Neatfi XL 2200 Lumens 24W LED Desk Lamp - 4-Level Dimmable Task Light | Home Office, Crafts & Workbench | 50cm Wide Head (Black, Non-CCT with Base)

This is a review for Neatfi XL 2,200 Lumens 24W Super Bright Desk Lamp LED Task Lamp WITH BASE, Black. The lamp has been well reviewed here as a task lamp with clamp, so I will restrict my review to it's uses as a tabletop lamp. The only choice with base when I purchased my lamp around 10 weeks ago was black (though it now appears to be available in white) but I don't regret that at all. I did wonder if it would be very utilitarian in appearance and not very elegant for a living room, but that was an unnecessary concern. It looks very modernist and quite elegant, and the wide, narrow profile of the light and it's shade looks entirely appropriate. All the light is cast downwards over a broad band, and illuminates the reading working area superbly without disturbing other people in the room. I have it on a low chairside table, at a level below the arm of the chair, and the long very manoeuvrable arm allows it to sit comfortably well above my head. It does not give off any heat at all. I invariably have it on the lowest of it's four levels for reading, though it might need to be up a little for embroidery or craftwork. The problems I had with eyestrain, reading or working in artificial light, have disappeared completely, possibly due to the white daylight effect. The base is very heavy (see the specs above) and there is no danger of it tipping over when the lampstand is slotted into place, though it does need a sturdy foursquare little table, not an unstable pedestal side table which might tip over. The base is cushioned with a thin layer of dense soft foam. It comes very well packed and is easily assembled. I had a few questions regarding the lead length and had a more or less instantaneous email interchange with a charming young man from the company. The lead is a bare 1.8 metres and I did need an extension so it would stretch easily behind my chair from the wall, so I went for a little black and yellow Parth Cube extension here on Amazon which is also of excellent quality and looks very stylish with the lamp. I can recommend this unreservedly as an excellent reading and work side table lamp, and though not cheap is comparatively priced with other quality reading lamps. Thank you to Neatfi.

Delivered within 18 hours. Packaging robust. Quality of the materials and finish supreme. The light emitted is bright and clear. Superb for hobby use.

Yes lovely design well made love it

This review applies only to the version of the lamp with a base. It was expensive (around £100 more than the version with the clamp), so I expected something special. I was disappointed. The base arrived broken. The stalk into which the lamp was meant to be fitted had sheared off during transit (see photo). The base itself appeared to be rather shoddy and falling apart. I'm not sure that it would have survived normal use. Without the base, the lamp was unusable, so I have returned and requested a full refund. I cannot comment on the lamp itself because I never got to use it. Beware of the version with the base.
