OttLiteClearSun LED Travel Task Lamp - Cordless, Digital Display & Touch Activated Controls - Desk Lamp with Rechargeable Battery - Travel-Friendly & Portable Reading Lamp

I just received this light today and it is awesome! I am a jewelry maker and I often work on pieces on the go and this is the perfect light for travel, or in my studio that has many different stations. I didn’t realize that there is also a LCD screen with the date, time and temp and a timer function that works like a kitchen timer not a stopwatch (which would be convenient if you wanted to time how long it takes you to make something) But that’s not why I purchased the light. Ott really does make the best crafting lights and I can see myself using this for so many different functions (camp cooking, Crafting, reading. It’s so compact you can fit it into a tote/medium sized purse and take it anywhere. I’m going to get one for my mother in law that loves doing puzzles and introduced me to the original floor ott light.

It's Ott, what can I say? They are known for their quality lighting. I found these particularly appealing because my puzzle board needed more light, but we were far from an electric plug. Since these charge by USB, I simply take them to my charging station, plug them in, and within about an hour, they're good to go again for a long time to light way my. I also have one by my bed. It's a clock, calendar, alarm, weather station, and has a very gentle light that could be used as a night light. You can use with or without the cord. I highly recommend this product. Would be easy to tuck into a suitcase. If I ever take a trip, I'll know. As with American Express, "don't leave home without it!"

Ott lights are excellent and I love these size and portability of this one. My only criticism is that the battery life isn’t very long.

I bought this for an upcoming trip where we will be doing crafting. I have been really happy with it so far. I have been using it at home to try it out and even at an all day workshop. Holds the charge really well and like the dimmer feature. Good, powerful light. Sort of wish it didn't have the date/time thing now. It is pretty near impossible to fix the date and don't really need those features. I would have rather had some other feature instead. Otherwise it is a great LITTLE light that is lightweight and easy to pack.

Light is great if you can plug in. I bought mine to move to places I don't have access to an outlet and after 1 minute, it turned off. I thought it was the battery so I replaced the battery. Disappointed to see it still turns off after less than a minute.

Although bright, it doesn’t hold a charge more than 20 minutes. So right in the middle of a project, it needs to be charged again.Additionally, the time and date feature( which use a battery), seem completely unnecessary.Every time I pick the light up, that portion gets activated. Just a complete nuisance.I do use it for crafts and puzzles

This little light packs a wallop for artists. I sometimes step away from my art studio to work at the kitchen counter. In that the lighting is okay but not perfect I wanted something that would provide a bit more light for accurate color in my paintings. I have nothing but positive feedback on this lamp. It’s handy to set up anywhere and travels like a dream. I’ve even used it in hotels where lighting is rarely over 60 watts! Makeup looks a lot better!!So for artists, crafters, and applying makeup this light is a dream!

If this was designed purely for the function of lighting, it would be a great product. It seems well made, is bright with a softness to the light. The touch buttons are super sensitive which could be problematic, but workable. The deal breaker is the completely unnecessary alarm and the difficulty setting up the date/time. There are unclear directions and even after trying dozens of times to get it set correctly 2 issues persist: the day of the week displays one day ahead of the date and I cannot get it changed and the alarm is set and there is no turning back. No ability to not have an alarm. This added feature ruined what would have been a really nice product.
