I have bought several desk lights and I have three of the four I bought since three years ago. One will not charge anymore, and the other two don't shine a light large enough but for a sheet of paper. I was resolved to believe all the cheaper lights were just that cheap! I came across this metal clamp on lamp. Metal constructiom, does not take up room on your desk, it moves to whereever you want it so it's very adjustable and this light has many light modes, brightness and a touch switch like most. The only thing that pushes it apart from the others for me is the amount of light it casts onto your work surface! I thinking I need to buy another for my other office now before I lose the opportunity!
