Which one to pick
Take the Dyson Solarcycle Morph

What each one gets wrong
Dyson Solarcycle Morph
- Connecting a lamp to an account and a Wi-Fi network sounds like a chore
- You draw or paint and want soft, wide, shadow-free coverage
- Something has to be repairable years from now — nothing here is user-serviceable
Lepro LED Desk Lamp
- You match paint, thread, or makeup under it — color rendering is the compromise here
- You need a USB port on the lamp, since this one only takes power
- The lamp will be repositioned constantly; the base is light enough to shift
