If you've been following my reviews, you might remember my previous unboxing of the Canvas Lamp, which I absolutely adored. Today, I'm excited to do an unboxing of its sibling, the Canvas Focus Light. Just like before, I've added an unboxing video as well:
And yes, there’s a 10% off CANVAS promo code included here >> PIGEONLETTERS10 << because, well, I love discounts, and I love affiliating with brands I genuinely love. Now, let's dive in and see what makes this light special from start to finish.
First Impressions of CANVAS Focus Light
From the moment I opened the box, the Canvas Focus Light impressed me with its substantial weight and sleek design.

What’s Inside the Box
Opening the box, I found:
- A quick start guide
- Focus Light
- Power plug
- Gobo slides (for shadow effects)
The size of the light is just right—neither too big nor too small. It’s perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any desk or workspace. The matte gold finish is a delightful aesthetic touch that caught my eye immediately. I know, aesthetics aren’t everything, but it’s a bonus when a functional item looks this good!
Assembly
Assembling the light was straightforward, even without referring much to the instructions ( 🙋♀️ I'm notorious for not reading instructions). The base is heavy and solid, so the light remains stable once assembled. This is something CANVAS does very well with the bases of their products. The adjustable height and the ability to tilt and rotate the lamp make it incredibly versatile.
CANVAS Focus Light Features
One of the standout features of the Canvas Focus Light is its adjustable spotlight, which you can dim or brighten to your preference.

The lamp’s adjustable height and tilt capabilities add to its versatility. You can raise or lower the lamp to achieve the perfect angle for your needs. Whether you need a focused beam of light for reading or a broader illumination for a work project, the Canvas Focus Lamp can be adjusted to suit your requirements.

This flexibility is also fantastic for creating the perfect cast shadows and unique lighting effects. The light also includes slides that can be inserted to create different lighting effects, such as casting shadows that resemble window blinds or tropical leaves. These effects are perfect for photography, creating a cozy reading nook, or just adding a bit of ambiance to a room (later, "happy light").
Using the Focus Light
The spotlight is bright and can be adjusted to various intensities. I feel like you can utilize this light in a ton of ways.
Adjustable brightness
The Canvas Focus Light features a dimming control that allows you to adjust the brightness to your liking. Whether you need a bright light for detailed tasks or a softer glow for a cozy atmosphere, this lamp delivers. The ability to fine-tune the light intensity means it can easily transition from a work light to a mood light *bonus*

Creative shadow effects with slides
What sets the Canvas Focus Light apart from a lot of smaller desktop spotlight lamps are the included slides that create stunning shadow effects. These slides can be inserted into the top of the light to cast intricate patterns on your walls or surfaces. Here’s a closer look at how each slide can transform your space

-
Window blinds effect: This slide mimics the appearance of light streaming through window blinds. Depending on how you rotate the slide, you can achieve either vertical or horizontal shadow lines. This effect is perfect for creating that early morning sunshine look (my favorite).
-
Tropical leaves effect: Another slide features a pattern of tropical leaves, which brings a touch of nature in. The shadows cast by this slide can make your subject have the vibe of being surrounded by lush greenery.

Practical Applications for the CANVAS Focus Light
-
Work and study: Since this is a bright, focused light, it would work well for tasks that require attention to detail, such as studying, crafting, or working on intricate projects. The adjustable brightness ensures that your eyes won’t strain even during extended periods of use.
-
Photography: For photography or video work, the Canvas Focus Lamp is an on-switch game-changer. The creative ways you can use shadow effects and adjustable lighting make it easier to set up and capture stunning shots. The lamp can be used to highlight subjects, create interesting backdrops, or add dramatic lighting to photos.
Final Thoughts
The Canvas Focus Lamp has exceeded my expectations. It combines functionality with an elegant design, and the additional lighting effects are a fun and unique feature. Plus, with the promo code, you can get 10% off if you decide to purchase the Focus Light (or the Canvas Lamp—or why not both? 😉 ).
