Consciot 12W LED Desk Lamp With USB Charging Port, 5 Lighting Modes 7 Brightness Levels…. I bought this desk lamp to replace another one purchased in the last yr or so. It wasn’t what I wanted when I bought it, but was as close as I could get when my older one died. I thought this one might be the answer for me so although I have a recent purchase, I decided to go for it. I use this light fixture as a bed side lamp. I wanted one that would swivel both vertically and horizontal— that is, both the height arm and the lamp arm, swivel, as well as, bend to various positions. Well…… this one does swivel—IF YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH THAT IS! I kept trying to turn the vertical arm; it was so tight it took all my strength. Getting leverage was almost impossible. I had just removed it from the box and was afraid I’d bang the light head and break it before ever using the lamp. It comes fully assembled—you only need to attach the electrical cord. Finally, I gave it to my brother and asked him to see if he could loosed it up a little bit for me. He too found it hard to swivel but twisted/swiveled it repeatedly for a few minutes. It didn’t loosen up at all. The horizontal or light arm, is fine. I can easily swivel it to what ever position I want. I’m surprised no one commented on this in their reviews, which I always check before buying something. Had I seen this mentioned a few times, I would have passed on buying this lamp. Maybe I simply got one that was off a little. There is no way to adjust the tightness, other than loosening with use—if it will. It had probably a yr’s, or two or three yrs. worth of it and it didn’t get any easier. Not happy about that! Now, if using on a desk, once in position it probably just stays there and is fine. Howevr, that’s not how I use it. It’s on a bed-side table. The table top is lower than the bed with a foam mattress topper added to the mattress. That puts the lamp base below the bed as well, and that’s where the controls are— they are on the top surface of the flat base like many of the newer lamps of this style. I’m disabled and practically live in my bed. I work on my computer here; I read here; I watch TV here. I can’t see the controls even now, sitting up in the middle of my bed. I can’t reach them either. When I’m reading in bed, I’d be lying down and that would make it even more difficult to turn on or off or adjust the light level. Again, sitting on a desk, it’s probably very convenient and would be easily seen and reached. I prefer the lighting control raised a little, located on the vertical arm. I haven’t gone through all the lighting modes yet. I plugged it in, and turned it on. I swiped up and down the density or brightness control, saw it gets very bright, and settled on one good for now, a cloudy, dark afternoon. I have one other comment…. charge me + $1-$2.00 more if you must, and make the electrical cord another foot or two longer. If you have too much cord, you can adjust and tie up the extra..if you don’t have enough...... too bad! I even tried to use the cord that came with my other lamp but the round plug wouldn’t fit. I ended up having to move and then re-configure my tower surge protector so I could plug this lamp in. That pretty much covers my cons. The pro’s are all known: multiple lighting modes and brightness or density settings, as well as, a USB C port. It supposedly swivels and allows for adjustments every which way—except you have to really work at it to get the vertical arm to swivel. The base is well weighted so the lamp is stable. I have no fear of it toppling over—except perhaps as I struggle to swivel the vertical arm. I guess I’ll keep this one since I’ve already packed up my other one and moved it into storage, but I’m not happy. Because of how I’ll use this, I need to be able to swivel it without sitting up, moving to the side of my bed and fighting with it, hoping I don’t knock over a drink or knock something else off my bed-side table in the struggle. Other than that—it’s really a good lamp—just not ideal for me. It’s too bad the original one in this style isn’t available and hasn’t been for a few yrs. It was perfect for me. The controls were on the vertical arm, both arms swiveled easily and the lighting, although only one mode, had adequate dimming > brightness controls. It was durable, lasting about ?? … 8-10 + yrs. I would have just bought another one exactly like it. Oh well……..
