The lamp’s ability to adapt to your lighting preferences and mood is truly remarkable.

Controlling the CONO lamp is a breeze with the Nanoleaf App, which is available for download on your smartphone. The app empowers you to choose from a vast array of colors, allowing you to personalize your lighting experience to suit any occasion, whether it’s a romantic dinner, a productive work session, or an outdoor gathering.

The integration of Matter technology makes the CONO lamp even more appealing. With the proper setup, it seamlessly integrates into your smart home.

The CONO lamp is compatible with most mobile devices that operate over Thread and can be wirelessly controlled through the Nanoleaf mobile app. This means that you can easily adjust your lighting settings with a few taps on your phone, enhancing the convenience of your smart home setup.

In addition to its versatility and aesthetic appeal, the CONO lamp also represents a sustainable lighting choice. It is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and comes with a convenient USB-C cord for recharging. The lamp boasts an impressive lifespan of approximately 25,000 hours, which is equivalent to eight to ten years of eco-friendly usage.

Garmin Lumina portable light for campers and hikers has it’s own satellite communication module

Posted on by

Garmin is a pioneer in GPS technology adaptation for lifestyle products – durable and reliable smartwatches and communication devices being its crowning achievement. While you bet on taking the Instinct 2X Solar to your next big expedition, another reliable camping product from the American, Swiss-domiciled tech MNC would do no harm.

This is a concept lantern envisioned for Garmin, packed with the advanced GPS tech that we all swear by. The designers call it the Garmin Lumina lantern, and for obvious reasons.

The clip-on camping accessory can be attached to a tree branch, belt loop, cord, or tent via the robust carabiner. When you don’t desire to use the clip-on function, it can be concealed into the base for portable use. It’s quite slim and can easily be stuffed into a tent pocket or backpack without taking up much space. The non-slip exterior is made for outdoor use and the waterproofing feature makes it well-suited for rain-soaked days.

According to Offsite Design, the portable lantern’s design is inspired by Garmin InReach Mini, and the compact form factor addresses the similarity. The adaptation of satellite communication features is what sets this portable light apart from other similar offerings in the market.

The Halo light surrounding the outer frame indicates there is an incoming/outgoing message from loved ones. Orange indicates that a message is being sent, green denotes a sent message, while red means the message is not sent. It also sends back your current location to loved ones at set time intervals, no matter where you are out in the cliffs. Another important safety feature that could mean the difference between life and death.

Other than this unique function the lantern has most features found on such accessories. The white light can be toggled for intensity level as desired. It can be juiced up with a USB-C connecting cable, and although the designer hasn’t informed about the battery capacity, we assume it’s going to be stellar.

This ultra-portable adventure light snaps onto your gear or bicycle to keep you outdoor ready!

Posted on by

For outdoorsy enthusiasts, some accessories are an absolute necessity – portable outdoor light being one of them. A headlamp solves a wide range of purposes when out on an adventure trip but there is still room for improvement, don’t you think? Sure, a small design evolution can bring a totally unseen functionality to something as simple as a compact light that you can carry in a backpack or even the front pocket of the pants. More so in modern times when life is an adventure unknown, whether going on a hiking trip, camping escapades or simply biking on the outskirts of the city for fitness.

Cha Hongkun, a designer from China has pondered over tweaking the design of a portable light to an extent where it addresses an even wider array of activities. Cha calls it the “Ray” – an outdoor accompanying portable light with a never before seen form factor. It’s essentially a wide strap that can be hooked onto your bike, backpack, or anything one can think of. It goes without saying – Ray is an outdoor essential accessory that’ll never let you down. The ease of use and portable credentials make it one accessory I would want in my absolute essentials for a trip anywhere.

The portable LED light can be charged with a USB-C compatible power bank or via a wall outlet. What’s got me hooked on here is the cool choice of colors the designer has penned for Ray. The royal blue, cool blue, and bright orange are all so tempting. Plus that hook-on functionality is truly unique for an ultra-portable personal light. Take my money and tell me it’s going to hit the shelves pretty soon!

Portable lights come in all shapes and sizes with a plethora of designs. But this one uses air to blow up into a full sized design! Everglow Light Tube by Klymit stands out from the rest for a design that’s both functional and highly useful in a number of situations. Klymit being an outdoor gear company very obviously has tailored this inflatable light for camping and adventure enthusiasts, but I can think of dozen other uses as well!

The inflatable function, you can literally expand the light like a balloon, solves two inherent purposes – diffusing the light so that it doesn’t hurt the eyes and spread easily, and the other is of course the portability aspect. A pocketable design that is ideal for any adventure, or even at home for emergency  use. The flexibility of the form factor permits it to be used as a hanging LED light – stick it to your base camp ceiling to use as a lantern, or attach like a hanging light to the awning. Everglow Light Tube is powered by a USB input – so you can attach it to a power bank or any other USB outlet. There’s a light dimming function to easily go from low light for reading to a blazing light for cooking with a click!

This portable light brings so much to the table – be it your camping adventures, off-road escapades, or the odd hiking trip up the mountains. It’s been designed in a way to add convenience and versatility to how we are accustomed to using portable lights. Simply stuff it in the corner of your backpack, and when the need arises, inflate it to a full-sized tube light to light up your dark nights under the starry skies.
