Focused and Discrete IlluminationNathanielThis little 3W light serves as a great bedside or reading lamp that is dim enough not to be a disturbance to others, and can be used almost anywhere with a USB-A port or a wall socket adapter. The beam cutoff is pretty clean and circular. The light color is similar to daylight. Mine is plugged into a small, switched surge protector on my night stand to be able to turn it on and off without unplugging it each time. Utopia would be one of these lights with a small, integrated switch. It would also help to have a USB-C version. Thanks, Ikea!4
Little light-great idea NotsetWe have bought these in the past and just bought 4 more to give away. They are the perfect light when you need to read without disturbing others. We have one in our camper and home.5
Handy in many places DeborahOur family has many of these and use them in the nursery, travel nightlights, reading lights 5
USB lightAmandaConvenient light, but it doesn't have an off switch3
A great $5 light for $7.99!CorlExcellent portable light. Used to be half the price not long ago so the value is reduced. At least the functionality remains great!5
Excellent CharmaineNice lite5
It doesn't work.PatriciaItem doesn't work. Tried several different USBs. It just gets warm near the base and never lights up. This was my first order from Ikea. (I don't live near one.) I only ordered two things and one is unusable. I'm pretty disappointed.1
Great Respectable Utilitarian Light. HarryThe light is a USB flexible lamp and has been serving me for pushing 5 years now without fail. The USB plug is starting to show wear, however I recommend getting a "USB condom" or a "USB isolator" to serve as a secondary plug surface to protect the actual USB plug on teh Jansjoe. It is a nice, bright warm yellow LED light that draws very little power. I respect the decision to not include a switch, as it is, in my experience, often the first thing to fail, and also cheapens the experience by adding little tic-tac switches. If you need a switch, I'd recommend a USB cable with light switch or looking to the desk lamp version of this product.
Be careful to know where the lamp is at all times, incase you accidentally hit the lamp and cause undue stress onto the USB connector it is plugged into.
It would be great to have a companion product that clips onto the handle section of the USB connector and acts as a sturdy weighted base, when plugging into flexible cables for power. 5
Mighty bright ToddFor a compact light. Have a tight space you need a light, need a light to work on a report late at night - have a usb cube and you are in luck. Big bang for the buck 5
Convenient and flexible!RichardThis little USB lamp is an excellent way to provide a light source if you need one next to your computer or laptop. It has a good, flexible gooseneck design that holds its position when adjusted, and also is great for model or craft work to give you a spot light source. Excellent! 5
Little LightNaomiThe light was smaller than expected but it gives enough light for my keyboard use.4
Bright and LightAnonymous reviewerLove the fact that the "cord" is bendable and holds it shape. Could be a bit long, and have an off/on switch. Brightness is just right! And the price was good too!5
Perfect!! a great gift also!!MjPerfect!! a great gift also!!5
USB lightMatildeIt works great.5
Works perfectlyTerriWish I could just rotate the head to turn it off that would be so much better. Pulling it out of the connection is inconvenient4
Perfect for my useShaunPurchased for use in enclosed display cabinet with LÖRBY and simplicity is key for use here. The LÖRBY is connected to AMZN enabled plug for voice activation through Echo. The beauty of JANSJÖ vs. many other similar small USB lights is that it turns on with power being present and without need to press an on/dimming button so in enclosed display cabinet JANSJÖ lights up with voice activation and no need to physically press anything. This aside, the form is beautiful, minimal and very functional. Very small and able to orient the light exactly where needed. Only marks against are that light could be brighter and only available in warm white vs. having pure/cool white option. But if it's bright enough for you and tone of light works for you then this is near perfect.4
Perfect Laptop LampDeborahProvides handy light for close work.5
Just fit for purposeRaymondIt does exactly what I want. When working alone on my laptop at home, it gives a soft lit on the keyboard, saving me the overkill of lighting up the entire room. It doesn't have an on-off switch. But, I am still okay.4
Computer lightAnnwhen I have a student that seeing impaired I make sure I get one of these.5
Great portable lightDebiI love this light. No need to take up lamp space!! And the light is bright.5
