Product: Ultrabrite Edison LED Lamp with Wireless Charging & RGB Lighting
Model: UDLV0301A-BRS-DS, UDLV0301A-PTR-DS, UDLV0301A-TTN-DS
Condition: New
Vintage Style
Edison-Style LED bulb combined with metal pipe-like design creates a vintage look that blends into modern styles.
Adjustable Brightness
Touch-sensitive control panel allows you to choose between 5 brightness levels.
Eye Comfort
Choose between 3 different light color temperatures (warm / natural / bright light) to suit your comfort and lighting needs
Adjustable Head & Arm
Double-joint arm allows various angle adjustments to point the lamp where you need light most.
Chroma RGB Lighting: One touch of the Chroma button activates an auto-cycle of colors on the RGB spectrum. Touch again for the lamp to remain on the color of your choice.
Night Light
Use as a night light with the night light button
Wireless Charging
The base of the lamp functions as a charger for any Qi-enabled device.
Energy Saving
The LED bulb consumes a fraction of power required by normal incandescent bulbs, and will last much longer.
Metal Weighted Base
Ensures the lamp is stable on any surface, from floors to desktops.
@agnesnutter@troy Anyone notice the RBG item? Not sure if that was a typo or reference to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, aka the Notorious RBG (that was her rap name).
@highonpez Can’t imagine something that advertizes three color temperatures in addition to RGB is user replaceable. On the upside, it’s LED, so it should last forever.
For some reason [like with incandescent bulbs] LEDs lamps fail when being turned on- it seems to be the on-off cycling that triggers their failure, not how long the bulb has been lit.
@highonpez@troy There is no bulb. Looking at it closely, I see a bunch of LEDs that are likely soldered to a board. The good news is that LEDs have such a long life that it’s likely to fall apart or break before even one LED fails.
My current color changing bulb is now useless because the phone app is no longer available and my old phone is dead.
But this lamp has touch controls!
From the comparison site:
One touch on the Chroma button activates an auto-cycle of colors of the RGB spectrum, touch again for it to remain on the vibrant color of your choice
You can also choose between three modes of color temperatures (warm/natural/bright light) according to your comfort and lighting needs
Use as a night-light via a convenient one-touch button
And sure, it’s a little bit of a stretch to invoke Marie Curie’s name in the same breath as our target customers, many of whom right now have pending credit card transactions reflecting their deliberate purchase of a bag full of regrettable nonsense.
We hold these truths to be self evident…

Pretty sure it’s not “vintage.”
@j4yx0r Vintage look, modern tech
That timeless RGB LED look
@agnesnutter RGB is optional
@agnesnutter @troy Anyone notice the RBG item? Not sure if that was a typo or reference to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, aka the Notorious RBG (that was her rap name).
I’m trying to figure out, how proprietary is the bulb? Don’t want a one-use lamp.
@highonpez Can’t imagine something that advertizes three color temperatures in addition to RGB is user replaceable. On the upside, it’s LED, so it should last forever.
@highonpez @PooltoyWolf The cheap drivers are what die.
@highonpez Bulb is proprietary
LED has a 35,000-hour lifespan. That’s:
4 years of 24/7 use
12 years at 8 hours a day
48 years at 2 hours a day

@highonpez @lichen
@PhysAssist @troy I’ve read that it’s due to thermal shock when turned on. Makes sense to me.
@highonpez @troy There is no bulb. Looking at it closely, I see a bunch of LEDs that are likely soldered to a board. The good news is that LEDs have such a long life that it’s likely to fall apart or break before even one LED fails.
Ditto. Is the bulb replaceable?
@mlhosni Will have to check in the morning. I can’t imagine its not!
@mlhosni @troy Also, is the bulb proprietary? What socket?
@mlhosni @troy I doubt it is user replaceable like a standard screw-in bulb, due to the multiple color options.
@mlhosni @PooltoyWolf @troy “1x Ultrabrite Edison LED Lamps”. Edison base is a standard screw in base.
@krmugn52 @mlhosni @PooltoyWolf “Bulb” is proprietary
LED has a 35,000-hour lifespan. That’s:
4 years of 24/7 use
12 years at 8 hours a day
48 years at 2 hours a day
@krmugn52 @mlhosni @troy At least it looks halfway well-engineered!
@krmugn52 @mlhosni @PooltoyWolf @troy
Unfortunately, Edison is both a shape and a base.
It more commonly refers to the shape right now, since there are so many bases in use that they’re best identified by number.
@krmugn52 @mlhosni @troy @whogots Yup, E26/E27 would be the Edison base.

I should hope RBG is quite cool by now.
@whogots That’s more than most drivers or politicians.
@whogots Yeah, RBG was way cool!

@ArmchairGamer So, like a first date, I guess you have to keep touching buttons in multiple places in the dark until you get the right mode?
@sdansmith hah!
Realistically, I’m assuming the first mode is “blindingly bright” for that middle of the night shock.
Well, I still have a coupon so giving it a shot.

Similar on BB…states bulb is NOT replaceable…shade glass, bulb plastic…hmmm
hmmm been needing a good bedside lamp
