  • UPDATE: There were so many responses to the questionnaire, BenQ selected TWO winners of this lamp. The winners are "Mike" and "Chuck" (last names withheld), they have been contacted and shipping is being arranged.
    I review the BenQ e-Reading Desk Lamp (note: this is not the Genie model that I put in text in the video) for use with miniature painting. It's not the cheapest - but it might be the best? For a limited time, BenQ is running a giveaway of this lamp. Fill out this questionnaire (link below) - once at least 30 people have responded, we'll select a winner - I will announce the winner on Instagram and BenQ will ship them the lamp! Note: the giveaway is only applicable to US and Canada (BenQ's rules, not mine, don't shoot me!).

    lol, I also got an offer to review one but I turned it down because of the price and because you usually need two of them for uniform lighting. Two of those would be prohibitive

    You know, that lamp IS pricey, but amazon has a monthly payment option for it, you can spread it out over 5 months. Both I and my wife need good lamps, I may get one or two. Thanks man👍👍👍👍

    Really cool lamp. I bought one (a different lamp) recently, but I would probably use this one in addition. Mine isn't nearly this nice. I filled out the questionnaire, so maybe I'll win it! My eyesight is going downhill, so more light would be amazing.

    Daylight's good, but not an option for me. I prefer do my miniature painting at nights, even on weekends.

  • @markhickson9087
    @markhickson9087 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the review. Its a nice looking lamp but way too pricey for just a hobby lamp. I'm planning to go for two led panels like the Viltrox L116T.

    I'm a commission painter so perhaps I could justify this if it really was that much better than what I currently have.

  • @KirlianSilvestre
    @KirlianSilvestre 3 роки тому +2

    it seems to be wonderful, pity that its price is well above the budget of the majority here in the country, it must be worth it for those who work with paintings.

    Thanks for reviewing this lamp, it's an interesting alternative to the normal setup like you mentioned. I filled out the form, but I have to say that those questions became very judgmental and a tad creepy.

    That's a cool lamp, but a bit spendy. Maybe I'll win one! I would sure put it to good use, as I have had the one I'm using now for 20 years or so.

    You seem to refer to a different model. The one you show in your Video is the WiT e-Reading Desk Lamp while in the Text you say to have reviewed the Genie e-Reading Desk Lamp.

    Parts of that questionnaire were super weird. There were a bunch of questions about the UA-camr’s level of attractiveness and other stuff about physical appearance.

    Saying multiple times it's pricey and expensive but never mention the price is a bit irritating.

      The price will vary depending on where you look to buy it, sales etc. It's easy enough to look it up on the Amazon link.
