PHIVE CL-2 Architect Desk Lamp, LED Clamp on Desk Light with Metal Swing Arm, Eye-Caring Dimmable Drafting Table Lamp, Highly Adjustable Architect Task Light for Home/Office, Black

I needed a desk light that clamps to the front edge of my desk, has variable levels of brightness, and could easily change positions depending what I was doing at the time. This is exactly the desk lamp that I needed!!!! The long reach allows me to completely swing it out of the way and re-position it if I needed close, intense light. The variable brightness has been my favorite part. I can keep it soft for general reading/writing or make it very bright then I need to see something very small and need some extra light. The single touch control is really nice. Hold to make it bright. Release and hold to make it dim. Tap to turn on and off. Super simple. The desk clamp is very secure. The clamp is more durable than I expected. It's a round on the outside so there are no sharp edges. The thickness of metal improve the stability of the lamp and allows you to clamp down harder on the desk. The lamp has three pivot joints which gives me a huge range of motion. The extra length of each each segment again, gives me the ability to not only cover my entire desk, but also look for items I drop on the floor. Initially, the joints are very stiff. Personally, I like them at at their factory setting, but someone else might want to loosen them up just a little. That's about it. This is a great desk lamp. I highly recommends it. (Please excuse any typos)

I have brought the PHIVE LK-2 LED desk lamp and use it on my desk, fantastic lamp really(see picture attached, I'll post a detailed review about LK-2 but just gonna use it more as it is over 90 bucks), I like it so much that I want to buy a second one for my office. However wife didn't agree to spend that much on another desk lamp so I did my research, although this Phive CL-2 is not the cheapest one in my cart, I decided to go for it, as my LK-2 works like a charm. Now, I'm glad with my purchase. The lamp is just as beautiful as my LK-2, well designed, aluminum alloy swing arm, perfectly served my purpose of doing research, space-saving bright LED light. It can be dimmed by a touch switch button on top, "stepless dimming" as they called, which is a great feature for me, as I put it near my nightstand, use it as a reading light before sleep. The clamp is well made, as you can see I have it clamped on my window's edge, whole body looks to be stable. All in all, a wonderful product, you got six stars from me. Totally worth the extra pennies to buy a quality product. Great work guys.

Absolutely love this light. It is minimal and slim, adjustable in multiple directions, dims well, looks nice and mounts very sturdy. I purchased two and after 1 year for some reason one of them stopped working. I was so disappointed because I love the light so much, so I emailed them to see what could be done even though the warranty/return window was way past expired. No questions asked they are sending me a replacement. My other light still works great, so this one must have had some defect. I am thrilled to be getting a new one. Will continue to replace with same item in the future if needed since the price is great. I use the light at my art table for painting, and also for perfectly-lit online video conferencing.

Great desk lamp that provides a bright white light that can be dimmed. It's not the most durable as it has plastic rings that support each metal piece, but if you don't twist it or overly manipulate it too much it's not a problem. I don't have any experience with other lamps like this, but it was great for illuminating work in a dark room with no overhead lights. At 4 years the lamp pretty much quit on me, so I'll probably buy a new one.

This lamp is excellent, relatively small (not bulky as the older traditional elbow-type bulb lamps), lightweight, and quite bright: it is a white light which provides optimal visibility. There have been a couple of complaints about the design that it doesn't bend/fold optimally, but I don't see the problems, for me it is perfect. It bends everywhere I need it to bend to accommodate optimal position and the head swivels to orient the light itself away form the face and onto the desk. It is advertised for a drafting table but also is perfect for my large desk, I can now have good lighting everywhere and can move the head simply and easily when needed. I have had it only a couple of weeks so I cannot yet report on long-term durability. Lastly, it comes with an extended guarantee, 90 days, backed by Amazon. This was an "Amazon's Choice" item and in my experience to-date you can't go wrong with category "Amazon's Choice". And NO this was not a paid or sponsored response, I just love the lamp.

July 15, 2022. I'm reviewing: Phive LED Desk Lamp, Architect Task Lamp, Metal Swing Arm Dimmable Drafting Table Lamp. I needed more light at my desk workspace, so I tried this light and it fits my workspace and was easy to install. I set the light bar 30 inches above my desk, well above and out of the way of my computer monitors, and the illumination at max bright is even and bright enough for the detailed work I do when I need to focus on little things I'm making at a three foot wide area of my desk. The light is cool. The specs say it's 5000K at a CRI of 85Ra which is supposed to be perfect for artists who want daylight color rendering. It's cooler light than the little halogen desk lamp I have. I can't qualify the color temperature, but it'll do for my purposes. The light bar on the end of the arm swivels on the vertical (yaw) axis and pivots in the front to back axis (roll), but not on the long horizontal (pitch) axis, which would be useful for tilting it to reduce glare. It'll do just fine.

This company does not honor its warranty. Bought the Architect Desk Lamp, which worked as described. However after a few months the lamp stopped working and the troubleshooting steps in the manual didn't help. The lamp is still in warranty. Amazon customer service said contact Phive, the manufacturer. Emails to the company have gone unanswered and there is no phone number. Unfortunately I can't recommend products by this company after the frustrating experience.

*This goes for almost every product I bought from Amazon that made my dream workstation to reality. I'm not a technical writer so don't bash me for it (I wouldn't even care if you did). Just a ramble and brag from a very technical savvy person who gets overexcited with tech things. *Single Column Crank Adjustable Stand up Desk (40”, Black Frame, Black Top) *HyperX Fury S Speed Edition – Pro Gaming Mouse Pad X-Large *AmazonBasics Premium Single Monitor Stand *Phive LED Lamp, Architect Task Lamp, Metal Swing Arm Dimmable Table Lamp with clamp *Mintcraft TWC0534-3L Pipe Strap *Multifunction Desktop Binder Clamp Clip *Uvex Skypar Blue Light Blocking Computer Glasses with SCT-Orange Lens *Self Stick Pencil Tray – Under Desk Holder Pop-up Pen Strorage Drawer Organizer *Yamaha MG06X *Shure SM58-LC *Mount it!

Cord, 510 Joules, 2 USB Charging Ports, Black, 20K Insurance & (TLP310USBC) I can't ask for a better desk (*Single Column Crank Adjustable Stand up Desk (40”, Black Frame, Black Top). I've had this desk for nearly 6 months before writing this review and I just absolutely loved it. Bought it used and shipped by amazon for about $150. Think brand new runs about $240 or something. Who cares, I did save some money because I wanted all the extras to go with this desk [34"5k monitor (34WK95), clamp on monitor adjustable arm (*AmazonBasics Premium Single Monitor Stand), clamp on desk lamp (*Phive LED Lamp) pen organizer mount (*Self Stick Pencil Tray), clamp on surge protector (*Tripp Lite Surge Protector), Desk Clamp Binder Clip, adjustable stool(Brenton Studios Jaffin Active Stool), and underneath laptop mount(*Mintcraft pipe strap] so yeah, buying all that equipment ran up the price to build my rolling workstation. Buying it used, amazon did mention that it had cosmetic damages which was fine for me because really its mainly the framework I wanted. The desk part did have a few scuffs and chips and not like I couldn't fix it or just build the tabletop to my liking buying the wood from a local hardware store which initially was the plan. It;s not so much a bothersome for me because after 6 months, I still havent changed it and been using it for productivity anyway. Why this crank adjustable over an electric adjustable desk? PRICE is right! The crank is not difficult at all and only takes a few seconds vs an electric with single or dual motor where I would have to worry about the motor going out in the future. (I plan to keep this desk for many many many years). Motor will eventually go out and would have to look for another or fix it yourself. The size of the desk was perfect for portability going through doors from one room to the next while most electric stand up desk have it too wide for it and/or buy the desktop separate. I mainly work from home as I run businesses from home and part of it is graphic designing. Working from home has its pros and cons depending on discipline you are and that discipline can change from time to time. You can easily get lazy or lose focus from distraction because you a re at home thus why I move from master bedroom to another room to family room, to even outside to find my zone or just to wherever I feel like working. I can stand up and sit while working and if I get tired I use the *Brenton Studios Jaffin Active Stool to rest my butt on it. If I want to work lazy while watching TV in the family room, I can move my desk near the recliner, prop my foot up and pull out the monitor out attached to *Amazon Basic single arm mount and it extends far, high, light, rotate, tilt and everything to move it where I need it to be. Laying down on the bed as well is just the same and adjusting the desk height, easy as a crank.] Even if I have a party at home I can roll my desk out and use my computer as a karaoke system by using youtube (type karaoke before the song), connect my analog mixer (Yamaha MG06X) along with my mics (Shure SM58-LC) and output the sound to my living room system, or my *Altec Lansing ALP-X800 if outside by line in all you need is the cable 3.5 to rca to aux converters. It rocks. To complete my system Im just waiting for soundbar to come down in price or refurbished (preferably the Yamaha MusicCast Bar 400) to attach to my monitor on the mount with *Mount-it Soundbar Bracket and mount the sub on the left side of the foot of my desk opposite of my stool (Brenton Studios Jaffin Active Stool). All the power is attached to the Tripp Lite Surge Protector, although its only 3 AC plugs I only use 2 mainly for monitor (which charges my macbook pro underneath the desk using just a piece of wood and mounted with *Mintcraft TWC0534-3L Pipe Strap) and 1 for the light. The other will go to my soundbar once I receive it. 2 USB ports will charge my phone, ipad, or my apple pencil. I don’t really need the sound bar since I have 2 homepods, apple express that connects to an old subwoofer, a Sonos Beam just received and can airplay but just want sound with a direct connection since that is limited to my bedroom. I tried to connect the Sonos Beam directly to my macbook pro but 2017 they took out SPDIF stereo out and can’t directly connect to it. I plan on returning the Beam back to bestbuy since it gets out of sync with my music or appleTV and cant justify that price tag. Back to the Tripp Lite, its great because it clamps on my desk with a 10ft cord so I can just plug it anywhere and have the reachability without the cord getting in the way. When I move the desk, I used the *Multifunction Desktop Binder Clamp Clip to roll my power cord and hang on it. I’ve purchased the Bestek Surge Protector and mounted that on my headboard. I love that thing because of the six outlet, 4 USB with one of them on Quickcharge. I was planning to buying another to mount it to this desk but cons of it 1) I would waste the perfect use of my Tripp Lite that’s conveniently place right next to my monitor mount 2) I would probably have to mount it underneath my desk somewhere and make it hard to get to rather that on the top. 3) The cord is 6ft compared to the Tripp Lite’s 10ft and limit my portability of my desk. The cleanliness of my desk (at least most times when working and not like how pictured above lol) goes because of these accessories: *AmazonBasics Premium Single Monitor Stand – Clears desk space and can extend far, up, down, tilt, swivel and rotate to where I need it depending I put the workstation *Tripp Lite 3 Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip with Desk Clamp – Its out of the way and stays right next my monitor stand. Cord is long for portability. *Phive LED Lamp – Clamps on to my desk rather than on top of it. I can slide it anywhere, adjust the arms to where I need it (high or low). Has great lighting when I need it and is dimmable to what I want depending on time of day. *Self Stick Pencil Tray – Under Desk Holder Pop-up Pen Strorage Drawer Organizer – I need to use pens and this gets rid of the clutter of having a cup or pen holder on the desk with pens. It just hides underneath my desk and if I need a pen, I just push it in to pop out the storage case. Its mounted just by 3M tape which is very strong and perfect for pens because not a lot of weight to it. *Multifunction Desktop Binder Clamp Clip – I actually have 2. I used to hold my pens in a cup and put that cup on the binder clip. I’ve gon away from it because of the storage pencil above but now use it to perfectly hold my power cord. I hang it from there when moving my desk or clamp the cord underneath it so it gets out of the way. *HyperX Fury S Speed Edition – Pro Gaming Mouse Pad X-Large - This pad is XL and great. It covers my desk perfectly and can move my keyboard and mouse with out needing to move a tiny mouse pad and have my keyboard half on or half off the little pad. And because I move around using this desk, I can just move my keyboard and mouse to any corner or middle of the desk depending on how Im using the desk. I also use it to stash papers underneath.
