Elzo LED Foldable Desk Lamp

I had been expecting something reasonably cheap and plasticky. Not a bit of it! This unit comes in a good quality package, and upon unpacking it the lamp turned out to be made to a very high quality. It is all metal, with a very solid feel. It is well-finished and attractive, with a well engineered look and feel. There are no sharp edges to scratch anything, the metal is rounded off at either end. The joints - i.e. the pivoted joints that allow it to unfold - are smooth and excellently weighted with the right amount of friction. The design means it is capable of being very flexible in its configurations, enabling you to get the height and angle of light-shining that you need. The lamp itself does not get hot. The unit arrived with the battery charged, which was convenient, and I've used it quite a bit since and it still hasn't run out! The light is bright, and even due to the generous lamp area, and there are two brightness levels. I bought this to use as an occasional extra light for when I am reading or using the laptop but it is so flexible that it is also very useful as a worklight when working in odd places where one normally ends up holding a torch in one's teeth! This device has really exceeded my expectations in terms of its quality and usability. >>>> Edit Jan 2019: unfortunately the switch refuses to turn on now, after just over a year. Whilst I have been very pleased with it, I would have reasonably expected it to last longer.

I loved the slim appearance and the description of this LED lamp so I bought to replace an ancient lamp whose white plastic had become brittle and yellowed with age, and which was too big for the narrow shelf, in an alcove, that it was sitting on. This lovely matte silver coloured lamp is unusual, and is a modern design that will good anywhere. It came very nicely boxed, and included a USB charging cable, a useful self adhesive wall hook, and a user manual. The charging port is well ‘hidden’ on the side of the smallest piece (the lamp itself) near the bottom hinge. I don’t read instructions so it took me a moment to find it. I had great fun folding it into multi positions, until I found my favourite. The folded lamp is heavier than I expected - 300g/10.6ozs - but I love that it is lightweight all the same, and can be carried to any room. It would make a great camping (in a tent) light as it can be charged on a USB adapter plugged into a car’s 12v socket. In fact, it can be used in a car to read an atlas, book, magazine, etc. either when charged or plugged in, whilst waiting for someone in poor light. I love that it has three brightness levels, like most LED torches have, only uses 3w of power, and can face in any direction at different heights when free-standing. It does warn that frequent folding to re-position the light will probably eventually loosen the hinges (and it does not look as though these can be tightened) , but when this happens (and it collapses on itself) it can always bee hung on its bracket which, as well being sticky backed, has a hole in it so it can be hung on nail/picture pin. I love it.

I really love this! It is really compact the way it all folds together so will definitely be coming camping with me as well as being useful around the house! The lamp charges by USB and the tiny little charging point is hidden away on the side of the top lamp section. The USB charging cable is included in the box. The box also includes a plastic hook with sticky pad for if you want to hang the lamp up. This can be folded out and flexed into many different positions and stays in position well. It feels very robust and well made. There are 2 brightness levels and it is a pleasant light to read with. I also found that it would be handy as a torch as you can use this even when it is folded up and the size fits well in the hand. Really useful!

The light came well packaged, and on time. It looks lovely, and even though it has 3 brightnesses, I have only ever needed the low or medium setting for whatever I've been doing. It folds so flat that it easily fits into my computer back to travel with me from place to place, and it is so adjustable that it can light up just about anything! The only reason I marked it down slightly is the light is quite cold, which washes me out a bit when video conferencing, being very fair-skinned. Reflecting it off the wall helps that a bit, as the wall is a warmer colour. Great little light for the price!

I love this lamp. It is so compact when folded, so many configurations for height, angle and brightness. The angular, minimalist design is just as practical as it is aesthetic. It is not light weight if you are looking at is as a travel and camping companion but for domestic use it's fantastic. It feels well made and robust so I am hopeful the positioning features will remain tight and not loosen off. My only gripe, and it isn't affecting my scoring for thus review because the price is so good, is that the USB cable is so short. Plan to use it with one of the many longer ones in my home. Off to buy another....

UPDATE MAY 2018 I’ve owned this a while now and only needed to use it on four occasions, each time feeling less certain of its capabilities. The fifth time it was very dim even though I made sure I charged it overnight. The sixth time I tried it (having been fully charged AGAIN) it was dead as a dodo. Not charging, not working, after less than six uses? It’s been a total waste of money! It does take a long time to fully charge if you don’t want to use it permananently plugged into a usb outlet. As the charge reduces eventually so does the light level. If used on a daily basis for more than a couple of hours I would recommend overnight top-ups to ensure optimum performance. The balance isn’t bad and it has a reassuring weight to it. There is obviously a limit to how far out you can extend the lamp away from the base before it becomes unstable but this is recompensed by the ability to then alter the angle of the lamp itself. Ten out of ten for portability and function Seven out of ten for charging speed and battery life

Lampada con una buona luminosità.. Durata della batteria adeguata per le dimensioni ridotte del prodotto..Lo stile, essenziale e pratico, si può infilare ovunque.. Buon prodotto..

wat een prachtig ding ..gekocht voor mijn moeder om bij te lezen ..ze is hier erg blij mee ...opvouwbaar dus klein op te bergen ..kan echt alle kanten op ..veel licht ..3 standen ..en oplaadbaar ..eindelijk ens geen batterijen wisselen ...was ook erg mooi verpakt ..

Conformément aux photos, cette lampe est totalement nomade. Elle se replie entièrement sur elle-même sauf pendant la recharge qui nécessite qu’elle soit entrouverte pour accéder à la prise. L’aluminium est de bonne qualité et suffisamment lourd pour assurer son parfait équilibre dans presque toutes les positions (dans la limite de ce que permet la gravité). Elle se faufile partout et permet d’éclairer ses notes pour un meilleur confort visuel. Les articulations ne sont pas trop souples afin de maintenir les positions que vous souhaitez donner à votre lampe sans affaissement, ce qui est un plus. L’orientation de la partie allumée permet d’éclairer la zone que l’on souhaite. J’aurais aimé une encore plus grande autonomie mais elle se recharge vite et j’ai tendance à la laisser allumée eme quand je quitte mon bureau. Le câble est vraiment de petite taille mais comme je recharge ma lampe sur la prise usb arrière de mon IMac c’est parfait, idem sur un ordinateur Portable. Je recommande pour un meilleur confort visuel et que vous ne souhaitez pas être encombrés par un fil et le besoin d’être proche d’une prise. De surcroît elle a une belle esthétique et se plie dans tous les sens ce qui est visuellement attractif et pratique à l’usage.

È un valido oggetto sia esteticamente (totalmente ripiegabile, occupa poco spazio ed è gradevole come disegno e tinte) che funzionalmente (tre tonalità di luce, alzabile a piacere e orientabile, facile da accendere/spegnere/variare). La luce LED va bene se posta molto vicina o sopra il piano di lettura. Meno efficace a distanza di oltre 50 cm.

Funciona de maravilla y con carga por cable, dura mucho la bateria. Da mucha luz, diferentes intensidades, plegado no ocupa nada, muy elegante, estable y practico. Vale el precio que tiene.
