7 Smart Lamps That'll Improve Every Aspect Of Your Life

Smart lamps are one of those tech gadgets that make us question why anyone ever says they believe they were born in the wrong century. What's up with that? You wish you were born before lights could *listen* to you? You wish you couldn't control the hue and intensity and thus the entire vibe of your home? Turn a rented apartment into a full-blown smart house? Even for the self-identified old souls, smart lamps are a modern invention than can convince even the greatest skeptics to check out something new.

Smart lamps do more than just turn on and off, some more than others. Generally, they'll use LED lights and connect to an external tool for control. That tool might be an app on your phone or a separate smart device, like an Echo or Google Home. You'll often be able to do that turning on and off with your phone, and turn that light from cool to warm, white to blue, or bright to dim. Some even wake you wake up and have reading light features.

Ahead, we have seven smart lamps that can fit in your space. Some art small, meant for a bedside table or a desk. There are floor and wall lamps, too, that light up an entire room. Your journey to a smart house or apartment begins in earnest, here.
