NewerTech Media Coverage If you do a lot of business travel -- or end up cramming work into your pleasure vacation -- you've no doubt come up against a human wall or two in your day. When a couple is holed up in a hotel room -- even if it's spacious -- one of the pair is likely to squawk if the other has the light on until the wee hours. So, we can all do the math: I do the writing . . . ergo, I get the adamant protestations lobbed my way!

For those trips when you're not restricted to shoving everything in a backpack, here's a lightweight solution to your work light problems: NewerTech NuGreen LED Desk Lamp. I was glad to be hosted to experience it!

It has clear, pure white LED lighting, so there's no yellow to strain your eyes with. It's great light to do your nails by, to pick the exact right color. With its gooseneck, you can adjust the lamplight -- like a rainshower head -- to be certain it doesn't bother anyone else in the room. The lamp itself is light to carry.It's available through Other World Computing for $54.99.

It turns on and off with the touch of a fingertip . . . that alone beats the pants off hotel lamps! I can never find their switches, because sometimes they're at the bulb or the base or on the cord. I often end up yanking them out of the outlet to turn them off.

Here's what they say about it the NewerTech NuGreen Flexible Neck LED Desk Lamp:

"Adds focused, energy-efficient pure cool white light for a brighter workspace.

The NewerTech NuGreen Flexible Neck LED Desk Lamp is the modern answer to desktop lighting needs. Featuring 50 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), NuGreen produces light similar to natural daylight, makes it perfect for dorm rooms, apartments, and bedrooms. Further preventing disturbing roommates or a spouse with light glare is the flexible "gooseneck" that lets you position the light beam precisely where you need it.

Using only 3.6 watts total power, the NuGreen saves both money and the environment. The LEDs last up to 45,000 use hours...up to 22 times longer than tradition bulbs...and can be recycled because they contain no mercury. Besides its cool looking stylish aluminum design, NuGreen is cool to touch too. The LED lights don't emit any heat and the lamp turns on with a gentle finger tip touch to the red ring power indicator.
