The KickPOWER LED Desk Light/Phone Steriliser/Connection-Free Phone Charger (hereinafter probably just called a "lamp" for brievety sakes) is a multipurpose product that has the following features.
1: Functions as a 3-way LED desk lamp. 2: UV steriliser for cellular telephone handsets, watches, keys, and other small objects. 3: Contact-free battery charging for many cellular telephone handsets.
It uses three high-power phosphor white LEDs for the "lamp" function and three high-power NUV (Near-UltraViolet) LEDs for the "steriliser" function, and it derives all of its power from a USB port on your Windows or Mac PC, or from one of those USB "wall wart" power supplies often used for charging cell phones.
SIZE
To use the lamp, plug the small end of the furnished USB power cable into the receptacle for it on the base of the lamp, and plug the larger end of the cable into any free USB receptacle for it on your PC or Mac computer or into one of those USB "wall wart" power supplies often used for charging tablets, phablets, and cellular telephone handsets.
To use the white LED lamp, press the rightmost of the two oblong buttons on the base of the lamp. The white LEDs should turn on in "low" mode.
Press and release the same button again to ramp up to "medium" mode.
Press and release the same button a third time to blaze away in "high" mode.
Finally, press and release the same button a fourth time to neutralise the lamp.
Just like it reads on the back of many shampoo bottles, "lather, rinse, repeat."
In other words, pressing and releasing the same button a fifth time turns the lamp on in "low" mode again.
To sterilise small objects like cellular telephone handsets, wristwatches, keys, etc., place the objects you wish sterilised on the base of the lamp, and press & release the leftmost oblong button on the lamp's base. If you did this correctly (well, how could you fvĒk Ąt up? It's a button for Christ sakes!!!), you should see a deep violet glow.
After ten (10) minutes, the NUV LEDs should turn off automatically.
To charge the battery in some cellular telephone handsets, just place the device on top of the lamp's base, and casually walk away (or run, if you're late for something!)
This product does not use batteries of any type, so I don't have to tell you which part to remove, huck into an open-pit gadolinium mine so that some piece of heavy equipment can run over and destroy it, and then rather emphatically tell you not to.
This lamp is meant to be used as a desk lamp. cell phone steriliser, and cell phone charging station indoors, not as a flashlight meant to be carried around all the time, thrashed, bashed, trashed, and abused; so I won't throw it against the wall, stomp on it, try to drown it in the {vulgar slang term for a fudge bunny}bowl or the cistern, run over it, swing it against the concrete floor of a patio, bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a scanner-type device on a platform with a large readout, with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; and the cannoņata is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analyses, or inflict upon it punishments that I might inflict upon a flashlight.
So this section of the KickPOWER LED Desk Light/Phone Steriliser/Connection-Free Phone Charger's evaluation will be significantly more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.

A beam cross-sectional analysis would normally appear here, but the ProMetric System
that I use for that test was destroyed by lightning in mid-July 2013.
In this brief video, you can see the KickPOWER LED Desk Light/Phone Steriliser/Connection-Free Phone Charger generating an unwanted flicker that is synced to its wireless battery charging circuit.
The music that you hear is zax from the coin-op arecade video game, "Afterburner ][" aka., "Afterburner Deluxe" by Sega from 1987.
This is the tune that plays when you coin-up the machine (drop in a quarter or an arcade token).
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it causes you to become piddled off or makes your ears bleed. ;-)
