With its ultra-minimal half-sphere shape, the Hue Go is an understated but stylish addition to any room. It’s also powered by a rechargeable battery so you can move it wherever you want — even outside. Choose exactly the right shade of colored light (there are over 16 million options available), or simply set it to your preferred temperature of white light. You can control it using the Philips Hue app or the buttons on the device, but if you want to access smart features like voice control and smart home integration, it has to be connected to a Philips Hue Smart Hub. This is a great option for a bedside lamp with a little extra ambiance, or for a kid’s room or nursery. If you want a color-changing lamp to integrate into your smart home system — or if you just want a lamp that you can control from your phone — the Hugoai lets you enjoy those features without going all-in on an expensive smart lighting setup. It’s available in both black and white. Like other Philips Hue smart lighting products, the Bloom lamp allows you to choose from millions of different colors. You can also set it to white light and use this lamp as a spotlight for artwork or architectural features. The one downside is the look of the actual device. Its pedestal design and white plastic body seems out of place displayed on a table somewhere, which is why we recommend tucking it into your entertainment center to get the full light effect without making it a focal point. This lamp is cordless and rechargeable, so there are no dangling wires. Plus, its LED lights are cool to the touch, provide ambient 360-degree light, and the adjustable brightness can be dimmed down to a nightlight. Kids will also love the color-changing capabilities and choosing which shade they want in their room. The GE Lighting C lamp has many of the same features as the other smart lamps on this list, including custom color settings, timers, smart home integration, and even a wake-up light setting. The main difference is that you can use this lamp as a virtual assistant to voice-control it or ask it questions. The ring design is eye catching but quite large, so it may be harder to use it as a desk or bedside lamp depending on your space restrictions. Dyson also claims to prioritize eye comfort in the lamp’s design, as it was created with built-in glare protection, low flicker, and a special “Bubble Optic” lens that delivers extremely uniform light. The bulb also mimics sunlight as closely as possible. There is a touch-sensitive sliding dimmer on the lamp stand and the arm can be easily adjusted any way you need it. But above all, this lamp looks like an amazing piece of engineering and is bound to become a focal point of any room you put it in.
