Would this work in an office setting? I sit in a cubicle, but I am worried this would light up the office and aggravate coworkers.

Wouldn't think it should present any problem. Just make sure it's focus is on you and not situated toward a coworker. It's bright, but it is a "happy bright"..not glaring. Probably would go unnoticed for the most part, depending on the heights & set ups of coworkers cubicles, as well as overall office lighting. If office lighting is poor, which is the case many times, then it will be noticed. Make sure you read the directions in order to get optimum benefit.

I don't think so as I was not that impressed with the amount of light so it should be fine\

Yes it would work well there, and it even has a high and low position. We are going to sell our almost new one as we are leaving for Florida. If interested...Mark Contact at Haasmail@sbcglobal.net

In my experience with cubicles, if you have room available to put this possibly under a shelf on the desk but still have it near the computer, that could be a way to avoid aggravating nearby coworkers. It is bright, in fact its generally enough light to light my entire home office, but with overhead lights already in most offices I don't see that this would be much of a problem.

I use it in my office....my co worker has one in hers as well. We do not have cubicles, but it has not bothered anyone who comes into my office when it is on. I think it will be fine in a cubicle setting....I love my happy Light!

Hello... On the lower setting it should be fine.On the high setting it brightens my complete office, like a sunny Cali day.

I have 3 of them installed about 5 feet above my computer desk. It is adequate lighting for working at the desk, but not for the rest of the room.

this is installed in a 9'x9' office and it's adequate. Larger room I would have concerns as well. I believe it's like (1) 100W or (2) 50W halogen

You could it sits on the floor not sure how much light you would get over the desk. I would sit it in front of the desk and adjust the head of the lamp up slightly. I have it sitting next to my recliner in the living room works great for reading.

I have the lamp on one end of a work table that is 4 feet long and 16 inched deep. At full bright, the lamp illuminates the entire surface, but is brighter at or near the lamp. If it were elevated above the surface in the middle back of your desk, it should provide decent work light on most of the surface. This is LED light, not incandesant, so at the same brightness it has a softer bluish appearance. I hope this helps your decision.

well.... I use it in my bathroom EVERY morning. I apply my makeup with it on and in front of a make up mirror. I love it! As far as too bright at work it depends if you share a space with people.... I would never mind it if you were to use it near me in any setting. It is quite bright but for me it is wonderfully soothing and spirit lifting! There are 2 settings, one low and one high. If you have your own desk or your own area that you work in, I think it would be absolutely fine to use at work! Maybe your co-workers would get along better if they are exposed to it! Good luck!

I don't think it would give enough light for your purposes . Think of it as a good closet light or as a work lamp.

How close are your coworkers? What is the background noise like in the office? This is not a quiet keyboard, but if you have a reasonable level of white noise, or reasonably sized cubes, it won't be an issue. I love this keyboard and would make my coworkers deal even if I sat right next to one.

I used it in my office and it seems to be great during the day and my office is quite bright.

The light is focused, yet soft. I use it at my laptop. As a small spotlight at close distance I think it would work if the room is sufficiently dark. I'm trying to imagine how you are going to set it up. As a foot light aimed from the floor or an intervening table. In either case you should not expect good results in a bright room or from a distance. I guess I didn't answer, did I?

YES! You will need to sit a little closer to it, so the light hits the retina. Some people need to be in a A WELL LIT ROOM as well (even when using a full sized box) and I wouldn't use it in the dark...but I find it to be equal to any of my boxes and a lot easier to use...portable, too. The price is well worth it.

Well all I can say is The light does not spread far into the room. It shines on the surface of a desk but does not light up the sides. Good for just one area. Hope this helps

I love it--and as long as it is close to the desk you'll be fine. If it is in corner away from the desk, you'll need a snazzy desk lamp.

It may work very well in an office. It has a single very loud sound that does not stop until you turn it off.

At the low setting it probably would be okay, depending on size of your cubicle. The fan has a small footprint. It doesn't oscillate but adjusts vertically 90 degrees.

If being used as the main source of light I would say no. They would be perfect for extra light above your desk but I wouldn't be happy with 2 of these as the main lighting source.

It's pretty quiet. The most likely problems you would have in a cubicle would be the length of your legs plus the height of the desk. I can't use mine under my desk because my knees hit the desk - ow. So I have to put it against the wall opposite the desk. The other issue is that if you have a desk chair on casters, you will have to swap it out for on that doesn't move. I easily do both of these accommodations in order to be able to bike at work!
