OttLite Entice LED Desk Lamp with Wireless Charging (Blue or Metallic Silver) review

The current U.S. product page groups two finishes under the Entice LED Desk Lamp: Blue CSDQA80W-SHPR and Metallic Silver CSDQA02W-SHPR. OttLite’s product record maps a separate gallery image and variant ID to each finish, while the linked instructions name both retail codes among a larger Entice family. The sources reviewed describe no functional difference between these two colors, so this assessment keeps both exact identities together without extending its claims to other family codes. It is a source-based review, not a hands-on test.

Folding arm with two articulation points

OttLite describes an aluminum arm and shade with two points of articulation, and lists an 11-to-22-inch height range. The exact variant images show the linked support between base and lamp head. Taken together, the maker’s stated two-point design and the documented arm form support a two-section articulation classification; the height range is not a horizontal reach map. The lamp folds down when it is not being used, but the sources do not give a folded-size envelope.

The product record and instructions support a tabletop-base plan only. A flexible or jointed arm does not create a clamp or clip arrangement. The base measures 4.4 by 6.4 inches according to the product page, so check that footprint along with the device-charging area and the cord path. The maker does not publish a 90 cm width at 500 lux, maximum lumens, or a measured spot or beam map for this model.

Three manual color modes and dimming

The exact instructions list three color settings: 2700 K warm white, 3500 K bright white and 5000 K ClearSun daylight. Touch Up and Down keys adjust brightness within the selected mode; the instructions do not state a fixed count of brightness levels. These are manual choices. No ambient sensor or automatic paper-and-screen mode is documented.

The product page describes ClearSun technology, but the exact product page and model instructions do not publish a numeric color-rendering index. That omission matters for a shopper who requires a maker-stated Ra threshold: a color-temperature menu and an LED technology name do not establish numeric CRI. The reviewed sources also give no 500-lux coverage width, so the two-point arm and selected color modes should not be mistaken for proof of coverage across a wide work surface.

Qi and USB charging are separate from lamp power

The base provides two different external-device charging routes. The instructions identify a Qi pad in the center of the base and require a Qi-certified device to be placed face up and centered. They list the pad’s output at 5 V / 1 A, or 5 W. A status light signals whether charging is active and whether the phone is positioned correctly, but the manual says the lamp does not show when the device is fully charged and that charging times vary by device.

A separate USB output sits at the lower rear of the base. The manual identifies it as 5 V / 2.1 A for a tablet, phone or similar device. It is not the lamp’s power input: the task light uses its supplied AC adapter, which the instructions list as 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz input and 12 V DC / 2 A output. The pad and wired port serve different device configurations, so verify the phone supports Qi before treating the pad as useful and check that the USB port is accessible where the base will sit.

Exact model and service limits

The current page lists Blue CSDQA80W-SHPR and Metallic Silver CSDQA02W-SHPR. Both image records are variant-associated with their respective SKUs, and the linked manual names these codes together with other related Entice codes. That manual family coverage helps establish the controls and charging instructions for the two current finishes; it does not turn every code named in the PDF into a current SKU or prove package equivalence beyond the reviewed page.

The manual says to use the supplied adapter, limits use to indoors, and states the LED source is not user-replaceable. It also warns that a Qi device may become warm during charging, calls for periodic checks of the device’s own charge level, and does not promise a particular charge time. These service and charging details matter more than a generic “wireless charging” tag. The product page’s technology wording is not independent evidence of eye-health benefits or a measured lighting result.

Who may prefer Entice

Entice is worth comparing when a foldable arm, three manual color temperatures, adjustable brightness and separate Qi and wired charging functions are useful in one corded tabletop lamp. It has documented two-point articulation, but it is not a lamp for someone who requires a published 90 cm-at-500-lux width, a numeric Ra value, an automatic sensor pair, a clamp, a clip or battery-powered light.

Before buying, match the exact finish and SKU, check the 4.4-by-6.4-inch base and 11-to-22-inch height against the desk, and confirm the exact adapter. Verify Qi certification and centered placement for the wireless pad, and make sure the underside USB port will remain accessible. The photos identify the Blue and Metallic Silver variants; they do not establish light output, compatibility or the fit of a phone case. Use the finder’s base and arm choices to see the documented candidate set, then review the exact package and operating instructions separately.
