Modern lamp with traditional look
After decades of coping with smaller or make-shift bed-side reading lamps, I finally decided to go with a well-designed solution. This lamp is well made with very flexible adjustments. An included Allen wrench allows tightness adjustment of the all the movable joints. The LED light is of pleasant quality. The heavy base will remain stable over all conceivable position adjustments.
The small knob controls all the action. There is a bit of hysteresis here: you turn the knob about 30 degrees before the LED illuminates, then you can back it off SLIGHTLY to achieve the minimal light output. The range of available intensity of light output is moderate: turning the knob all the way up results in just a modest increase in light output.
The handsome bronze finish appears durable except on the control knob. The knob's top is not finished (has a stainless steel look) and the bronze paint on the cylindrical knob surface looks like it will shed over time - not really a big issue.

Perfect SOHO IP phone
I'm actually replacing a couple Yealink touchscreen IP phones with this Cisco model. I had originally selected the Yealink based on features/price and ease of configuration. While the Yealinks are very fine phones, they occupy a large footprint and the touchscreens are just a bit fussy. Eventually I researched Cisco IP phones again, and discovered this model that is fully configurable with just a web browser. Specifically, the idea is to return to hard buttons for all phone operations. The SAP525G2 provides a great color screen and many other features that made it the clear choice. Just as important, it still seems widely available and well-priced for both new and like-new purchase.
I found the web configuration interface instantly familiar, since my first VoIP experience was working with the likes of the old Linksys PAP2T. In fact I still have my PAP2T and fired it up to pull off the dial plan I had worked out, to use as the starting point for my custom dial plan for SAP525G2.
But there remained much new to discover in the SAP525G2's web configuration interface, with the essential help of the downloaded Administration Guide. I had to set up an http-based file server to upload my custom screen background image to the phone. I then discovered that I had to set up a tftp server to upload my carefully curated custom ring tones to the phone. (Note the Ring Tone Utility cited in the Admin Guide does not work with this model.)
Another enjoyable challenge to puzzle out was connecting my iPhone to the SAP525G2 (via Bluetooth), to remote my cellphone service onto the Cisco (just like hands-free cellphone operation in a car). This required reading Cisco's downloadable and essential User Guide, because the first step must be to use the phone button/screen interface to change the Bluetooth mode to "Handsfree" - only then will the Cisco's Bluetooth device scan locate the iPhone. After that, it's easy to complete the pairing. The iPhone appears on an unused SAP525G2 line key, labeled with the name of the iPhone - quite cool.
Our actual usage experience with the SAP525G2 has been great so far. The user interface is highly intuitive and the response to button presses is instant. I just wish it were possible to make "Missed Calls" a default idle-state softkey - as it stands you must delve several levels into the Menu to review Missed Calls (unless you are willing to turn on the rather intrusive Missed Call Banner feature).

Sweet spot for general usage
1 of 1 found this helpful My primary use for a portable power station is in the field to power telescope, camera, and laptop equipment. However, it will also be used occasionally around the house for pure convenience of access to charging or an outlet. I was immediately drawn to the BLUETTI power stations due to their LiFePO4 battery technology. I selected this 268Wh model as the sweet spot: useful capacity with modest size and weight, all required outputs including USB-C, and optimal value cost/Wh.
The station is well-built and all works as advertised. Operation is simple - there are absolutely no menus or modes. Separate push buttons activate each section of power output (AC, DC, USB). Pressing a button also activates the brilliant backlit status display. Later, a long press of the same button will deactivate that output section. This simple operation is exactly what I need in the field on a cold night.
