Good for lighting small projects.
I got this light in hopes of helping get some better lighting on small soldering projects and I'm happy to report it works quite well.I like that it uses USB so I can plug it into the USB port on my power strip and not use a plug, that's pretty handy. I also like that the arms are long and have good range and stay where you put them. So far so good.The power line has a little set of buttons that let you turn on both lights, or pick one or the other to be lit. Very handy. You can also dim/brighten the light which is good. The lights are spotlight style so they're quite focused on the work.Now for what I think could be improved. The color of the lights is a single cold bluish light that you'll be familiar with if you've used LED lights. I wish it had some adjustment to allow for slightly warmer tones.The clip also isn't great. It's kind of like big chip clip that fits on the edge of my workbench just fine but I kind of wish it had a clamp style to make it more sturdy.Since it's made for use with microscopes, it's a little too focused on the lights coming straight up out of the clip and I wish they were able to come out the sides to let me put the clip dead center of my workspace and then kind of bend the lights around each side to focus on my project. However, the arms are long enough that I can offset this and still get the spotlights where I need them.All in all, it's a good addition to the lighting on my workbench.
