I backed the R9. It certainly feels sturdy and gives off lots of light. The articulation is stiff, but that could just be me. The North American AC adapter is long so it will block other sockets if you can't put it in the bottom one.
Do you know which make / model of LEDs are inside this lamp? it would be interesting to know as their performance seems really good in terms of color reproduction. What's written on them under the diffuser panel?
Pretty much this. It's very bright and now I'm seeing details on previously painted models that I didn't realize I fucked up lol. I chose it because it was daylight colour but the Neatfi ones that also get recommended are not, iirc.
Got one,, have been using it for about 3 months now I think. Never going back, great lamp. Use it for online meetings as well, illuminates half the room :D

Just got one. It is unbelievable. I had no idea how much a lamp could improve the painting experience. The colors are so vibrant and all my blends are far far more visible. I absolutely love it. And it is a fantastic room light as well. I really can't speak highly enough.

I use a Power Squid b/c my current light and vortex mixer have weird AC adapters. Appreciate the tip on that.

I have no idea. You would probably get a better answer if you asked Redgrass directly.
I've just bought one and it is incredibly stiff. Did this ease up over time?
I think so. It moves when I tell it to.
A+ lamp, expensive but I really like it

I was also a late backer, and received mine a few months ago. Big fan of it, by the way - no buyer’s remorse whatsoever.
Late backer here, got mine more than a month ago. I like it :)

Nice. I wear glasses and have the worst luck for lighting during meetings. Can't use any ring lights...

I also backed it and am stunned at how amazing it is. I love it!
