If you're embarking on a new scholastic journey, you might find studying from home challenging. For one, a dimly lit room doesn't make learning easy as it's terrible for your eyes when you're trying to cram.
If you've had enough of trying to get work done in the dark, we suggest the Metal Mother Daughter LED Floor Lamp, a great addition to any office. It's on sale for $34.99 during our Back to Education event, which ends August 24. Plus, $0.50 of your purchase will help students in need. After you purchase this lamp, we'll send an email where you can vote on the charity or school you want us to send your donation to.
There aren't many lamps with the same duality as this reading light, so let's get into it. With a slim body, a 4.4lb base, and an incredibly bright set of lights, this lamp fits virtually any room or space. So you could set it up on your couch or rocking chair and study, code, design, or away from your desk. (It's also a neat desk companion if that's your thing.)
So, why is this called a Mother Daughter lamp? The smaller 9W "daughter" lamp provides a direct bust of light for reading, writing, and digesting material so that you won't strain your eyes in the dark. Meanwhile, the 32W "mother" portion lights up your whole room. If you turn both lights on, you'll get a total of 36W at the same time, making your space just as bright as your well-lit school or office (but not as bright as what's in the great beyond…maybe).
Not into the current mood lighting? Try one of the other four brightness levels or color temperatures to your liking using the touch panel or remote control. You'll enjoy ultimate brightness in whatever mode for 50,000 hours of working or leisure time.
You'll also be doing some good in the process after your purchase is complete. For every purchase from our Back to Education collection, a portion of proceeds will be donated to students or kids in need. Once this promotion ends, we'll announce the organization that won the vote to receive your contribution.
Rated five stars in our store, you can get the Metal Mother Daughter LED Floor Lamp with a reading light for $34.99 (Reg. $52). Act fast. Our Back to Education Event only runs until August 24.
John Deere uses DRM to prevent its own customers from repairing their own vehicles, pushing them to use the company's own overpriced service options. A new jailbreak for the systems announced this weekend at DEFCON by Sick Codes restores a measure of ownership to the owners. Moreover, it shows that John Deere's implementation is as… READ THE REST
An old lady in England got a voice assistant as a gift. A devout Catholic, she asked it to say the Hail Mary. Delighted when it did so, she made it a daily habit. And Amazon was charging her for it, writes Patrick Collinson, her son. She had "unwittingly ordered" a subscription for an app… READ THE REST
As Ars Technica puts it, "ISPs can't find any judges who will block California's Net Neutrality law", and it's not like they haven't been shopping hard. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, who voted for federal net neutrality rules in 2015 and opposed their repeal in 2017, applauded yesterday's court decision."This is big. Because when the FCC… READ THE REST
