Whilst this might be one of Aukey’s lowest priced lamps, it’s definitely still the normal high quality that I’ve come to expect from Aukey. The design of the lamp looks lovely and very modern. The base is matte, white plastic with a very responsive touch panel on it and 2/3 of the arm is silicone with a brushed aluminium section on the end third, which houses the light. The overall design of the lamp is much less angular than most of the other Aukey lamps and has a more fluid appearance to it.

​

The great thing about this lamp is its flexibility. The main arm that comes out of the base is hinged and will fold flat against the base; but the main flexibility comes from the arm itself, as from about halfway up the arm it’s bendable. You can position the lamp absolutely anyway you want; it will bend round on itself, bend upwards, sidewards - you can even make a couple of bends in it, so the arm is pointing to the left for instance and the actual lamp is twisted upwards. I recently had to make up a flat-pack unit with shelves in it and found this lamp invaluable, I know it’s probably not what it was designed for, but I was able to get it to shine on whatever bit I was trying to tighten or attached. I expect it was intended to be used as a desk / reading lamp, but with the brightness and manoeuvrability it’ll be a very useful and well used lamp.

There are 3 levels of brightness, which you chose by lightly touching the touch panel, you literally only need to glide your finger over it or use the lightest touch; you have the option of 2W, 4W or 7W of brightness and it’s about 5500 on the kelvin scale, so equivalent to daylight and therefore a great light for reading and general use. There’s also a USB port in the side of the lamp that can be used for charging your phone. This really is a great light that comes with Aukey’s normal 2 years warranty and I’d happily recommend it.
