How would you like to read that late night novel in very dim, almost non-existent light with the lamp being powered by the Phonejack at your place? Not a very appealing idea, is it? Well, considering that it is not really legal using the small amount of power that your phone line carries and also taking into account that you draw almost nothing out of it, the idea of Desk lamp seems both whimsical and more of a pretentious green gadget than one that actually serves little useful purpose. The little lamp is quite simple, consists of what seems to be cheap LED lights and priced at $6, quality might not be a strong point of the Phonejack.
Going energy-efficient not just means that you conserve on energy by using the small amount that is normally wasted, but making sure that the production, packaging and transportation of the device itself is an eco-friendly process. The fact that you might very rarely, if ever, use this lamp makes it all the less energy-efficient. If anything, it might just come in handy as an emergency lighting source when your main power line is out and even then, it is neither effective nor very mobile. For now, it’s a thumbs-down for this unique desklamp!
