5.0 out of 5 stars great light, July 1, 2009

I have owned as many as 10 LED lights. This one is the best. It uses 6 AA batteries which lasts a long time. Also, you can power it with USB cable via your computer's USB port or a USB power adapter.

It is very versatile and flexible. You can adjust the height, direction, angles of the 8 bright LEDS thanks to the two telescopic support. Also, the brightness of the LEDs can be adjusted too. It is easy to adjust the lights to keep it away from other people who may be sleeping beside you.

The LEDs are bright and white. It also comes with a small storage compartment.

All things considered, this is a fine LED lamp. To sum it up:

Pros:
1. Inexpensive
2. Adjustable light output, and VERY bright at max setting
3. Adjustable height, angle
4. Battery (3-AA min, 6-AA max), USB, or AC-powered (though no AC adapter is included with the LPL900)
5. Portable

Cons:
None, considering the price

Caveats:
1. Since light output from an LED tends to be very focused, and due to the strip-style layout of the LEDs on this lamp, overall light distribution can be somewhat uneven if the lamp is not properly positioned/adjusted (i.e., very bright directly under source which fades noticeably away from source). From my experience though, you should always be able to get the exact amount/type of light you need by fiddling with the lamp's intensity, height, and angle options. You can also tape a strip of paper, foil, etc to the lamp to act as a shade which allows even greater directional control of the light output (i.e., angling the LEDs towards you too much can otherwise be distracting/blinding)
2. Cheap, plastic construction might be a turn-off for some. Regarding the telescoping arms, think old school tv/radio antennas, because that's exactly what they are
3. USB cord to power the lamp is extremely short (about 2ft), and the end that plugs into the lamp is a DC barrel connector (i.e., USB and AC will use the same jack on the lamp)
4. The blue LED on the on/off switch is EXTREMELY bright. It can literally act as a night-light, as it literally lights up the ceiling of my bedroom quite nicely

5.0 out of 5 stars What we wanted, February 23, 2009

We wanted something to use on counters and tables during power outages. This unit appears to be fine for the job. It takes 3 or 6 AA batteries (not supplied). Using either number won't change light output, just the amount of time before replacing batteries. Hold the switch down and all eight lights get progressively dimmer. The tube of lights rotates and the arms are moveable. One pleasant surprise: the arms are telescoping. Folds up into a compact unit. We're glad we bought two of them.
