Can the light save it's last setting in power on/off, brightness and color ? I have not found a way, Would like to be able to outlet-control.

BEST ANSWER: If the light is turned on and off from a light switch, the programming will reset. If it is turned on and off via the lamp mounted switch, it will preserve the last setting.

I’m a little confused by your question but this is my response:
Of the four buttons controlling the device, the very bottom one turns the light on and off. When the light is off and you turn it on, normally, it does turn on to the exact last settings you had when you turned it off the last time, in other words, "the lamp always keep the settings you applied". Now and this is a question: Do you have anybody else living in your house that may have access to the lamp and change the settings on your lamp?. To check it, do this: Turn "ON" the lamp and adjust the settings (Brightness & color) to your desire, then turn "OFF" the lamp, wait 2 seconds and turn it on again. Do the same thing ten times in a row. If the settings you put turn on every time to the same settings you put them in, then somebody in your home is messing up with the your lamp and your settings. Now... If the settings change the first time you turn the lamp after waiting the first 2 seconds, the lamp isn't working as it is supposed and you should ask Monoprice for a replacement. Good luck.

The one I have does it automatically. I can turn it on, adjust the brightness and mode then turn it off. Next time I turn it on it's at the same settings as when I turned it off.

The light will lose it's programming if the electricity is disconnected. You'll have to use the onboard buttons to make it stay the same settings without disconnecting the power.

Are these new or refurbished lamps?
A shopper
on Sep 15, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Normally when a business pretend to maintain its reputation and extended services, indicates clearly when an item is refurbished. If they do not mention, it is because it is new. I have already purchased my third of these, and I'm entirely satisfied with their performance. I wouldn't mind to suggest to try one of them.

I just got this lamp and connected it to an outlet controlled by a light switch. I turned on the lamp and adjusted it to my preferences. Then I flick the light switch off, then back on. I expected the lamp just to turn on, but it goes to the night light mode every time. Anyone know of a way to make the lamp "save" its settings and function like I want it to?

BEST ANSWER: The desk light will not retain settings if it loses power, it is not meant to be controlled by a wall switch for on and off function.

Not designed to work that way, i.e. like a regular incandescent light bulb fixture..
Controlling this light on an outlet with a wall switch is like pulling the power plug of the lamp. It is designed to re-set itself to the off position. Probably is part of a circuit protection feature that protects the lamp electronics and led's from power surges and brownouts.

If you use the power button on the lamp it will save preferences. It seems to have on-board memory as long as it has power. If it looses power for too long, that memory is cleared and your preferences are reset. Pretty much as long as the lamps blue light is on it will keep your preference.

By switching off the power to the lamp you are resetting ALL the solid state components thus returning the unit to it's default mode when you switch it back on "remotely". It needs to see power in at all times to "save" its last state.

As long as the power to the lamp is not interrupted it will retain your settings. Once AC is removed the light reverts to it's original settings. I haven't found a way to make it retain the settings through an ac interruption..

The only thing I can think of is to manually turn the lamp off before closing the light switch; the lamp will then have to be turned on manually after the light switch is activated. The setting should be saved.

My light keeps turning off by itself. It comes back on but then goes off again. Could the bulb need replaced?
A shopper
on Dec 13, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Does the off/on issue happen relatively quickly, for example every 5-10 seconds? If so, the problem may not be with the bulb but with your circuit. Try plugging the lamp into a different outlet and see if that fixes the problem. To explain what I mean, I put an LED bulb in my refrigerator. My refrigerator and my microwave are on the same circuit, and when the microwave is running and I open the refrigerator door, the light goes very dim and sometimes off completely. Good luck!

It has several different color temperature settings, which will affect CRI. So it varies I guess is the best answer.

I am more concerned with the state of the lamp when the wall switch is flipped off, then on.
Can you use the wall switch to turn the lamp from on to off, then back to on, or will the lamp stay off until you push the button on the lamp?

How long does the bulb last, and how do I replace it when it eventually stops working?
Michael C
on Jul 18, 2017
BEST ANSWER: There is no removable or replaceable "bulb". LEDs, especially in a low-voltage DC housing like this, are going to last a LONG time, like 50,000 hours or more. They are likely going to outlast the lamp, which is inexpensive enough to replace 10 or 15 years from now. An electronics enthusiast could probably replace the LEDs on the inner circuit board if he/she was so motivated, they don't seem too hard to get to.

It is LED and most LED's last on average of 13 years or 50,000 hours. There is no replacement bulb because there are multiple light emitting diods.

Shuts off by itself
I also have had issues with these lamps over time. Eventually they all seem to start turning off by themselves. I have owned three of them. One returned within warranty period but the other two I am stuck with. I will now tear it down to seen if I can find out why it turns off. I suspect bad switch buttons.

Worked fine for 1.5 yrs, now I am starting to have issues.
This lamp worked fine for me for 1.5 years, and now it has begun having random shut offs after 5-15 minutes of usage. It also doesn't go to the highest brightness at 5000k at times, leaving me to turn it off and back on to hopefully get to the high brightness. Not sure what might have caused the issue but for sitting on my desk all the time I expected it to last longer.

The thin base makes it a great light for tasks, like lighting an audio mixer, because it fits between the equipment and the table.

Nice light and a nice price!
I bought this light after buying two of the clamp lights thinking they would be the same except for the base. They are actually a bit different and the build quality on the clamp lights is better in my opinion. However, this is still a very nice lamp at a very nice price. Highly recommended.

Versatile adjustable lamp.
A great lamp… used it to illuminate an audio circuit board in an amplifier. I was able to adjust the light to illuminate the area around the transistor and also control the amount of light to eliminate glare.
Since the light is slim, I was able to position it so it did not get in the way. I was able to make the repair without removing the circuit board from the case.

Very good. Minor changes could make it better.
This is a quality product that I would recommend. It could be improved by allowing the bottom segment to rotate 180 degrees on the base. and allowing the lamp segment to rotate 180 degrees as well. Also, the night light automatically comes on when you turn the lamp off. The only way to turn it off is to hold the off switch for several seconds when turning off the lamp. It would be better if the night light were separately switched.
A comment on free shipping: As in the past, the free FedEx smartpost shipping was exceedingly s-l-o-w. Tracking showed this was entirely FedEx delay (as I have found with previous orders). Once the USPS received the item, I received it the next day.

Excellent addition to my desk.
This lamp is exactly what I was looking for. Its' flexable adjustment and variety of light settings allows one to get the ultimate spread of light without shadows as needed for up close work like hand writing and drawing. The small footprint uses so little valuable space. A favorite find. 100% satisfaction.
