The Xiaomi LED Desk Lamp 2 is our Best Color Accuracy pick: Ra95 at 3900K, 112 LED modules across a wide bar, and a 2700K to 5100K range, for around ₱2,500 as of August 6, 2026.
What does Ra95 actually get you?
Color rendering scores how true colors look under a light, out of 100. Ra95 is the top of what consumer lamps reach, and it’s the highest figure in our desk-lamp picks alongside the Baseus Smart Eye.
In practice it matters if you work with color: painting, drawing, photo editing, make-up, checking fabric. For reading and homework, Ra90 already looks natural, and the step up is hard to notice. Be honest with yourself about which you’re doing before paying for it.
The 112 LED modules are the other half. Spreading output across that many emitters in a wide bar means light lands evenly across the desk instead of forming a hot spot, so nothing to squint into.
What are the catches?
Two, and they’re real. It’s the most expensive lamp in our picks, and it’s mains powered only, so it does nothing during a brownout, unlike lamps costing a tenth as much.
Xiaomi also doesn’t publish a luminous flux figure for this model, which is odd given how thoroughly it documents the 1S. You get 10W and Ra95 but no lumens, so you can’t compare its brightness numerically with the 500 lm Lite or the 520 lm 1S.
With 50 owner ratings, it also has far less feedback behind it than the long-running 1S.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱2,500 as of August 6, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Across the 25,000-hour class of LED life Xiaomi builds to, that’s small money per hour, but the honest comparison is against its own sibling: the 1S gives you Ra90 and a published 520 lm for around ₱600 less.
Who should buy it
Buy this if color accuracy is part of your work and you want the best light Xiaomi sells for a desk. It’s the right choice for artists, designers, and anyone grading photos. For everyone else, the 1S is the smarter buy.

Alternatives to consider
Want most of this for less? The Xiaomi Mi LED Desk Lamp 1S publishes 520 lm, Ra90 and app control at a lower price. Want Ra95 that also works cordless? The Baseus Smart Eye folding lamp matches the colour rendering and runs 13 hours on battery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Desk Lamp 2 and the 1S?
Colour rendering and spread, mainly. The Desk Lamp 2 reaches Ra95 across 112 LED modules in a wide bar, while the 1S is Ra90 with a narrower head. The 1S publishes a lumen figure and the Desk Lamp 2 does not, and the 1S costs noticeably less.
Is Ra95 worth paying extra for over Ra90?
For most people, no. Ra90 already looks natural. Ra95 is worth it if you work with colour, paint, draw, or grade photos, where small shifts matter. For reading and homework the difference is hard to notice.
What is the model number?
MJTD06YL. Xiaomi sells several similar lamps including the 1S, the Lite and the Pro, and the listing photos look alike, so match the model before ordering.
Does it run on battery?
No. It is mains powered only, so it stops working in a brownout. If you need a lamp that survives a power cut, buy a rechargeable model.
