for you.

I've been thinking a long time to buy two of these desk lamps to leave it on each side of my bed and finally I decided to buy.

As I expected, the product are exactly as described, the material is well made with a high quality finishing, seems to be durable (will figure out with some time), and features are useful. So, why not 5 stars?

Well, as I said, I bought two units and place it on each side of my bed, one for me and another for my wife, and there I figure that this desk lamp really rotate his arm 280 degrees but for my surprise it rotates from the center front to counter clock passing to center back and a little bit more, I mean, why would someone use the light on the back side? The left bed desk is ok, my wife can place her unit aiming foot side of the bed and rotate the arm to her side, but in my case I need to move the entire unit to my side to place the light over me. Quite strange.

As I have some experience on modify things I opened the unit and noted that have a limitation ring with tree screws, I just removed it and replace in a different position, but most of you may not feel comfortable on do it.

Another interesting thing is that the power buttom has a light inside that turn off when you turn the unit on, this make hard to turn the unit off because you can't see the button till you stand up and look close to the light power symbol, maybe it happen only with the black model.

By the way, I think I made a good investment, the light is enough to read a book or my kindle and the sleeping mode is perfect to leave and came back to my bed without bother my sleeping wife.

Honest reviews on Softech-LED Multi-Function/iPod & iPhone Desk Lamp-BLACK

LED lamps are still pricey, but this lamp is worth every penny. I was looking for a lamp that would not only serve as a work lamp, but that could provide additional room lighting in a dark corner, have low energy consumption, and provide a selection of light spectra and brightness, while still being stylish, with a small desk footprint and flexible positioning. This does ALL that, beautifully, and it also 1) is a dock for my iPhone; 2) has surprisingly good, completely invisible speakers somewhere for the iPhone; and 3) even allows auxiliary input to those speakers from any external source via its standard audio jack. Not only that, it offers a USB interface for non-iOS devices.

There are 4 different levels of "warmth" of light, and each warmth setting has 5 different brightness settings. It's a very well designed interface; I tend to generally use a combination of warmer LED's for warmth, and the brighter, blue-white LED's for brightness.

This particular model of Softech LED swivels 360 degrees as well as bending to full extension or closing up to a vertical position, so it is as flexible as it could possibly be.

If there is any downside to this lamp, it is that the warmer settings do NOT offer full brightness. Yes, you can get a full 100 watt level of brightness, over 1000 lumens, if you use the blue-white setting, but as you go warmer, the maxiumum brightness setting drops to about the equivalent of a 60 watt incandescent.

Other than that, this is a perfect lamp, and provides the kind of product design and manufacture that I normally only expect to receive from Apple products. I've never been delighted by a lamp--until this one!

One other caveat, however: I notice the price has gone up 20 percent since I bought it 2 months ago. You might want to wait for it to drop again.

We purchased this lamp and loved it. Later we purchased the Duogreen LED lamp (made by the same manufacturer). If you need to save money on the lamp look at the Duogreen. If you need the fancier features of the Softech this is a pretty lamp, can put out a bright light and has useful features for the ipod, though the speaker is a bit tinny sounding. Only uses 11 watts and if you care about EMFs, we tested our magnetic field at approx. 4 at the light source quickly dropping to .5 just a few inches away.
