About
I evaluate affordable lamps on cramped desks, scoring clamp bite, hinge torque, dimmer noise, diffusion quality, and flicker to surface durable, glare-safe picks.
Core Beliefs
The best value is precise, controllable light that stays where you set it.
Background
After returning three 'deal' lamps that buzzed or drooped, I spent a weekend shimming joints and measuring flicker next to my kid’s homework. The cheapest winner wasn't the brightest—it held position, dimmed smoothly, and kept PstLM low. That lamp paid for itself in calmer evenings and fewer returns.
