A carbon footprint is the measure of the amount of greenhouse gases, measured in units of carbon dioxide(CO2), produced by human activities or products. CO2 is created from the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal to create electricity. A carbon footprint can be measured for an individual, organization, or product and is typically given in tons of CO2-equivalent (CO2-eq) per year. A typical North American generates about 20 tons of CO2-eq each year.

Customer Reviews

This is an extremely beautiful lamp. Even the box containing it had an elegant shape, and I was really excited to open it when I saw the slim figure of the lamp. However, two fundamental problems exist.
First, the light is not bright enough. This wouldn't be much of the trouble if you can better adjust the angle; however, as I will mention below, it does not fully cover the big textbook. Second, which relates to the first problem, is that you can't adjust the angle of the light. You can only vertically lift the neck from 0 degree angle to up; you can't twist it left or right. You might have the same urge as I did to breake it a bit to better light the book...
The switch to turn it on/off is another disappointment as well, as it feels fragile and cheaply made. I am probably going to keep this as I already have another lamp, but serioously consider the brightness issue plus its angle problem before you buy it.

Experience:
As a college student, this is a great lamp especially if you have little desk space and poor lighting. The awesome feature about this lamp is that is can fold down when you are not using it and takes up a small corner of your desk. It seems people have been stressing the lamp brightness (or lack thereof) which made me hesitant in buying this at first, but there are no problems with brightness. I actually think anything brighter would hurt my eyes. It does get pretty warm when on for an extensive period of time, but I wouldn't really say it gets hot.
Night Light:
It's like a bonus. Just don't get this lamp exclusively for its night light feature. It helps when you're watching a movie on the computer and you still want to see the keyboard to chat or something.
Look and Feel:
The matte texture of the neck and stand is finely grained (for those of you who own a Playstation 2 or 3, it feels like that), and the head is a glossy black. A pretty minimalist and modern design--it looks very professional.
Pros:
-The light is diffused uniformly unlike other LED lamps with a cone of light.
-Low-profile and detachable power cord. It resembles a phone charger.
-Decent price. Although it looks like the price went up a little since I bought it, if you're looking for a good quality LED lamp (especially on Amazon) for a good price, this might be your best bet. Lamps are expensive ):
Possible Cons:
-When opening and folding the lamp, it may be a little stiff.
-For some reason the power cord plugs into the top-back of the lamp. The cord can be tucked behind the neck.
-Which brings up another con: the back of the neck is open/hollow. This makes the lamp in the picture look nicer than it really is, but don't get me wrong, its a nice lamp and the plastic is thick.
