Super-Bright 14 LED Flex-Neck Table and Reading Lamp Review

I purchased two of these lamps directly from American Science and Surplus several years ago, and they are both still working. I was surprised by the quality for such an inexpensive lamp.

The lamp housing and base are fairly lightweight plastic. The base is in two pieces held together by two small screws. There is a battery door in the center of the bottom of the base that allows access to install 3 AAA size batteries.

The lamp head is sealed and permanently attached to the gooseneck. There are 14 LEDs giving off a reasonable amount of bluish-white light. They are not extremely bright, but they give enough light to read comfortably in the dark with this as the only light source.

There is a black plastic push-to-make, push-to-break (sorry for the jargon - push it once to turn it on, again to turn it off) switch on the base near where the gooseneck attaches. They both still work and show no signs of being ready to fail.

The gooseneck itself is so high quality for this price that it is almost shocking. It allows a tremendous amount of movement of the lamp head and seems like it will last a long time.

The only drawback to these lamps is that they weigh so little. I have made plans to open the base, glue in weights and glue some non-skid rubber feet on them to make them a bit more stable. I have also considered getting more, adding a DC electric feed and modifying the base to make them console lights for a video studio.

These are great little lights. I have used them during power blackouts and on walks at night. They fit nicely in a variety of pockets and the head can be positioned to keep your hands free. One could also use them for any number of costume/device designs.

I have yet to use up a single set of batteries, although I don't use them terribly often. One could use lithium AAAs to get a very long shelf life and extra burn time.

American Science is a great company to do business with and they mail simple newsprint catalogs with some very funny catalog copy (one of their trademarks). I heartily recommend them and these lamps.

Product Description:
Tiny Table Lamp On tiny tables or the desktop, this lamp throws a nice puddle of light for its size. The 4-1/4" x 3" x 1-1/2" tall base supports an 8" long gooseneck with (14) bright white LEDs at the top. Silver-plastic and chrome, with a pushbutton switch on the base, it comes with (3) "AAA" batteries. We're putting ours on top of the dresser so maybe we'll finally be able to tell what color socks we're taking out of the top drawer, but it would make a nice little reading or camping lamp. Should give 15 hours of light with fresh batteries.
