Unless you are a student of interior design, office setup or an HGTV fanatic, you might not get too excited about a lamp. For me, they are functional or, at most, stylish. You turn it on, turn it off and think, “Oh, it looks nice.” But you would never call a lamp an experience – until I discovered the Lepro TB1 Smart Table Lamp, an AI-enabled, art-meets-tech ambience creator.

It ships almost flat, reminiscent of a stove burner element, but when assembled, it looks like a planet prop from Stargate, Sliders, or Interstellar, and would fit right on the desk of Star Trek’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

DESIGN AND BUILD

Made from high-grade aluminum alloy, it features a triple-ring design: A fixed 12-in. outer ring with middle and inner rings that rotate independently up to 300 degrees. The rings rest on a 4.3-in. polycarbonate base with a single button for power on/off and reset/pairing.

It boasts nearly 200 LEDs – 88, 62 and 46 per ring – grouped in threes, displaying 16 million colours with seamless fades and bold, true-to-life tones. Brightness can be adjusted to match any space, activity or mood. Despite its striking look, the TB1 weighs only 830 grams and has a small footprint, making it easy to place on nightstands, desks or side tables.

LIGHTING CONTROL – 3 WAYS

What makes this lamp shine is the myriad ways to customize lighting. It’s easy to use via voice with Alexa or Google Assistant, or through the Lepro App – where it truly excels. You can even describe the kind of lighting you want, either by voice or text.

• DIY Mode: Customize colours, brightness, sequences and animations. The app works like a paint program – draw, fill or erase using fingers, adjust brightness or transition speed, and watch your imagination come to life.
• Music Sync: LightBeats reacts to music in real time using the built-in mic or your phone’s playlist. Choose from nine different flash, wave and laser modes, adjusting brightness and speed to match your vibe.
• AI Mode: Lepro’s LightGPM 2.0, trained on colour psychology and lighting design, makes you an instant lighting expert. Describe a mood or activity – “I am playing a cool action game,” or “I feel a little tired” – and the AI suggests a configuration. You can also upload a photo for automated suggestions.

All modes are accessible from the app’s bottom menu. Save Favourites, create shortcuts, set schedules or trigger actions – such as turning off the lamp when music stops.

PRACTICAL EVERYDAY USES

The TB1 isn’t just for colour play – it has practical uses:

• Reading or desk work: Soft, eye-friendly lighting reduces strain.
• Relaxation: AI mode creates calm, warm lighting for unwinding.
• Entertaining guests: Sync lights to music for dinners or game nights.
• Holiday decor: Instantly switch to festive modes for Christmas, Halloween or other celebrations.
• Gifting: Perfect for kids, grandkids, dorms, home offices or rec rooms.

BEYOND THE BASICS

The TB1 remembers your last setting and can automate responses, react to devices and integrate with Alexa or Google Assistant.

Lepro provides a Community Forum for guidance, inspiration and sharing creations. In the “Show and Share” section, you can post designs and explore what others have made – from festive holiday displays to galaxy-inspired themes. Popular AI commands include “Set Christmas lights,” “Create Halloween lights,” or “I feel relaxed, create calm lighting.” For a cosmic twist, try “Show me Mars lighting” or “Show me the Milky Way lights.”

CONNECTIVITY AND FEATURES

The lamp connects via Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) or Bluetooth. Bluetooth offers basic control, but full app features require Wi-Fi.

It would have been nice if the TB1 included a separate remote, a dimmer switch or programmable favourites button and a USB port. However, what it does offer – voice control, AI-assisted lighting, music sync and endless colour options – is still spectacular. With so many features, it takes time to explore them all, and even then, there’s always more to discover.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The Lepro Smart Table Lamp TB1 blends creative design, intelligent customization and immersive lighting. This isn’t just another light – it’s part decor, part tech and part mood-setter.

Whether you want to boost your mood, enhance a gathering, or add flair to your workspace, this lamp delivers. Manually customized, automated or AI-generated – the choice is yours.

The TB1 retails in Canada for $109 and is available at amazon.ca ($89 at time of writing,) or directly from lepro.ca.

If you thought a lamp could never be an experience, the Lepro TB1 Smart Table Lamp might just change your mind – and make an unforgettable gift for someone you love.
