Touch Control Smart Bedside Lamp

A small cone of frosted plastic on a wood-effect base, 15 cm tall and 9.5 cm across — about the size of a coffee mug with a shade on it. It sits on a bedside table or a desk and glows in whatever colour you set, from a warm white you can read next to down to a dim single colour for the middle of the night.

The whole top surface is the switch. A short press cycles brightness, colour and mode; a long press turns it on and off. That is the entire interface if you never open the app, and it is the reason this one is worth having over a plain night light.

Two plugs

• US plug — flat two-pin adapter
• EU plug — round two-pin adapter

Pick the one that matches your sockets. The lamp itself is identical; only the adapter in the box differs.

It stays plugged in

Both versions of this lamp are the non-rechargeable one — the manufacturer labels them that way itself. There is no battery inside. It is a lamp with a cable, not a portable one you can carry to another room, and we would rather say so before you buy it than after.

Where we have not followed the manufacturer

We are not repeating this listing's safety claims. It says the lamp is "100% safe" for babies, that it is made of "toy grade" plastic, and that its anti-blue-light LED will not hurt a child's eyes. There is no test report, no standard cited and nothing here that could evidence any of it, so we make none of those claims. Treat it as a lamp, not as a medical or child-safety product.

The manufacturer also advertises voice control through the big assistant platforms. That depends entirely on third-party services we do not control and cannot test from here, so we are neither naming them nor promising it works — what we can stand behind is the touch control on the lamp and the app that ships with it. We have also dropped the brand names printed across the manufacturer's photographs, its "249-2000" lumen figure, which is a range wide enough to mean nothing, and its duplicated certification list.
