Would this be too bright to keep on my desk next to a 24" LCD and a 15" macbook screen? I'm a software developer and don't want it to distract me.

The first few days, it kind of bugged me, but not only did it stop bugging me, but I made sure I had it on every day for 20 mins or so. I mean, it does make you happy, after all! :)

Probably. It's pretty voluminous to keep directly in front of you. It's not obnoxious and it doesn't hurt your eyes to stare into it but it is a very bright soft beam. When I have it on in my room in the evening its the only light i need on. It lights up a room better than any of my table lamps. My boss kept one in his office but it was a huge office and he's a dramatic guy. He also kept it behind him instead of in front of him.

Brightness is personal preference. You might be fine with it, and another person may not be. So unfortunately I'm unable to answer that. keep in mind that the directions explain that the light should not be directly in front of you. So you might want to place the light in the corner of your desk.

Yes, like most other computers nowadays, you can turn the brighest low enough that the screen turns off. It this "bright room" of yours is equal to a really hot sunny summer day than it might be hard to see but thats different so i think itll be alright. This computer is definitely worth it.

I have it 2 feet away on my desk. It takes a little getting used to and then it's fine. It does have a two settings, one is very bright and the other is not as bright. I usually use the dimmer light.

The monitor has a matte screen, so there is no noticeable glare from my overhead fan light. However, it would probably depend more on where you have your lighting in the room. I would not put a bright light directly behind you.

It IS bright. Personally I do not suffer/care, because the box is strategically located in the kitchen, where all mobile devices meet... As an additional bonus, it creates ambient lighting there during nighttime. But for those putting it in the bedroom this might be a challenge...

No, it won't be. But I think you need to worry about size than brightness. your dashboard might look cumbersome.

Yes, There is a lot of light with this unit and some times it is too bright. The down side to the unit is that it does not have any support other then the "USB socket". (don't bump into it or try to maneuver it without supporting the socket). I put a rubber base on it to allow it to touch the desk when plugged in for support of the socket and have had no issues.

I think it should be fine. Against a off-white wall, it's very good and used with a proper screen it's very bright. So much so that I run it in economy mode to preserve the lamp.

Depends on the size of your shop and how bright you need it to be. I would say generally, yes but it may be a little dim.

I would not say the screen display is bright like a TV screen. That would take a lot of battery power and shorten the surprisingly long battery life this tool has. It's easy to read if the environment is well lighted though.

Hello, you can adjust the brightness of the screen for better viewing in bright situations. Thanks, and let us know if you have any other questions.

I think it's probably one of the better lights for a cubicle environment. It may still be a bright spot for someone sitting across from it though. I propped up thin piece of cardboard to cut the glare the person me might see while still being able to benefit from the brightness.

Yes, especially if the other things in your room (lamp, desk, etc) are in light colors. The colors will really pop and the room won't seem too dark.

It won't be as bright as normal lighting, and it's on the bluish side, but I've been able to light my studio apartment well enough to see everything. Plus, you can pop the top off, exposing the LEDs, and if you hang it by the bottom hook from the ceiling it will light things up pretty well.

Hi, not too much glare with room lighting. Overall pretty happy with it but keep in mind that you cannot adjust the angle of the display (at least I have not figured it out). but that has not been a problem. Fairly quick but slower than my mac book pro likely because of the solid state drive.

I have the lamp on one end of a work table that is 4 feet long and 16 inched deep. At full bright, the lamp illuminates the entire surface, but is brighter at or near the lamp. If it were elevated above the surface in the middle back of your desk, it should provide decent work light on most of the surface. This is LED light, not incandesant, so at the same brightness it has a softer bluish appearance. I hope this helps your decision.

I love it--and as long as it is close to the desk you'll be fine. If it is in corner away from the desk, you'll need a snazzy desk lamp.
