Introduction

Panpany is a brand new company with a new product line which digitaldingus will be reviewing here for the first time. Their debut offering is an LED desk lamp which is meant to be very simple but yet very functional. From their Facebook page, they are focused on Tools & Home Improvement.

Panpany LED Table Lamp

The Panpany LED Table Lamp is very modern approach to putting light where you need it most. But not just location, the type of light is also a consideration, and with an LED source for this light, there is much less power consumption and the need to replace the "light bulbs" is not necessary. In fact, the Panpany LED Table Lamp is designed for long-term use, without the need for replacing the LEDs.

Slim, Sleek, and Simple

The biggest advantage of the Panpany LED Lamp is the smooth, high-quality aluminum parts which fit together like a glove, creating something of an art piece. The entire surface of the lamp has minimal protrusions, and since the buttons function by touch versus "push" (see the image below), and don't have a mechanical switch sticking out like many lamps do, contamination from dust and water is very unlikely.

Variable Lighting Options

There are 4 levels of light available to you (the 5th level being OFF), and on the highest setting, the lamp produces quite a lot of light for its small size. Perfect for reading a book or anything requiring dedicated light on a smaller and focused area, the Panpany can easily make sure you have enough light for these various situations.

USB Port To Charge Small Devices

On the back of the Panpany LED Lamp, is a USB 5V/.5A charging port. While not designed for charging of major devices, you can use this for many smaller devices, like bluetooth headsets and ear pieces, and even mobile phones. With mobile phones, it will probably take a little longer to charge than using your dedicated charger, but if you don't have access to your charger...and the Panpany lamps is conveniently on your desktop...why not charge it.

Packaging

Packaging for the Panpany LED Table Lamp is very impressive, and I always like to give a shout out to those companies who do their best to minimize the plastic packaging. When I received my Panpany LED Table Lamp, it was entirely packaged in cardboard. This cardboard can be easily recycled at home or through your local recycling center without issue.

Conclusion

A new company which is focused on improvement in the home and tools, Panpany has made a good impression with me with their initial product. The way the HML01 was designed to be put together is simply amazing. Try going to your favorite hardware store and finding such a lamp which can be broke down into pieces like these. And second, try to find one under $50.

Having a design which will accentuate any home, a high quality aluminum construction, as well as a bright light output when needed, the Panpany LED Table Lamp receives a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

As noted above, I look forward to a model which can integrate an adjustable arm, so the lamp can be raised higher. In fact, Panpany might be able to manufacture a longer arm for this model and sell it individually. Just a thought. In any case, I'm sure the Panpany line has some really innovative and high quality ideas for their LED lamp series, as well as other products on their way.
