Now talk to your table lamp!
The Pune-headquartered makers of the Syska family of lighting products have a canny ear the ground when it comes to smart LED luminaries. Once a format or concept sees global popularity, they roll out an Indian equivalent, within weeks, usually with more affordable price tags. Their latest launch, the Syska Smart Table Lamp is no exception.
It is a slim and minimalistic design and offers a choice of 3 colour settings — warm white, daylight and cool white. You can switch from reading to night light mode, adjust brightness — all with touch controls, or with a mobile app. The lamp is compatible with Amazon Alexa, so once installed, you can speak your commands to the lamp. It is rated for 30,000 hours of operation and for this reason alone will make a nice, stylish gift, this holiday season — for Rs 3,699.
