It takes awhile to get over the rather steep price of this lamp. What it does have going for it is: great looks, a wonderful light field, various brightness settings, and a design that gets second looks.
The things that niggled me are: the supplied clamp-on base mars wooden tables and (more maddening) when the top two arms are extended over my shoulder the lamp's base arm tips over flat. So it takes a few bonks on the head to get this lamp positioned just right.
LED lamp technology is not new and it is not expensive so it will take a bit of juggling thought-wise to justify spending this amount of money. Just depends on what you want.

Great desk lamp that gets the light directly over your work surface and casts a broad, bright light. I briefly had the standard 66 light version, but since have traded for the high-power version which has much brighter output with only six lights. This version also covers a greater surface area, so you're not just lighting a small spot on your desk. Like the fact that it runs very cool due to the LCD lights, and I'm no longer sweating under a hot halogen desk lamp. I use the included desk bracket, so I have no desk real estate being consumed. My only criticism is the high price, but it really is worth the cost.

This is my initial review as I have just rec'd this lamp. In any case, I think the ad above has an error in the amount of LED's as there are only (4) four.
Onto the review; my first reaction is that it was smaller than I anticipated, but that didn't bother me. I am using the clamp for a mount and it is a simple, but quality peice. Also the arms holding the lamp in place seem to be of high quality, tight and allow for almost limitless adjustability. They stay where you put them. But the purpose for a desk lamp is mainly for, well, light! And while this lamp puts out some good light, it is not as broad as I was hoping for. Ideally I wanted to get rid of the torch lamp standing next to my desk, but if I set the Z-bar on the papers next to my keyboard and turn off the torch, it's hard to see my keyboard. I can't raise the lamp high enough to get good light on both the papers and my keyboard. I do like the four settings of light intensity.
If you're looking for a lamp to provide light in an area of about 36" x 20", this is a great lamp. If you're looking for one that has a broader ray of light, get something with more LED's. If someone made a lamp with aimable LED's and of this quality, they'd have a winner! I may need another one for my keyboard, but I can't bring myself to spend over $200 for desk lighting.
Honest reviews on Z-Bar Mini High Power LED Table Lamp
This lamp is perfect as a piano lamp. I have a Yamaha Clavinova, which has a flat top. This lamp sits perfectly, on the flat top. In addition, as the LED lights are arranged on a long and straight bar, it works very well for lighting sheet music on the piano's music stand. If you are looking for a cool little piano lamp, look no further.

The light is clear and covers any part of a desk desired (but only the desk, which is what it is advertised to do). Brightness control works well, and most importantly, the lamp generates almost no heat at all. Product does what it is advertised to do, and arrived well packed and complete in a timely manner. I am very satisfied with the purchase. Only negative is that it is possibly a little overpriced, but it does seem to be of good quality.
