Bought the lamp 8/3/25; received 8/6/25; reviewing 11/16/25. The lamp arrived VERY well packaged; all parts totally protected. It is very nice. I bought gold %26 it has a very high quality look %26 feel; sturdy. I am keeping it. I wanted it to take to the bathroom in the middle of the night without turning on the VERY bright overhead light so I could get back to sleep faster. It doesn't get bright enough for that. I doubt I would use it for reading except maybe during a power outage. It isn't heavy; 716 grams ~ 1%239.3oz at full height; removing 1 of 2 pipes only reduces wt by 29 grams. I wanted something very lightweight even tho might not be as sturdy.
The description says it has stepless dimming. It does NOT. Has step dimming. Also says it has 3-way dimming and 1 pic shows levels at 30, 60, 100%. Paper says 240 lumens which is equivalent to a 25 watt incandescent bulb (3 watt LED); so 30% x ~25 is 7.5 watts, 60% ~15 watts. Paper says touch control is 4 settings, hi, med, lo, off; by tapping; holding does nothing. Stepless dimming is a seamless transition between light levels-no noticeable jumps or steps so you can adjust brightness to your exact preference vs being limited to a set number of brightness settings. *** I really wanted stepless. ***
User 'manual' is (1) 8.5x11 sheet printed on one side; has useful specs, assembly info %26 diagrams for full and low height. Pic is attached.
Charging: Cable is USB C (yes!). Takes 6hrs/web; paper said about 4.5-5 hours. Took less than 3.5 hours, but it was already partially charged.
Input is 5V 2A per paper and label on bottom of lamp; my charger output is 5V 2A, so perfect match. Researched and found info saying the 5V *** must match *** but also said 1A is fine tho would take longer to charge.
Web said up to 24hrs usage after a full charge; paper said 8-9.5 on hi, 19-22 med, 28-32 lo. It stayed on over 68 hours on lo; didn't test med or hi.
Web said can use while charging, but paper said *** Caution: Do not use when lamp is charging ***.
Paper says wire length ie USB cable is ~59" - it is; color temp 3000K.
