Frequently Asked Questions
How bright is it and can I dim it?
Check the specs for the lumen rating and dimming steps — this one is built for comfortable, adjustable light rather than one brutal setting. Warm to bright, you dial it to the moment.
How many do I actually get?
The set runs to 2 pieces — that is the real count, not a rounded-up marketing number. It is the figure worth comparing against price when you are looking at similar sets.
Is it battery, USB, or plug-in?
The power setup for this model is in the specs — rechargeable ones run cordless for hours, plug-in ones never need charging. That detail decides where it lives.
How hard is it to install?
Most of these mount or set down in minutes — magnetic, adhesive, or freestanding as shown. No electrician and no wiring; that is the design goal of this whole category.
Can I change the light color?
Yes where noted — the modes switch between warm, neutral, and cool so evening light is soft and task light is crisp. Set it once and it stays.
How long does a charge last?
The runtime is in the specs — days per charge on the low setting for most of these, less if you keep it at full brightness. USB charging tops it back up in a couple of hours.
