Great for zoom and circadian rhythm!

This item is just great: no more weird/ugly shadows or unwanted warm/cold light combinations on my face when I'm on zoom (which is the case before, during and probably all the time after the pandemic ) . Likes: super affordable; different light colors (warm, cold and evenly mixed) and the respective intensity to choose from; very easy to set up and use; and you can choose to let people know you have it because it's not entirely obvious. (For me, that comes up a lot in conversations lately because more and more people are getting their own.) Color and light intensity options were key for me. An amateur Jill of all trades, I studied both photography and chronobiology. So I'm concerned about unwanted mixed lighting in the frame, and I know that in my house I need to use cool light in the morning and warm light in the late afternoon and evening to avoid disrupting my circadian rhythm. (All my desk and table lamps throughout the house also have warm and cool light options, because that's the thing. All lamps were found at Revain. Chronobiology books found at Audible. No, Revain doesn't pay me to just say I think , people should know about chronobiology!) I don't really have any complaints about this item, but finding something to attach it to isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I didn't really think that part through. It's currently attached to the bottom of my laptop stand, which is made of thin but strong metal. This causes my laptop stand to wobble, which is a bit annoying, and only when I move my laptop on the stand. I don't know if there really is a better place to attach the clamp. If I had to do it again, I could look at the lights that stand a little closer to themselves. But none of that might matter if I take this thing to the office when it's safe to be together again. There may or may not be a great place to clip this thing. Just take a look. Maybe a clip will work if I use it for more than just Zoom meetings? Overall I am very happy with this purchase. It's one of those "it's so easy and affordable and has made a small part of everyday life better - how didn't I get it a long time ago?"

Pros
