Evening, AMEPGADGET readers! It’s August 11, 2025, and if your nightstand is still rocking a basic lamp with a wobbly switch, it might be time for an upgrade. Smart bedside lamps are one of those small changes that make a big difference—whether you’re winding down with a book or easing into the day without a blaring alarm.
What Makes a Bedside Lamp “Smart”?
These lamps connect to your Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, letting you control brightness and color from an app or with your voice. Many models also have built-in sunrise alarms, gradually brightening to wake you gently, and sunset modes that dim the light to help you relax before bed.
Key Features to Look For
- Adjustable Color Temperature: Warm light for evenings, cool light for mornings.
- App & Voice Control: Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri for hands-free use.
- Custom Scenes: Set “Reading,” “Sleep,” or “Movie” modes with one tap.
- USB Charging Ports: Keep your phone or watch powered overnight without extra clutter.
Installation: Plug and Play
Most smart bedside lamps are as easy to set up as a regular lamp—just plug them in, connect to your home network via the manufacturer’s app, and you’re ready to go. No wiring, no tools, no stress.
