4.0 out of 5 stars A great light for reducing eyestrain from a computer screen., September 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Ott-Lite L18332 VisionSaver Desk Organizer with Data Port (Office Product)

This light is infinitely better than normal flourescents. When you first turn it on, it does seem VERY white and bright, but that's compared to normal office lighting. When the sunlight comes into my office indirectly for that 1 hour a day, I am amazed that the light shining on my desk from the lamp matched the light being reflected in from the outside sunlight. So if you're concerned about whether it really matches sunlight -- it does.

It is bright, so shining onto a computer monitor isn't the correct usage. It should be used indirectly -- bouncing off the walls or desktop. This lamp doesn't allow the light to be directed upward (it's a desk lamp afterall), which the only thing I wish it had so it could illuminate the whole office.

The dataport is just a way to extend your wall phone jack to the light (not a incredibly useful feature, but what are you buying it for?). You plug a wire between the wall and the jack on the back of the lamp and then plug your laptop modem into the jack on the front...

The electronic ballist makes it flicker free, too. Between the flicker free and the natural spectrum, my eye strain has almost gone away while working on my computer in my office.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Marketing, ok product, November 11, 2002

This review is from: Ott-Lite L18332 VisionSaver Desk Organizer with Data Port (Office Product)

I was looking for a "daylight" type desk lamp and research the net for such lamp. What I found out in brief are:

-This liht is a standard flourescent light with a "special" CFL bulb that puts out 6500K range light.

-You can replacement a regular lamp with a Compact Flourescent Bulb in this light range for much much less $$$. ...

I am put off by the marketing hype (Dr. XXX research ### years, etc, etc) but then again, uninformed buyer will always pay more...

This is an excellent desk light. The natural sunlight it produces is perfect for checking the colors in your digital photographs and prints. It is easier on the eyes for reading and sewing. The lamp is a pleasure. We bought one as a test and like it so much we bought a second lamp. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the built-in telephone jacks are a waste and detract slightly from the lamp's appearance.
