I'd like to give this product 5 stars. It works well, it has different lighting levels for multiple modes, I can plug in another device directly into the lamp, and I can fold the top down when I'm not using it. However, something about the lamp head design prevents me from rating it higher. Part of the reason is that I really expected a flood of light when it's turned on, but the long, narrow row of lights tends to focus the illumination almost straight down. I guess my expectation for a natural light LED lamp that tilts is that I'd be able to bring a really high volume of light to my desk area without using an overhead light as well, and this light seems a little short of amplitude.

This is by far the one of best LED desk lamp I have ever used. The Softech Natural Light Smart LED Desk Lamp is very sleek and has a glossy black finish all over. This lamp has 4 different modes of light (reading, study, relax and sleep modes). You can choose how bright or dim the light is on each setting. This lamp also has a sleep timer button that turns off automatically after 1 hour and a 0.7 amp/5 volts USB charging port. It has 2 moveable "arms" and 1 twisting "arm" for adjusting the lamp's angle to your personal preference. I really like that I can put this on my desk and study using the lamp while having my iPhone charging next to me using the USB port on the lamp. This is a very modern designed desk lamp.
Light mode descriptions (color temperatures):
-Reading mode (4,300-5,300k): This is the brightest the lamp can go and is great for reading. It uses all the white LED's and the incandescent light tone with it.
-Study mode (6,000-7,000k): Not quite as bright as the reading mode but only uses the white LED's to give a more white bright light.
-Relax mode (2,500-3,300k): This mode uses the incandescent light tone and the white LED's but are very dim and is good for relaxing in bed and looking through a magazine without the need for a bright light. I like this mode for reading in bed.
-Sleep mode (2,500-3,300k): This mode only uses the incandescent light tone and is great for providing light while relaxing. This mode does not stain your eyes if you turn it on when you wake up from sleep. This is my personal favorite mode.
This lamp is great for the environment because they barely use any electricity and they are rated to last more than 40,000 hours of being on. It uses 75% less power than typical fluorescent light.
Specifications:
-This lamp uses 14 watts and operates on DC 12 volts/ 1.5 amps.
-This light can produce a max of 530 lumens which is high and great for this desk lamp and is great for doing homework.
-The USB port on the lamp next to the control touch panel is 0.7 amps/ 5 volts.
-The lamp fully assembled without the power adapter weighs 2 lb. and 4.3 oz.
-----------
Few things/ features I would add to the lamp:
I would like the control panel to be able to spin without having the lamp spinning with it easily. I want the control panel facing my bed so I can see it and want the lamp facing a different direction.
I would also like the actual light to be able to spin 360 degrees so I face it to the roof if I wanted too but it does tilt about 45 degrees from my perspective.
Overall this desk lamp is outstanding and will be using it a lot for studying, reading and the USB port for charging my iPhone while doing those activities. This is the best designed lamp I have ever seen.

Best Deals for Softech - Natural Light Smart LED Desk Lamp with Tilting Head -Black
I write software for my job. Spend hours a day at a computer screen and reading thru tech books. This desk light fits the bill quite nicely. In all honesty, I will never use the two lowest settings, but the two higher settings are perfect for desk work in a low light environment. The most useful feature of this lamp is the fact that you can swivel the lamp housing itself so as to best adjust to your lighting needs. The price is a bit on the high side, but the estimated 20 year life span, IMO, justifies this. Small foot print, fairly light in weight, the 4 settings (each with 5-6 intensity settings), make this desk lamp perfect for all around "desk work". The USB charging port does not have enough amps to charge an iPad, but is fine for an iPod or iPhone (while it will not fully/quickly charge an iPad, it will power it so it can be used if the battery is low). The soft touch controls are very responsive and accurate. This lamp Does have a power supply which is a bit bulky as opposed to just plugging directly into an AC outlet. Being an LED lamp, there is no humming or warm up time. Overall, I am very satisfied with this lamp; it sits there, unobtrusively doing what it is supposed to do, day after day. Again, the only downside is the price, but, if it lasts several decades, this will be the last lamp I buy and from that perspective, the price is not that big of a deal.Honest reviews on Softech - Natural Light Smart LED Desk Lamp with Tilting Head -Black
Quite nice lamp. Contemporary styling. Has four color settings for reading, working, morning and a night light. The morning setting seems just like the working one. Good amount of light, and the long set of LED elements spreads the light well for a desk. It is efficient with no hot bulb.It may be worth noting that LED lights are quite efficient, but the ac adapters are not always well designed, such that leaving the adapter plugged in may consume essentially as much power as leaving the light on. I have not checked this one. Still much better than an incandescent.
Another note there are not assembly instructions, although it is simple, just unscrew the plastic nut on the bottom of the upright, put the mating bolt through the base, and reinstall the nut. It is not immediately obvious that the nut and upright are not one piece.
