Small criticism from a right-hander

If you want to lead the lamp cable to the rear, then it must be to the right of you. As a right-handed person, I would have the problem that the hand shadow falls on paper / the keyboard / etc. when writing or drawing. If you place the TaoTronics lamp on your left, the cable can still be led away to the side or back, but it is more noticeable. A small flaw in modern design ...

AUKEY alternatives to the desk lamp from TaoTronics

The AUKEY LT-ST 16 desk lamp with LED field comes with three joints, also flicker-free light, four light colors and the option of charging a USB device such as the iPhone via a corresponding connection. The control panel of the black desk lamp is also very modern. And the cable can be led away individually;)

The AUKEY LT-T11 desk lamp is also from AUKEY, but with a simpler design, a flexible arm and fewer light levels or light colors. Of course, there is also a USB connection for the iPhone or another device / external battery. The flexible desk lamp with dimmable light also costs much less than the aforementioned models.
