This look blurry? Try a new lamp

Are you looking for a new desk lamp that can help you better focus on your work?

You might want to consider the energy-efficient Satechi Smart LED desk lamp, which features four different brightness levels designed to make it easier for you to study, read, relax and even fall asleep if you’d rather take it home and put it by your bed.

The minimalist lamp also has a rear USB port to charge compatible devices like your iPhone.

The one-touch controls on the base of the lamp allow you to switch between four brightness levels: study mode, which is supposed to increase attention with the most intense light; reading mode, which stimulates concentration and reduces eye strain; relaxation mode, which also promotes an improved mood; and bedtime mode, which encourages deep sleep with soft light.

The lamp has a one-hour timer enabling it to turn itself off after a period of inactivity. Its total life span is more than 40,000 hours, according to Satechi, and contains no mercury or environmentally harmful substances. The lamp consumes less than half the power of a fluorescent lamp and ¹/‚ˆ the power of an incandescent one, the manufacturer claims.

The lamp is also thin enough to fit into most desk spaces. The LED panel can be adjusted to a 140-degree angle, and the axis can rotate the top of the lamp 130 degrees.

The lamp is normally priced at $150 but was discounted to $100 as of press time.
