Hands-on testing pending. What follows is verified reference data and manufacturer specification, marked as such.

What we verified. The reference B0DK7NLK5T designates this lamp on all six Amazon stores we checked, confirmed on EAN.

What the manufacturer states. 6000 K colour temperature, 3200 lux, four brightness levels. Publishing both figures is genuinely unusual in this category — most sewing lamps state a wattage, which tells you nothing about either.

The figure we still want. Colour rendering index. It is what separates a lamp you can match thread under from one that merely makes the table bright, and it is not on this listing. We will measure it rather than assume it.
