This is a perfect USB-C powered light. Immaculately packaged, it comes with clear instructions and a 450mm USB-C charging cable. The clip part of the light is 75mm by 40mm, the head is 60mm by 18mm, and the flexible neck is 155mm long.
The light has three colour modes, and each can be dimmed by pressing and holding the power switch. Pressing the power switch changes between colour modes, and a forth press will switch off the light.
Unlike other lights I've tried, this one works whilst it is charging. Charging is indicated by a small red LED next the the USB-C input. The red LED is tiny, and doesn't distract whilst using the light. I've included images of this in action.
Surprisingly versatile, I bought this purely for reading but have found it to be great for playing my Nintendo Game Boy, macro photography (mushrooms and fungi especially) and drawing. Personally I find the light sufficient on its own to provide enough light to draw at night.
The battery works as stated, offering about two hours of light on a full charge if I run it dimmed to the lowest setting.
I paid £7.58 for the light, and I honestly can't fault it.
