I like this one...

LED desk lamp

it's brighter than most and the wireless charger works pretty good.

Leaving this here so I can come back to buy later - Amazon LED lamp
Checks all the boxes: bright, tilt AND swivel, usb connection, and usb block power source. I hate being that guy blocking outlets with power wart blocking a port or 2 when its already crowded. A NFC charging would be nice but isnt necessary. I usually just need to either charge my phone or remote. Hardly both at the same time.

That one persons review has me sold :nod:

It is similar to the one I use. It is very nice to have as a pit light. I like the ability to change the different values of K.

I tried one of those amazon ebay lights and it broke, the metal where it bends at the base.
Maybe some ppl are more careful with their stuff and it was just me being hard on it but wasn't impressed.

Why some expensive RC brand and not one of the many choices of desk lights you can find on Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress etc.

The only good thing about my RC branded pit light is that it can be run on its internal battery for a while. For everything else, my (much cheaper) light from Amazon is as good or better - again, for a fraction of the price.

No internal battery but will work on anything that powers by USB and color adjustable: Mafiti Bureaulamp, led, dimbaar, tafellamp, 5 kleuren en 3 helderheidsniveaus, oogvriendelijk bedlampje, USB-aansluiting, voor lezers, kinderen, kantoor, zwart : Amazon.nl: Klussen & gereedschap

dosent have to be rc branded for me. i dont give a rip personally.

BUT! the rc branded ones do tend to be the ones with the rechargeable feature that i am also looking for. if there is a non branded one that fits the bill, that works for me too

to the OP: muchmore pit light stand pro 2.
pros: adjustable brightness and tone (K). usb-a and wireless charging. runs off 11-15v dc (lightweight, compact, no extra 120v plugs). x and y axis adjustable.
cons: more expensive than other options off-brand(s).
neutral: no internal battery means it has to remain connected to a power source, also means more compact/lighter.
