$54.99as of Jun 7

The Brightech Litespan is the task-light specialist: a slim, gooseneck LED reading lamp that aims focused, glare-free light over a chair, desk or craft table while drawing just 12W. It is the most affordable lamp here, stays cool to the touch, and carries a 3-year warranty. It is not built to light a whole room and its dimmer is local-only, but for reading, hobbies and over-chair task lighting in a small space it is the standout.

Strengths
  • Adjustable gooseneck aims focused light exactly where you need it for reading or crafts
  • Integrated LED draws just 12W while delivering bright, glare-free task light
  • LEDs stay cool to the touch even after hours, reducing burn risk
Watch-outs
  • 850-950 lumen output is for task lighting, not filling a room
  • Built-in dimmer cannot be controlled by external smart devices or remotes
  • Fixed warm-white tone on the base model (color-temp options only on other versions)

Brightech Sky LED Torchiere
$69.99as of Jun 7

The Brightech Sky LED Torchiere is Reviewed.com's top floor lamp pick and the best all-around LED uplight for the money, pushing roughly 2,190 lumens of warm 3000K light from a slim, minimalist aluminum pole. Reviewers praise its brightness, stability and ease of use, and it draws just 30W. The integrated LED is non-replaceable and the warm tone is fixed, but as a bright, attractive, affordable room-filling torchiere it leads the category.

Strengths
  • Integrated LED puts out around 2,190 lumens, enough to brighten a full room as an uplight
  • Slim aluminum pole and disk head give a clean, Scandinavian look that fits small spaces
  • Touch-sensitive control on the pole offers three brightness levels within easy reach
Watch-outs
  • Integrated LED is non-replaceable, so the whole lamp is disposable when the diodes fail
  • Only three fixed brightness steps rather than stepless or tunable color
  • Fixed 3000K warm-white tone, no cool-white or daylight option

How they stack up

Brightech Litespan LED Floor Reading Lamp

The task-and-reading specialist, the opposite of the room-filling Brightech Sky LED Torchiere and TROND LED Torchiere Floor Lamp. Far less bright than the SUNMORY 69" LED Torchiere Floor Lamp and without the smart color of the Govee Floor Lamp Pro, but the only lamp here with a gooseneck for focused, directable light.

Brightech Sky LED Torchiere

The best-value all-rounder, brighter and better-looking than the budget Brightech Litespan LED Floor Reading Lamp but, like it, fixed in output range. Less bright than the TROND LED Torchiere Floor Lamp and without the tunable color temperature of the SUNMORY 69" LED Torchiere Floor Lamp or the smart color of the Govee Floor Lamp Pro.
