Can a $10 Lamp Compete with the BenQ e-Reading LED Desk Lamp? Review and Features.

[@traciakierman1]

Lighting is SO important...especially as I get older. The fact that you can adjust both the temperature and the brightness is definitely a plus.

[@LostWax]

Yep, it definitely is.... I'm getting to the point where I am noticing my eyes weren't what they once were😟

[@traciakierman1]

@@LostWax trying to thread a needle is somewhat challenging for me as of late.

[@LostWax]

@@traciakierman1 Yes!! I totally need progressive lenses, but have been too stubborn as of yet. At least I can take my glasses off to see things up close. It's such a disconcerting feeling not to be able to focus up close especially as I spent a good chunk of my life making jewellery, which meant I was always looking at objects only inches away. Ah well, I guess that's just part of life.

[@katieromo2705]

Thank you for the honest review. Price is definitely a factor with so many options out there.

[@LostWax]

You're welcome, I try to be as honest as I can, though I know everyone weights the pros and cons differently.

[@Kayakasaurus]

I got sent this light too and love it, use the color temperature and tap ring every day. I don’t use the automatic sensor reading modes though. And yeah it’s out of my budget range lol

[@zeddluv1883]

great video! any recommendations for a more budget friendly lamp, that's almost performs similar to this?

[@IssyCoonify]

Maybe there is a cheap way to diffuse the light of the cheaper lamp : D

[@LostWax]

Good call, you could probably make a soft box to go over the light.... as long as it wasn't too heavy for the arm system...

[@juliehamel8330]

How dare wake such desires in me! I paint miniatures so light is important. I dont like white/blue light, much prefer warm, but to paint, color accuracy is important so i often switch between the two. I have a lamp and two lightbulbs and i manually switch depending on what i'm working on... 😩

[@LostWax]

Wow, that's really interesting, I saw the ability to change color temp as handy from a filming point of view, but obviously there are people who would find that really useful in more situations than I thought!

[@RCVOODOO]

Portability is the main reason I would consider this light, but there are many quality competing options that are a lot cheaper .

[@LostWax]

Yep, I'd definitely be doing some more research if I was looking for a desk lamp....

[@dieterjosef]

Would there be any use for a lamp that could change the form of the light head from concave to convex? I guess you could do this with an LED strip.

[@stephenmiller5572]

Love this review, I think I want this light.

[@mikemeetstec]

Did you end up getting it?

[@stephenmiller5572]

Yes I got it, but don’t get the opportunity to use it much. I work a lot. I will use it in one month to test it on a project.

[@mikemeetstec]

@ Woo! $200 seems like a lot to spend on a lamp! I’ll see if I can get one used/refurbished. I feel that it can make the perfect reading lamp.

[@stephenmiller5572]

@ I tried it for reading it’s cool if you have the right setup. I paid $150 for a combo lamps years ago. Still works great, tried to get rid of it on eBay.

[@mikemeetstec]

@@stephenmiller5572 Is a combo lamp a different brand? I just bought this lamp here on eBay for a killer deal! $120 including shipping and taxes!

[@openhearts3466]

Cool lamp! 😎

[@LostWax]

😁

[@veronica5896]

Great review! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@LostWax]

Thanks for watching!

[@ruthbryant3929]

Nice light. but the price is intimidating. Thank you for review!

[@LostWax]

Thanks for watching!

[@athenacronberg8524]

Nice review, great info in s bite sized package!

[@LostWax]

Glad it was helpful!

[@m.maclellan7147]

Okay, off topic, is that a giant "shag" rug on your ceiling?! It looks very cool ! I would assume that's for sound dampening ?! Back to video ! ;)

[@LostWax]

Hehe, yep, and yep. The ceiling is unfinished and there are some big ducts that reverberate when I talk so I temporarily stapled an old shag rug up there....5 years ago:)

[@m.maclellan7147]

@@LostWax it looks kind of cool ! Lol ! I would be tempted to give it a "head" to make it look like a bear skin rug come back to life, lol ! 😆

[@LostWax]

@@m.maclellan7147 😂 That would certainly add a bit of interest!!

[@Phenntagon]

Thanks for sharing this lamp with us! I want to buy a lamp for reading. This lamp looks really cool, but its a little expensive 😅. Would you suggest any other lamp mostly for reading but cheaper? Have a nice day!

[@LostWax]

Not anything specific, I'm sure you could get pretty much any lamp that would do for reading, you'd probably want one that has a diffuse light that you can adjust the brightness of.

[@SeareanMoon]

Looks like a cool lamp, would be nice to crochet by but afraid to check the price :p

[@LostWax]

Totally!

[@mikemeetstec]

$229

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

Handy for figure painting... not sure about finger painting

[@LostWax]

😁

[@BeaverZer0]

Have you thought about doing popular video game characters costumes. The among us blasted off pretty good.

[@LostWax]

Yeah, I have thought about it, but somehow I don't seem to get around to those:) They seem to change quite rapidly, and it can take me months to make a pattern, so by then it's too late.

[@tracker_lol]

LUXO JUNIOR!!!!!!

[@davidhow6911]

why don't they have it in black?

[@LostWax]

Good question....

[@NortelGeek]

I like lamp.

[@larryg3038]

$230 (US)!!!!!😳

[@patrickpaez8086]

Definitely not for that price. A desk lamp with a cool temp light bulb is probably worth about 10 of these

[@LostWax]

Yeah, I haven't really looked, but I'd be interested what other options are out there that are similar. I was a bit shocked by the price as well.

[@Asalutor]

please make half life 2 combine mask metrocop or overwatch

[@william.h9523]

U said cheap 299 is the price 🤣

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@AllodoxaT]

£500 on UK Amazon! GTFO 😮

[@LostWax]

What!! that's crazy. I thought it was expensive in the U.S. store at $229!

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

It's £199 on Amazon UK, now.

[@MikeKleinsteuber]

Why the unnecessary overly loud shit music ?

[@amirh.a7443]

Xiaomi reading desk lamps are better

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

No, they're not. Just because Xiaomi sells their lighting for cheaper, doesn't automatically make it better.

[@MiamiMillionaire]

What would bother me is that you can't easily change the light element, which makes it an extremely expensive disposable product…

[@LostWax]

You're right, and though the bulb is supposed to last a very long time, there's no way to know really until it stops....
