This “Lava lamp on steroids” can light up your space in any color or gradient you can imagine!





It might look like a glow-stick, but the Moonside lamp is capable of producing colors and gradients that no glow-stick can ever match up to. Underneath its translucent outer body sits a matrix of RGB LEDs that can be custom-programmed to light up in a variety of patterns… like a psychedelic lava lamp that fills your room with an absolute ocean of hues.

Hundreds of Dynamic Lighting Effects from Moonside App

Quite aptly called the Moonside Neon Lighthouse, this cylindrical little baton of light has about 90 RGB LEDs on the inside that can reproduce 16 million colors each. That’s more gradients/combinations than my mind can even come up with. Its vertical cylindrical shape pays homage to its long-time ancestor, the candle, and comes with similar proportions and a frosted, waxy-white exterior that, however, instead of lighting from the top (like a candle), lights up from the inside instead.





Sort of like a multi-color standalone tubelight, the Moonside Lighthouse can be used in a whole variety of ways. Pre-program it to light up your room in your favorite colors, or sync it to the colors of your favorite team when there’s a match on. Alternatively, you could connect it to your music app and turn your home into a makeshift discotheque, or even use the Moonside as a lighting prop for your photography projects.

The LEDs cover the entire body of the lamp, shining light in 360° with up to 800 lumens of brightness (which means you can use the Moonside as a portable flashlight too). The lamp is supplied power via a USB-C port, and can either be controlled via a smart controller remote, via the Moonside app, or even your smart home assistant.

You can build your own integrations via IFTTT too (creating custom themes to suit each Spotify playlist, or doing odd things like programming the light to go green when the price of Bitcoin goes up, or red when it drops).

Easily the sleekest, smartest, most vibrant little lamp ever, the Moonside comes in 4 variants (where you get to choose the color of the lamp’s metal base) and begins shipping this month (August 2021).

Move over, TikTok Sunset Lamp. This ambient lamp/speaker soothes your soul and wirelessly charges your phone too

It’s difficult to box the Zense into a single category because it does so many different things. It’s an ambient light, a smart speaker, a wireless charger, and even an alarm clock. Designed to be the only thing you’ll ever need at your bedside table, the Zense can lull you into sleep, wake you up, recharge your phone, calm you down while you’re meditating, or energize you as you exercise.

The Zense adopts a circular shape, with 4 legs that let you place it on any surface. A hemispherical cutout on the top lets you carry the Zense around, as well as provides a docking area for your phone, letting it wirelessly charge while you go about your tasks.

Zense has a one-tap snooze feature that gives you an additional 9 minutes of rest.

The Zense starts as a bedside lamp, waking you up to music and an ambient wash of light, and gradually transforms into a smart speaker and mood lamp to help you get through your day.

Features 9 different modes of ambient lighting to suit any occasion.

Its internal battery means you can carry it to your living room for a quick yoga or workout session, before heading out and going about your day.

Sync the lights with your favorite songs.

Post sunset, the lamp turns into an ambient mood lamp, allowing you to set it to a mellow candlelight-esque vibe, or pump out music and have the lamp’s lights dance around to the beat of your songs. As you power down at the end of the day, the lamp lets you wirelessly charge your phone as well as set an alarm for the next day.

On the inside, the Zense comes equipped with multiple LEDs covered by a translucent diffuser that turns the lights into soft gradients. The base of the Zense even has an LED clock that tells you the time, and right above it is the 15W wireless charging platform for fast-charging your iPhone or even your Android phone. If you’ve got additional gadgets to charge (like your Apple Watch, perhaps), a 5W USB-C output on the side lets you connect another device to the Zense too.

The lamp has its built-in speakers and even supports smart-home integration, so you could tell Alexa or Google to switch to ambient lights or play some mellow tunes. It also comes bundled with an app that lets you get the most out of your Zense, choosing between different presets for your night-light, meditation, yoga, mood-boosting, and even for that weekend house party!

Smart Lighting to Bring Outside In

Despite its bare-bones aesthetic, Delight is actually quite clever! This smart lamp brings elements of nature to indoor spaces by mimicking natural light.

It changes brightness and color according to light emissions collected by an online weather forecast from different locations around the world. Delight works in harmony with the solar cycle, rising and setting in time with the sun, helping to regulate our circadian rhythm.

Unlike artificial lighting that can mess with our sleep system and have severe implications on concentration and tiredness, Delight reconnects us with nature even when we’re indoors to stablize our cortisol levels which controls when we get tired.

A Bowlful of light

There’s something serene and calming about Philips’ Hue Go light. It fits in the palm of your hand, is washed in white, and has this meditative aura about it. It obviously connects to your phone and can be used as a light alarm, or as a mood light, but let’s not get technical. At the end of the day it’s more of a heaven-sent bowl of angel halos!
