Colorpanda Smart Table Lamp, Dimmable RGB APP Control Bedroom Lamp Compatible with Alexa & Google Assistant, Touch Bedside Lamp for Living Room and Bathroom

I was hoping for something that would simulate like the morning sun awake up, but I found out it isnt really designed for that. The color selections are nice and they really can make a room mood cozy. It just didnt seem like it fulfilled all their claims.

I used to have a small blue-illuminated orb while I lived in London. I loved it, but could not use it in the US due to voltage and bulb reasons. I always missed that orb, even though it only glowed blue. I was instantly intrigued when I saw this item. Variable brightness. Huge range of colors. Separate color zones for the top and bottom halves. Programmable through an app. WOW! What more could I want? When I unpacked the box, I was first taken by the manufactured quality of this orb. It was much better-made than my blue London orb. It really is an object of beauty, even before it is plugged in. The problems began when I downloaded the Colorpanda app. The app, and the printed instructions for the orb, are some of the worst I have seen. The printed manual is laughable. It basically tells you to download the app, which I did. This brought me into the world of a very badly-designed app. Many of the screens are unreadable. Picture dark grey type against a black background with type so small I could not read it. Other screens had light grey type against a white screen, again too small to read. Sections of the app are advertisements for the sellers other lighting products. What I could read indicated complex steps for programming the various lighting abilities the orb is capable of. All I wanted at the start was to turn on the light and create a steady blue glow. In reality, if you simply plug in the light into a USB outlet, the orb will glow and sort of pulsate in a yellow-orange range. I found no way to change anything about this lighting scheme. I could not get the lamp to connect to the app, largely because I could not find legible directions for how to do this. Other reviewers have described similar circumstances, but one or two mentioned abandoning the Colorpanda app and trying again with the Smart Life app. Bingo! Success! The Smart Life app works quite well and can be used to accomplish anything that would have been possible with the Colorpanda app. You need to pair the orb with the app. I recommend starting with the app, and then plugging in the orb. Smart Life will guide you to pair the app and the orb. Then, your fun will begin. The orb itself seems to be very well made. The light sources within it cannot be replaced by the user, so we are instructed that when the lights no longer work, we need to replace the entire unit. I was able to quickly set a steady blue glow similar to the one I missed from London. But this orb can do much more. There are two lighting zones, one for the top half and one for the bottom half. You can set them to the same color, or multiple colors. You can create color transitions that change over time. You can set timers for turning the orb on or off on a schedule of your choice. The quality of light coming from this white ball is very rich and beautiful. If you give this as a gift, you need also to provide detailed instructions for setting up the ball. If you give it to someone who is not tech-savvy, you may need to help that person get it working. I am fairly tech-savvy, but I almost gave up on getting this working. The seller needs to provide a much better written instruction manual, and the manufacturer needs to make the app MUCH MORE user-friendly. Now that I have it working, I am very pleased with the product and delighted to have it.

Colorpanda Smart Table Lamp This is a really lovely little lamp and I like it a lot. Its perfectly round with its own little built in legs to stand on, so we call it The Orb. It connects quickly and easily to the SmartLife app (which is good! I dont have to download a whole other proprietary app to pair the lamp!) and from there connects seamlessly to the home Alexa network. You can set custom colors, brightness, and speeds to change from one color to another. Prefer a static, non-changing light? Thats fine, just set the change speed to zero. We love our little orb and anticipate using it quite a lot. NOTE: This review is based on a free advance review product provided through Amazon Vine. ~ Ana Mardoll

I do love this moon lamp thingy. It’s always on the sunset colors because the app and adding this as a device to the app isn’t as easy as they claim. I ordered this via Vine in exchange for an honest review and I will say it’s absolutely gorgeous set at the sunset colors, however after reading what this was capable of doing for me I think it just fell short of most of those claims. I sure do wish I was wrong and if I can rectify this, I will absolutely update my review. This isn’t for kids and it isn’t cut and dry- easy peasy. It’s more for the tech-savvy person who has everything hooked up to their Alexa.

This Color Panda Smart table lamp is definitely worth it. The soothing lights it produces helps me relax after work. I put this on my living room so everyone can enjoy it. The build and material is of high quality. I highly recommend!

It took me several tries and a lot of wasted time to get this lamp to connect to the app. The instructions were laughably insufficient, and I would never give this as a gift to anyone who wasnt already familiar with these kinds of things. I *really* do not love having an additional 200MB of potentially questionable software on my phone just to run a lamp. I have been trying to get it to connect to the Smart Home app that I already have for my other wifi light switches, but havent been able to get it to work. That would be a decent workaround if it were possible. That being said, the app allows for surprisingly advanced programming of different color changing scenarios, and its fun to play with! I havent come close to exploring all the possibilities yet. The lamp is made of a matte frosted plastic. Sometimes the light shining through shows cloudy swirls in the frosted material, which is a little distracting but not too bad. Otherwise it is beautifully minimal, sturdy, and well made. Its about the size of a very large grapefruit/ pomelo. Its a fun, pretty toy, but the connectivity issues make it not so ideal for gifting. Update: The more I use this the more it works its way into my heart!! I love it. The seamless, smooth transition between all the colors of the rainbow is so soothing and lovely. I have it next to my computer while I work and the light doesnt bother my eyes at all. The app really does provide so many options for customized color transitions that would never be possible with a remote. I really should experiment with it more. But to be honest, a lot of the time Im lazy and just use the button on the base to turn it on and off, and avoid using the app. Im really pleased thats an option, too!

Looks great in my set up

The light is nice enough but the app is a nightmare. It can still be used by touching the little button on the base but that isn’t practical since the place I want to put the lamp isn’t easily reached. You need the app to have a remote and I have given myself a headache trying to get it to pair with the lamp. I will try again later and reassess if I get it to work.

Looking for a soft glow colorful lamp? We use this lamp in our bedroom to provide a nice soft lightning in the evening. I particularly enjoy the ability to change the colors of the lamp with my phone or a voice assistant command. Additionally, the lamp has a high quality feel and look to it. Recommended Pros: - Colors: The colors produced by the lamp are exceptional. The color diffuses beautifully across the globe. - Control: The lamp can be controlled by Alexa if desired. - On/Off: There is even a physical on/off switch if you want to control the lamp manually. FYI: - Brightness: This is not a reading lamp. It doesnt provide enough light to read a book.

Theres nothing about this little lamp I dont like. It plugs in via USB and is everything as advertised. Rest assured in an accurate item description here and all the reviews are spot on. Awesome product, high quality and absolutely beautiful!
