Desk lamp
A clamp-on desk lamp is ideal when you want flexible lighting without sacrificing desk space. You simply attach the lamp to the surface and direct the light exactly where you need it—for work, hobbies, or study. Siltcon's LED clamp-on desk lamps are adjustable, dimmable, and provide bright, flicker-free light. This keeps your workspace organized, comfortable, and well-lit, even during extended use.
Frequently asked questions about the Siltcon LED desk lamp
How do I attach the desk lamp with a clamp?
The Siltcon LED desk lamp is designed for desks up to 11 centimeters thick. This means it fits virtually all standard desks, from simple home workstations to sturdy office and gaming desks. The clamp ensures the lamp is securely mounted without drilling or screwing.
To ensure the lamp fits properly, it's wise to check two things. Measure the thickness of your desk top where you want to mount the lamp and check that there's no frame, cable duct, or drawer directly in the way underneath. If your desk has a rounded edge, it's often better to position the clamp a little further inward on a flat surface.
Mounting the lamp itself is simple. Simply place the clamp on the edge of the desk and gently tighten it until it's securely in place. It doesn't need to be extremely tight, as long as it doesn't shift during normal adjustment. If you want extra protection for your desk, for example, if it has a wood or lacquered finish, you can place a thin felt or rubber pad between the clamp and the desk.
A major advantage of this mounting system is that it keeps your desk neat and tidy. You don't lose any workspace to a lamp base and can position the lamp exactly where you need it.
How do I adjust the light properly for working, reading or gaming?
This desk lamp offers up to 1500 lumens of light output and features 20 brightness settings. You can also adjust the color temperature from warm light to cool daylight, between 2700K and 6500K. This gives you plenty of freedom to tailor the light to your activity.
For working and studying from home, many people choose neutral to slightly cool lighting with a medium brightness. This helps them stay focused and ensures that the paper, keyboard, and screen are easily visible. In the evening, when reading or relaxing, a warmer, slightly dimmed light often feels more comfortable.
When gaming, it's important that the lighting on your desk is well-lit, without reflections on your screen. A neutral or slightly cool setting, not too bright, usually works best. For drawing, painting, and other hobbies where detail and color are important, you might want to choose brighter lighting with a neutral to cool tone.
A helpful tip is to first position the lamp correctly and then choose the desired light mode. If you position the lamp higher and wider, the light will be softer and more evenly distributed. If you position it lower and more focused, you'll get more light focused on a specific spot.
Is the light comfortable for my eyes when used for extended periods?
Yes, this lamp was designed with eye comfort in mind. The light is flicker-free and shadow-free, meaning your eyes will tire less quickly during longer work or study sessions. It also has a low glare rating, keeping the light even in your field of vision.
High color rendering also plays a role. With a CRI value above 90, colors are displayed faithfully. This is beneficial for creative work, but also for regular office work where you frequently switch between screen and paper.
For maximum comfort, it's important that the light isn't shining directly into your eyes, but rather directed at your work surface. Try to balance the light level with the brightness of your screen and the rest of the room. Especially in the evening, a slightly warmer, less bright light can help your eyes relax.
Is this desk lamp suitable for wide desks or a dual-screen setup?
The Siltcon desk lamp is suitable for workstations up to 180 centimeters wide. This makes it ideal for desks with two monitors or for people who use their workstation in different zones, for example, working and writing side by side.
For a dual-screen setup, it often works best to place the lamp centrally behind the monitors. By raising the lamp slightly and angling the light downward, you can illuminate your entire workspace without any reflections on the screen.
If you work at a smaller desk or in a student room, the clamp is a major advantage. The lamp doesn't take up any space on your desktop yet provides ample light across the entire surface.
How do I operate the desk lamp with clamp?
The lamp is easy to operate using the touch controls on the lamp itself or the included remote control. This is useful if the lamp is just out of reach, for example, behind your monitors, or if you want to quickly switch between different light modes.
You can adjust the brightness and light color without interrupting your work. Many users choose one or two favorite settings, for example, a working mode for daytime and a warmer setting for the evening. This way, you always have the right light quickly, without having to search for it every time.
The lamp is adjustable in height and width, allowing you to use it for both targeted and wide applications. This makes it flexible and suitable for a variety of tasks.
What about delivery, testing and warranty?
If you order the lamp on a business day before 11:59 PM, it will be delivered the next day. Shipping is free within the Netherlands and Belgium. You can then try out the lamp in your own workplace for 30 days. Lighting is personal and depends heavily on your space and usage, so this trial period gives you the chance to experience whether the light really suits you.
You also get a standard 2-year warranty. Should anything go wrong during that period, it will be properly resolved with repair or replacement. This way, you can be sure you're investing in a desk lamp you'll enjoy for years to come.
