Reliable UberLight Flex 3100TL Task Light – LED Portable Desk Light with Clamp, USB Connection, 26.5” Flexible Gooseneck, 270° Rotational Head, 9 Light Settings, and up to 60,000 Hours of Use (White)

The UberLight Flex provides plenty of light where I need it on my audio rack. It is more expensive than some lesser alternatives I've seen but it is well worth the extra cost imo. As I unboxed it the quality of construction made it clear that it is a well made light. The fact that it has lots of versatility built in is icing on the cake. The clamping mechanism is a good example. I've used other task lights that provided ok illumination but the clamp worked like it was an afterthought. The clamp on the UberLight Flex inspires confidence that it can be moved and manipulated without toppling over. An important feature for me when works on fragile and expensive phono cartridges.

Pretty big, solid, heavy duty gooseneck. The clamp seems to be plastic, which makes me a little nervous, so I use care in tightening it down. I like the adjustability in being able to direct the light where you want it without shining in your eyes. It is not super bright and won't illuminate an entire room, but for general table top work it's great. The warm orangey color setting is pleasant compared to a lot of white LED lights. My main criticism is the switches: they are hard to find on the top of the lamp head, not recessed or raised, or a different texture or color. One switch changes the color, not used much so no biggie. The other is both on/off and brightness. Fortunately, one press turns it on to the previous brightness setting. Not so good is that to turn it off, you have to press and hold for what seems like a long time (2-3 seconds) until it goes off. If you just press it like an on/off switch, it will just change the brightness to a setting you didn't want and you have to fuss with it to get it back and turned off. It's just not intuitive for me, but I like the lamp enough that I will just get used to it.The power consumption is low (supposedly 6w on high); I'm running it from a "solar generator" battery off-grid and it works well for this purpose.Tough call between 4 and 5 stars. The switch thing and the high-ish price are a bit negative. But the quality seems up to the price, and I don't see anything better in a full-sized usb powered lamp. So, 5 stars.

I was looking for a particular light that would light up my turntable at night. I found this product and tried it out. It worked perfectly and looks cool too. I can make better needle drop vids with this lighting and also has warm colour which benefits alot. Different brightness options as well. I love how durable, flexible it is and the clamp works great ! Maybe you’ll have a workplace or just want to read a book at night. It’s a strong product unlike others out there. I’ve been very happy with this light so far. Also little advice when bending, hold firmly in the area you want to bend and be cautious to try not to put too much force toward the clamp area. Think about the amount of force you’ll use. I guess it also depends where you’ll be clamped to as well.

I recently bought a turntable to listen to my collection of vinyl from the 70's and 80's. It's been 20 or so years since I owned a turntable so I've been rediscovering music from my younger years. However, one thing I quickly rediscovered is how difficult it is to operate a turntable in dim light. Back in the day I always wanted a lamp to attach to my entertainment unit to light the turntable, but I never found anything that worked. Perhaps that's one reason I stopped using vinyl when CDs arrived.Fast forward to the present. Technology has given us compact LED gooseneck task lamps. What a perfect solution to the turntable problem. Well, maybe.I found candidate lamps ranging from about $8 to hundreds of dollars. I eventually settled on this UberLight Flex lamp. At $59 it's one of the more expensive lamps, but it met most of my criteria. I wanted one that lit the entire turntable, which eliminated the cheap book lights. Most important to me was a stable lamp that wouldn't droop over the turntable, and reading the reviews I realized I probably had to pay more for that feature. So here we are.The lamp is working very well. The dimmest warm light setting lights the entire turntable with just the right amount and quality of light. The two brighter settings may come in handy someday, but for now I don't need them. The size is perfect for my needs. I was afraid it might be too large, but I'd say it's just right, fitting the turntable space in my entertainment unit perfectly. It's an attractive lamp.It's almost perfect, but I can only give it 4 stars because of the poor usability of the power button. Having to hold for 3 seconds to power off was a poor choice by the designers. It should power off on a quick press, and hold for 3 seconds to change the brightness level or color temperature. To make matters worse, the power button is a stealthy ninja in a dark room. When I want to turn the lamp on, the room is dark, and not only can I not see the power button but I can't feel it either. It's a guessing game to try to find where to press. I was aware of all this from reading the reviews, and I understand the workarounds, so I was not surprised. It's the compromise I made choosing this lamp over the cheaper ones because I decided a sturdy gooseneck with plenty of lighting was more important than a stupidly designed power button.I highly recommend this lamp as a turntable lamp, but be aware that while using it you may utter some foul language from time to time.

Works perfect. Perfect over the turntable.

I needed a light that was tall enough to fit over the dustcover for my VPI Prime turntable. This one was tall enough, and the clamp was large enough to fit on a 2 inch thick base. I may move the light to a lower shelf to get a better grip with the clamp, but as it is I can move it out of the way of the dustcover which needs to be removed for each use. The light itself is very bright, with three adjustable light as described; from warm to bright to super bright. The large light head can also be adjusted as well as the lamp itself so I get a good look at the record when I'm cleaning it on the turntable itself. The product also arrived well packaged. I've only had it a few days but it's exactly what I was looking for.
