I bought two of this IMG Lighting Beacon 600 because of reviews I read on the internet and here at Amazon. What really caught my attention is the LED light color quality. We all know LED means alot of things... from dim bluish to glaring bright white light that are unusable. Beacon 600 lamp got the best... it is a perfect blend of white and warm white that is incredibly just right. After all, we want a perfect desk lamp right? I also like the fact they used Osram bulbs rather than some generic LEDs. It really does speak for the quality.
I also do like the style of this lamp... it is like a piece of art. If you fold it down, everyone will ask 'What is that>?' It is very nice to have something that is not just a desk lamp or if you want to hide it. I think IMG did a great job on this and I would like to see IMG come out with new sleek desk lamps with outstanding color LED that are pleasing to our eyes.
It seems expensive but once you turn it on and tried it for a couple of days, you will know you got the right one and is worth it. After all, the life of the LED will last super long 50,000 hours... theoretically will last like 30+ years if you use it 4 hours a day for 356 days a year... etc.... too long... lol. Very little heat and super low energy consumption. Lightyears better than halogen lamps during air conditioner season.

I purchased the IMG Beacon 600 lamp solely because of its sleek modern design and for the LED lighting. You can adjust the position of the lamp to accommodate any task you are working on and the surface never gets hot. I've been using this to read with for the last few days...and my eyes have never been happier. Whether reading a conventional book or my Kindle, the Beacon hasn't caused eye fatigue for me and I have it as my table lamp in the living room. I am very glad I decided to purchase this lamp. I'd love to see IMG Lighting produce this lamp at half its size for a bedside lamp.
IMG Lighting's customer service deserves a mention here. Quick, informative communication from them enabled me to make the purchasing decision. Awesome lamp from an equally awesome company.
Best Deals for Beacon 600 by IMG Lighting - Black LED Desk Light Table Lamp
I purchased this product primarily over concern for the long hours I spend next to my desklamp, which used to be a halogen lamp with a UV guard/lens. There was a space between the UV lens and bulb chamber, so UV could reflect out of the lamp, besides there is no way to really know what UV is getting through the glass without a testing device. With increased age, I am very concerned with UV exposure, even if limited, and didn't want any chance that my desk lamp would contribute to degrading my eyesight and even age my skin (or even cause cancer!). After doing research on the subject, I found that LEDs for lighting do not produce any Ultra Violet radiation. However, in the end, it is a much better light quality, with uniform intensity and lower operating cost than the halogen desk lamp. It's also a relief not have a dangerously hot surface to avoid, since the lamp runs so cool.
Honest reviews on Beacon 600 by IMG Lighting - Black LED Desk Light Table Lamp
Purchased a black model of the IMG lamp. Took a week to get a ship notice, then it did not arrive within the estimated time. Turns out the lamp was air shipped from China, bus arrived without any damage and in working condition.
The lamp has 10 LEDs in two lines of 5 each. color output is mixed between warm white and bright white.
The design is unusual, really catches people's eye. There are three controls built into the base of the unit: 1power on/off; 2Brightness (to the left side of the power touch switch, sliding your finger outward increases the lighting level; and 3color temp/warmth. Sliding to the right of the power switch, sliding outward increases the brightness of the 5 warm white LEDs.
The unit is mostly polished plastic, with good adjustability from the base and the head where the LEDs are mounted. It really runs cool, not warmth to be felt after running all day.
I am pleased with the unit, and hope it runs a long time......one question, why is the Black model less costly on Amazon than the whtie or red units?

Catchy title right? LOL Honestly, this has to be the sexiest lamp ever. Granted, its sleek and futuristic design is gorgeous, but the actual lighting is amazingly bright. As a college student, I spend more than 4-5 hours a day just studying. Currently, I read roughly 400-500 pages worth of text from all of my classes and needless to say, lighting is sooooo very important. Unfortunately, I have been sitting here with your typical "college kid desk lamp." Plain and simple: I have been suffering horrible headaches. Not anymore, thanks to IMG Lighting! If you're one to practically live at your desk, do invest in a Beacon 600. It will not only save your eyes from a lot of strain, but it will definitely add a bit of sexiness to your work space, desk, etc.
