The LED DECO LIGHT 001 (item number: deko0001) is a freestanding LED desk light from Taiga Shoji's LED DECO LIGHT series. The sales page describes LED DECO LIGHT as the predecessor of the wasser series. According to the specs, brightness has 3 steps—about 110lm, about 220lm, and about 330lm—the light color is neutral white, maximum power consumption is about 2.8W, and power is AC100V. It has a touch switch that turns it on/off and dims it with a light touch, and the arm lets you adjust the light's height and angle. Rather than a high-brightness, feature-rich type, it is a simple desk lamp focused on 3-step dimming and touch controls, worth considering for study desks, desk work, reading, and PC work. Note that the same sales page also sells No,002, which has different specs, so check that you have selected "No,001 AC power type" when purchasing. Check the sales page for the latest pricing, stock, and color options.

Design

An LED desk light with a simple, slim stick-like design that minimizes bumps and edges. It is made of steel and aluminum, and the weight is listed as about 700g. The size is about W160–320 × H320–625 × D320mm, with width and height changing depending on how the arm is positioned. The sales page notes that the underside of the base is cushioned and made of a non-slip material. No,001 comes in white, black, champagne gold, pink, and silver, and black also fits easily into a black-based desk setup.

3-step dimming at about 110 / 220 / 330lm

Brightness has 3 steps, listed as about 110lm, about 220lm, and about 330lm. Rather than a type with fine stepless adjustment, it is a 3-step dimming desk light where you choose from three brightness levels. 330lm is the maximum; how bright it actually feels varies with the installation position and room environment. Rather than a high-brightness type that lights the whole desk widely, it suits lighting the area you need, such as your hands or around your PC.

Touch switch and neutral white light

It is a touch-operated desk light with a touch switch (touch sensor light) that turns it on/off and dims it with a light touch. The light color is neutral white, and the sales page lists the standard color temperature as 5000〜6500K. There is no color-adjustment function; operation is simple, switching only the brightness in 3 steps. The sales page says you can adjust the space to "light that is easy on the eyes," but how light looks and feels varies from person to person.

Movable arm and freestanding installation

The sales page states that the arm lets you adjust the light's height and angle, and that it can be used for both direct and indirect lighting. Because it is freestanding, no clamp is needed; you simply place it on your desk. The size varies within about W160–320 × H320–625 × D320mm depending on its position, so check the space it needs at the height and angle you want to use.

AC power type with maximum power consumption of about 2.8W

No,001 is the AC power type, with power at AC100V (50Hz/60Hz) and an AC adapter integrated with the body. Maximum power consumption is listed as about 2.8W. There is no built-in battery, so it needs power from an outlet while in use. Checking the outlet position and its distance to your desk in advance makes planning the installation easier.

How it differs from other desk lights

R13 Picks also features desk lights of other types. The atRise Y0662 is a base-type light that can be used cordless if you choose a rechargeable type, the Sanwa Direct 800-LED079 is a clamp-on light with 3 lights and up to about 1650 lumens, and the LIT000101 is a freestanding desk lamp that uses an E26 bulb. The wasser39 is a clamp-on light with up to about 760lm and stepless dimming, and the wasser27 is a freestanding light with stepless dimming and color adjustment, a 30-minute timer, and a night light. This LED DECO LIGHT 001 is a freestanding light focused on 3-step dimming, touch controls, and up to about 330lm. The point is not which is better, but choosing by installation method, the features you need, and the area you want to light.

Use for study desks, desk work, and reading

The sales page lists scenes such as lighting for study desks and desk work, PC work, and reading. You can consider it if you are looking for simple desk lighting—for studying as a study desk light, around your PC as a desk work light, or as a reading light. To set up your whole desk area, R13 Picks' "5 desk setup picks" and "10 Best Work Gadgets" may also help.

Points to check before buying

The same sales page also sells No,002 (USB power type), a push-button model with stepless dimming, whose brightness, light color, weight, and other specs differ. This article is based on the specs of No,001 AC power type, so check the type you have selected when purchasing. The warranty is listed as 1 year (limited to natural failures and initial defects under normal use according to the manual), but the latest terms on the sales page take priority. The sales page also notes that specs may change without notice due to product improvements. Check the sales page for the latest pricing, stock, and color options.
