Z-Bar High Power LED Lamp- Silver/Cool Generation 2

Ordered this model after reseaching LED lamps on many web sites. This is an excellent lamp for my computer desktop. The silver looks great against my Dell brushed aluminum LCD monitor. Positioning is flexible with the double joints, twisting lamp bar, and included heavy base or clamp mount. Construction has a very solid, durable feel yet is lightweight. Four brightness levels provide more than enough light. I keep it on 3 for computer work. Really like LED low heat and limited angle of projection. This allows me to position this just in front of my monitor without producing screen glare or shining back in my eyes. Yes it is more expensive than most but since it gets used all day every day it is well worth the price to me.

Before purchasing this product beware that we received the lamp defective and have been unable to reach manufacturer again after 5 calls and leaving message. We originally called and we were told to allow them time to check stock and they would send a new lamp section and then send us a return authorization to return the defective part. after calling repeatedly to find out what was happening after 3 weeks we have called 4 times and cannot get anyone to answer. The purpose of writing this detail is to alert those who purchase that if any problem you might get the same treatment and never get any issue resolved! I might add that the lamp functions but is less than optimum brightness and lacking functionality. We are left with wondering if the company, "Koncept Lighting" is or has gone out of business. Please be Forewarned. there are 3 photos uploaded to illustrate this issue.

The light is REALLY concentrated, as in only 1 foot of space receives 90% of the light. This light is sufficient for up to the width of an open text book, but not enough to light up more than that text book or your whole desk. Also, I can see dark spots on the lit area that correspond to the gaps between the LEDs of the bar. It's a little nauseating when I'm trying to study, and it's apparent enough that I can't ignore it. The z-bar is really light and mobile, but I don't move it much from my desk. It doesn't emit any noticeable heat, but the bar gets really hot if you touch it (duh). Did I regret buying it for so much money? Yeah, as you can see I'm pretty dissatisfied with the illumination and those dark spots.

I had the Z-bar light for a short time and then returned it. No, there was no defect, it was the fact that it provided light to a specific area. If you are studying it would be a great lamp but not for what I needed it for. One thing I did notice was that my eyes would hurt after long periods of use. I don't know if it was the light or maybe I was just getting tired. I will say this, you must keep it away fron the eyes as direct light does make your eyes hurt and I was constantly adjusting it so as not to have this problem. Would I recommend it, yes it would be an excellent study lamp.

I could have bought a much less expensive desk lamp but I am a tekkie and this lamp looks so good on my desk. I had originally ordered the 'HIGH POWER' with 6 Next-Gen high power LEDs & Built-in 4-step dimmer, but due to a mix up somewhere I got the 'Super Bright 66-LED Z-Bar LED Desk Lamp By Koncept', instead. I was somewhat disappointed until I tried this one and found it to be completely capable of illuminating my desk top to a comfortable brightness level. I notified customer service people at Bigamazonstore (the Amazon seller) of the shipping error, and they e-mailed me very quickly with an offer to send a return shipping label and a swap or credit may account with the difference. I opted for the credit. If I knew the 'HIGH POWER' version was significantly brighter than this one I would have waited for the swap. I find the light quality to be great for reading with my aging eyes. Text and graphics 'POP' right out of the paper. The light is bluer than sunlight and some people might prefer a warmer light. Without breaking out my light meter and running comparisons I would say this light is at least as bright as a 2 tube fluorescent lamp but with no buzz, no flicker, instant on, and one quarter the power consumption. I wouldn't want to use this light to grade high quality photos for a magazine layout. Again my hat is off to customer support at Bigamazonstore for their quality response.

Like everyone else I was a bit hesitant to purchase this because of the price. But now after using it, I would definitely purchase a second one without hesitation. This is a GREAT light that looks great and puts out some serious light. Sleek and powerful would be a great description. You won't be disappointed. And it's Energy Efficient too.

We received the wrong lamp. We have returned the lamp to the sender. We wanted the version that had the new high power LED's with the dimmer arrangement. The old version did not give enough light. We do not want to reorder at this time. Maryjane E. Scharenberg
