The lighting of a room can really affect its vibe. That’s why Philips created this wellness lamp, which can help create a calm work environment where you can focus and be productive. The lamp comes with a Hue White Ambiance bulb that can produce 50,000 different shades of white, and the brushed aluminum looks modern and calming anywhere from your bedroom to your office. Whether you’re trying to enjoy some much-needed rest and relaxation, a meditation session, or some focused studying, this lamp has preset settings for every occasion, mood, and need. Want to create a more fun vibe? Simply swap out the bulb for a color Hue bulb, and you can program the lamp to produce thousands of different colors.

WiZ Smart LED Hero Table Lamp

This smart lamp by WiZ has such a modern design that it will look equally at home on your end table, TV stand, or office desk. The 7-inch-tall design featuring a wood base is an ideal size for most rooms. But what makes this lamp super cool is its ability to change colors during certain events. For example, you can program the lamp to automatically shine blue when it starts to rain outside. You can also set it to yellow when bedtime is approaching, by creating a light schedule using the app. The app can also be used to turn the lamp on and off, which means if you’re getting ready for bed and realize you forgot to turn off the lamp, you won’t even have to leave your bedroom. The lamp does not need a hub or bridge, although you are free to sync it up to your Amazon Echo or Google Home device if you wish to. Going on vacation? Utilize vacation mode, which will turn the lamp on if you want to give the impression that someone’s home while you’re away.

Amazon Echo Glow

Compatible with any Echo device, this little globe of fun introduces some highly interactive and useful features that your kids are sure to dig. A built-in Rainbow Timer takes normal “set a timer for…” commands and transforms them into a multicolor light show. As the timer counts down, the Glow changes color, a visual reminder for the kids to finish up playing or to get ready for school. The lamp can replicate a flickering campfire, pulsate like a siren bulb, and even disco it up when you tell Alexa to “start a dance party.”
