LumiCharge II is the brighter way to charge your phone

Space is usually at a premium on any desk or nightstand. LumiCharge II helps you reclaim some real estate by combining a smart LED desk lamp with a wireless charger in one device.

• What is the best color temperature for reading? In general, bright white light offers the best contrast. However, you might want warmer colors at night to keep your brain relaxed.
• Which is better: LED, incandescent, or halogen? Probably LEDs. They are more efficient and longer lasting. In addition, they release no radiation and they come in many colors.
• What is the best LED desk lamp? With multiple settings to choose from and a wireless charging base, LumiCharge II is an excellent option.

Think about cutting-edge tech, and your mind probably sets off in the direction of folding smartphones and self-driving cars. But the humble lamp is a device that is also ripe for innovation. Older lamps waste energy, and there is no way to change the intensity or color of the light. What’s more, many have a pretty large footprint.

LumiCharge II has been designed to overcome these challenges, and add a little extra. This stylish LED lamp lets you choose from various lighting settings, and charge your devices wirelessly on the base. It even has a time and date display, and a USB port for older devices.

What is a smart desk lamp?

On most desk lamps, you will only find a single switch. Your options are on or off. In contrast, a smart desk lamp gives you a variety of settings and features to play with.

LumiCharge II is more than a basic lamp

LumiCharge II provides more features than most. This svelte smart lamp utilizes an array of energy-efficient low-heat LED bulbs on an adjustable arm. You can switch on the lamp with a touch, and adjust the brightness with a couple of taps. You also have three color temperatures to choose from: bright white, soft yellow and soft white.

Choose your hue with LumiCharge II

In the stem, there is a vertical display that shows the current day, date and time. In addition, LumiCharge II keeps track of the ambient temperature.

Wireless charger

Charge your smartphone with LumiCharge II

But it’s the base of LumiCharge II where the truly exciting stuff happens. The top surface is a Qi wireless charging stand, suitable for any smartphone-sized device.

It’s not only smartphones that LumiCharge II can charge

The lamp also comes with a smart watch attachment — ideal for Apple Watch and Samsung Gear owners. For other devices, you can use the built-in USB-C charging port.

Although the lamp is tall, the base has a fairly small footprint. This makes it perfect for any desk or your nightstand.

“Perfect for students, families, and offices, this dynamic LED desk lamp includes a USB charging station for multiple devices. A universal cell phone stand provides energy to your iPhone or Android device, while an extra USB port caters to those with multiple devices.” — LumiCharge

The bright spots

LumiCharge II is a great space saver

LumiCharge II works beautifully as both a smart LED lamp and a charging station. The fact that these features are combined in one sleek device is a major bonus.

Future designs

Initially, the second-gen LumiCharge will be available in two colors: white and black. While both look good, we would like to see some other styles in future — dark gray or polished aluminum, perhaps?
