Pros
- Clamps to the top of the monitor, freeing the desk footprint that a traditional lamp would occupy
- Auto-dimming sensor and adjustable color temperature let you match ambient light without fiddling with a remote
- Asymmetric optical design directs light onto the desk while avoiding screen glare
- 4.7/5 across 5,376 reviews signals unusually consistent owner satisfaction for a lighting product
Cons
- At $109, it's priced well above generic clip-on LED lamps with similar brightness on paper
- Powered via USB from your monitor or a hub — there's no standalone charging port for phones or accessories
- Won't sit securely on ultrawide curved monitors or very thin OLED panels without the compatible mount
