what the community says
- >“The Edge Light Go feels like a category of lamp that should already exist—but mostly doesn't. It is a small but powerful work light that's unfettered by proximity to a power outlet.”— WIRED reviewer (Matthew Korfhage)
- >“At heart, the Edge Light Go offers the same matte edge-lit light as the original, and actually a higher max intensity. It's just become my new rim light whenever I need to do product shots for small devices.”— WIRED reviewer
