2.5 ClearSun LED Technology Overview
The OttLite Restore LED Desk Lamp utilizes proprietary ClearSun LED technology. This technology is designed to closely match the spectral output of natural sunlight, providing balanced and smooth lighting across the entire visual spectrum. This helps to reduce eyestrain by up to 51% and enhances color rendering, making colors appear more vivid and true-to-life (CRI of 97).

To clean the lamp, ensure it is unplugged from the power outlet. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes as these may damage the finish or electrical components.

The integrated LEDs in this lamp are rated to last up to 40,000 hours under normal use. The LEDs are not user-replaceable. If the light source fails, the entire lamp unit may need to be replaced.
