Solid Wood USB Rechargeable Reading Lamp

A slim glass panel rises from a solid wood base and pours an even sheet of light across your open book, so one small block on the nightstand lights the page without a mains cord.

This is a flat panel reading lamp. A clear tempered glass panel sits upright in a solid beech wood base, and a row of LEDs set into the base edge lights the glass so the whole panel glows and spreads light forward onto a book or desk. The maker names the light source as LED with twelve beads, so there is no bulb to change.

The base is solid beech wood, not a veneer over board, with the grain and end grain visible on the block. A single touch pad on the front of the base runs the whole lamp. There are no visible screws and no switch to click, so it reads as a plain wooden bar until the panel lights up.

Key Features

• Solid wood base The stand is solid beech wood, a real wood block rather than a printed veneer.
• LED glass panel A clear tempered glass panel is edge lit by twelve LEDs seated in the base.
• Three colour temperatures A long press cycles warm 3000K, neutral 4500K and cool 6500K light.
• Stepless dimming Hold the touch pad to raise or lower the brightness with no fixed steps.
• USB Type C charging A built in lithium battery recharges over the included USB Type C cable.
• Slim and flat The panel takes up little space, near 15.2 cm wide and 18.6 cm tall.

Best for: reading in bed, a dorm bunk or a study desk, and anyone who wants a soft light that can move around the room without a wall socket nearby.

How It Works

Touch the pad on the wood base to turn the lamp on. A long press of about two seconds steps through the three colour temperatures, from a warm yellow tone through a neutral white to a cool daylight white. Holding the pad longer dims the light up and down with no clicks between levels, so you can set it low for night reading or bright for a task.

The light comes out of the flat glass panel rather than a single point, which spreads it wide and soft across the page instead of casting one hard spot. The maker rates the colour rendering at 80 to 89, a mid range figure that keeps page colours and cover art looking natural. We describe the light as soft and even, and we make no medical or eye health claim for it.

Power and Charging

A lithium battery is built into the base, and the maker prints its capacity as 1200 mAh. You charge it through the USB Type C port using the cable in the box, which plugs into any standard USB power source. Once charged, the lamp runs cord free, so you can carry it to a couch or a bunk.

The maker does not publish a run time on a full charge or a charge time from empty, so we are not going to print a number we cannot stand behind. The listed input is 5V, and the operating voltage is low at 36V or under. A USB Type C cable is included, but no wall plug is listed in the box, so use a USB adapter or port you already own.

FAQ

Is the base real solid wood? Yes. The maker lists the base as solid wood and names beech, and the photos show a solid block with visible grain and end grain, not a veneer skin over board. This listing is the beech tone.

How long does the battery last per charge? The maker does not state a run time or a charge time. The battery is listed at 1200 mAh and charges over USB Type C, but we will not guess a number of hours the sheet does not give.

Does it protect my eyes? We do not claim that. The panel gives a soft, even light with a colour rendering of 80 to 89, which many readers find comfortable, but that is a lighting description and not a health promise.

What is in the box? One reading lamp and one USB Type C charging cable. A wall plug is not included, so charge it from a USB port or adapter you already have.
