However, you’ll get quality in return, and a lamp that offers greater functionality than simply illuminating your desk space. The OttLite Dual-Shade LED Desk Lamp offers just that — two prongs of  built-in LED lighting with touch and temperature controls shared in by a single base. This way you direct light over two different  work areas, like your laptop and paperwork that you're trying to review at the same time.

Despite its somewhat complex design, the lamp was extremely easy to set up. The Nova is also available with a desk clamp, a wall mount, a cooler 4,000 K light, or with extended arms for even greater reach . Unless you’re in dire need of additional ports/power, skip this option. The E7 isn’t going to win any style awards, but the lamp’s rangy, simple design is unobtrusive.

I really noticed it when I was a guest on a podcast; watching the video back made me realize how poor the lighting was.
