With a range of styles, colours, and features available, you are sure to find the perfect smart table lamp to suit your needs and preferences in our range – so let’s take a closer look. 

What are smart table lamps?

Smart table lamps are table lamps that can be controlled through a smartphone app, or using a voice assistant like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. They are a convenient and modern way to control the lighting in your home, allowing you to turn your table lamps on or off, adjust the brightness and colour temperature, and set schedules or timers using your smartphone or voice commands.

Smart table lamps usually have Wi-Fi connectivity (and often Bluetooth as well) and can be connected to a smart home hub or directly to your home’s Wi-Fi network. This allows you to control the lamps using your smartphone or voice assistant, even when you’re away from home, as long as your Wi-Fi network is working correctly.

In addition to offering convenient ways to control your lighting, many smart table lamps have additional features like colour-changing options, built-in speakers, and USB charging ports. Some smart table lamps can also be integrated with other smart home devices, allowing you to create custom scenes or automate your home’s lighting.

How are smart table lamps different to normal table lamps? 

The biggest difference is that smart table lamps offer so many more functions, and so can be more useful. Some of the key benefits of using smart table lamps rather than traditional table lamps include: 

• Enhanced control options: Smart table lamps can be controlled using a smartphone app or a voice assistant, allowing you to turn them on or off, adjust the brightness and colour temperature, and set schedules or timers using your smartphone or voice commands. Normal table lamps, on the other hand, are typically controlled by a physical switch – and there are only a few styles that have dimmable light.
• Connectivity: Smart table lamps are equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity and can be connected to a smart home hub or directly to your home’s Wi-Fi network. This allows you to control the lamps using your smartphone or voice assistant, even when you’re away from home. Normal table lamps are not connected to the internet and cannot be controlled remotely – the closest you can get to this functionality would be to add a timer plug.
• Additional features: Smart table lamps often have additional features like colour-changing options, built-in speakers, and USB charging ports. Normal table lamps generally don’t have these features.
• Energy efficiency: Smart table lamps are designed to be energy-efficient, usually with integrated LEDs which allow you to adjust the brightness and colour temperature to suit your needs. This can help to save you money on your energy bills in the long run, and are better for the environment than traditional incandescent bulbs. Normal table lamps are typically less energy-efficient – although there is always the option to use LED bulbs, of course.

Smart table lamps offer more control options, connectivity, and additional features than normal table lamps. They can also be more energy-efficient and offer greater flexibility in terms of how you use them. While they may be more expensive than normal table lamps, the benefits they offer make them a popular choice among homeowners and interior designers.

Which rooms are smart table lamps best for?

Smart table lamps are a versatile lighting option that can be used in a variety of rooms in your home. Here are some of the rooms where smart table lamps can be particularly useful:

• Living room: Smart table lamps can be used to set the mood for whatever you’re doing in your living room. You can adjust the brightness and colour temperature to suit your mood and activities, and even set schedules or timers to turn the lamps on or off automatically. Movie night? Alexa, set the lamp brightness to low!
• Bedroom: Smart table lamps can be used to create a relaxing and soothing ambiance in your bedroom. You can adjust the brightness and colour temperature to create the perfect atmosphere for reading, watching TV, or winding down before bed. If you’re prone to waking in the night, you can use your voice to turn the light on, without needing to search for the switch in the dark.
• Home office: Smart table lamps can provide task lighting in your home office, allowing you to work comfortably and efficiently. As you move through the day, you can adjust the brightness and colour temperature to reduce eye strain and improve focus – and set a warmer colour temperature in the afternoon and evening, so as not to disturb your sleep patterns.
• Nursery: Smart table lamps can be used in a nursery to create a calm and soothing environment for your baby. You can adjust the brightness and colour temperature to create a gentle light for bedtime or feeding, and because LED bulbs don’t need much power, smart table lamps can be used in place of a nightlight, without raising your electricity bills excessively. 

Smart table lamps can be used in most rooms in the home where changing the ambiance is necessary. They are a convenient and modern way to control your home’s lighting, while also offering additional features and functionality. The only room you definitely shouldn’t use a smart table lamp is the bathroom, due to the high humidity, exposure to water, and potential for accidental damage.

What bulbs are best for smart table lamps?

Most smart table lamps have integrated LED bulbs, which are energy-efficient and long-lasting. These lamps typically do not require any bulbs to be changed, as the LED bulbs are built into the lamp itself. This can be a convenient and cost-effective option, as you won’t need to worry about replacing bulbs over time. They can last for many years without needing to be replaced. LEDs are best where you need dimmable, and colour changing light, so you can adjust the brightness and colour temperature of your smart table lamp to suit your needs and create the perfect ambiance for any occasion.
