hey I'm seeing that's right Crist and I'm standing here beside the air light Oh LED desk lamp and this is a pretty fancy light cost it's two hundred and forty dollars plus a little extra for shipping and the reason it cost so much is it's gotten Oh le D flat panel light up here it doesn't use a bulb doesn't use a typical LED or incandescent it uses that flat panel Oh led most other LED desk lamps and lighting fixtures in general will cost thousands of dollars so at two hundred and forty this is actually a relatively inexpensive LED product but in the world of desk lamps still clearly a very very expensive lamp now to help justify the high cost of this lamp air light packs in some cool features like touch to turn on so just touch it anywhere on the capacitive aluminum body and you'll turn it on through three brightness settings era light also boasts wireless phone charging smarts by way of a Cheech our geing unit hidden right there in the base so you set your Chi compatible phone down and it'll automatically charge which is very cool especially if you have a phone that's got that built in if you're like me and you use an iPhone or another phone that doesn't have cheap charging built-in you can get a special case that'll add that capability to your device so all in all that's a cool feature but it's not one that's unique to err life you shop around you'll find other lamps including ones that are a lot more affordable than this one that have G chargers built into the base so this is not your only option for that kind of functionality something else to consider is that the lamp isn't flexible it's a single piece of metal so you can't bend the head you can't reposition the light and you also can't adjust the charging pad up to prop your phone up if you wanted to watch a video or something as it charges so unless you're a big-time early adopter and maybe looking to encourage a little bit of desk lamp Envy from your neighbor at the office I say pass on this lamp and wait for this to become more of a developed category with more options thanks for watching check out the rest of our lighting and smart home reviews at cnet.com for seen at appliances I'm right Chris you
