FIELD NOTES / VERIFIED OWNERS
Used every day.
★★★★★
The arm stays exactly where I put it. The warm setting has replaced every other desk light I owned.
★★★★★
Bright enough for model making, but never harsh. The physical controls are the whole point.
★★★★★
Video mode is subtle and useful. It lights my face without making the room feel like a studio.
SUPPORT / S1
Questions, answered.
Can I replace the LED module?
Yes. The LED board, diffuser and driver are individually replaceable. KADO service parts are designed for standard hand tools.
Does S1 remember its last setting?
Yes. S1 restores the last brightness and colour temperature after power is switched off.
How does the five-year warranty work?
The warranty covers manufacturing faults for five years from purchase. Repair is prioritised before replacement.
Is the light suitable for video calls?
Yes. Video mode uses a broad, balanced output designed to reduce hard facial shadows and screen reflections.
What arrives in the box?
S1 Task Light, weighted base, AU/NZ power supply, adjustment key, care guide and five-year warranty information.
