Unless you’re a student of interior home and office design, I, for one, don’t usually 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 good.” But you would never say that the lamp is a Experience. That was until I stumbled across the Lepro TB1 Smart Table Lamp – an AI-enabled art-meets-tech ambiance creator.
It ships almost flat, reminiscent of an oven burner element, but when assembled it looks like a prop Stargate, slidersor Interstellarand would watch right at home on Star Trek Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s desk.
Design and build
Made of high-quality aluminum alloy, it consists of a triple-ring design: a fixed 12-inch outer ring along with middle and inner rings that can rotate forward and backward independently, up to a maximum of 300 degrees. The rings rest on a 4.3-inch polycarbonate base that holds a single button that doubles as power on/off and reset/pairing.
It offers almost 200 LEDs, with each ring having 88, 62, and 46 LEDs respectively. These are grouped in threes and can display a spectrum of 16 million colors, providing seamless blooms paired with bold, true-to-life tones. Brightness can be adjusted from 1% to 100% to suit any room, activity or mood.
And the colors are spectacular.
Despite its distinctive look, the TB1 weighs only 830 grams and has a very small footprint when fully assembled.
Lighting control – 3 ways
What really makes this smart table lamp shine is the myriad of ways you can not only get unlimited colors, but also customize your lighting experience in ways you never imagined.
It’s easy to use and can be controlled by voice with Alexa or Google Assistant, and also through the Lepro app – where it really shines. You can even talk to the app (or type, if you want), and describe what kind of light you want.
There are three main ways to create effects: DIY, Music Sync, and AI.
If you prefer a hands-on approach, you can use the DIY mode. Adjust colors, brightness, sequences and animations to match any vibe. The app works almost like a paint program, allowing you to draw, fill or erase with your fingers and sliding controls. You can adjust the brightness and even the speed of the transitions. Try moving your finger randomly around the ring palette and see how your imagination comes to life.
For music lovers, LightBeats Music Sync lets the lighting patterns be triggered by the beat of the music. When the app is running, the lamp can “listen” to songs playing from your phone’s playlist or react in real time to sounds in the room thanks to the built-in microphone in the lamp base. In the app, you can choose from nine different flash, wave and laser modes, then fine-tune them by adjusting brightness and speed. So, whether you’re in party mode or winding down the evening, the possibilities are endless.
And then there is AI.
AI-powered effects
For the geeks in the room, Lepro has its own LightGPM 2.0 – a large language model trained on color psychology and lighting design knowledge. It makes you an instant lighting expert without the need for technical know-how or a steep learning curve.
Instead of just saying, “Table Lamp on” You can describe a mood or activity: “I play a really cool action game,” or “I feel a little tired.” Even better, you can trigger effects using your keyboard, voice prompts, or even upload a photo and let the AI use facial expression recognition to suggest a lighting configuration.
Each of these three modes can be accessed from the bottom menu of the app, and you can save configurations as favorites for easy access later. You can also create rules for shortcuts, set schedules to automate your lighting or trigger actions when something else happens – for example, turning off the lamp automatically when the music stops.
It’s crazy.
Beyond the basics
The TB1 doesn’t stop at the color game. You can set schedules, automate to respond to other devices or use Alexa and Google Assistant for simple voice commands. It remembers your last setting so you don’t have to start fresh every time.
In the Lepro community forum, there’s even a “Show and Share” section where you can post your own lighting creations and explore what others have designed, from festive celebrations to galaxy-inspired themes.
Connectivity and features
The lamp connects via Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) or Bluetooth. You don’t get full functions with Bluetooth alone, and you can’t control them outside the Bluetooth range, but it’s practical as a backup satellite connection.
Room for improvement
As impressive as it is, the TB1 isn’t perfect. The onboard button only provides basic power and reset/pair functions. A physical remote would be nice, or at least some more controls on the lamp itself, like a dimmer or a programmable favorites button. A USB charging port would also be a welcome addition.
With so many options, it took some time to figure some of them out. In fact, there are so many, I doubt I will experience them all.
Final thoughts
The Lepro Smart Table Lamp is cool because it mixes creative design, smart customization and immersive lighting in a compact package.
This is not just another light. The TB1 can provide endless entertainment – it’s a clever little gadget that’s part decor, part tech, and part mood seats, bringing together smart controls and lighting that really draw you in. Whether you want to boost your mood, create a party vibe or simply add some flair to your workspace, this lamp delivers. Its stable, small base makes it ideal for tabletops, nightstands, home offices or rec rooms. It creates a three-dimensional, eye-catching experience without being complicated, giving you the perfect blend of “wow” factor and everyday practicality.
It’s also a great option for dorm rooms, back-to-school setups, or as a unique gift.
Manually customized, automated or AI-generated – the choice is yours.
On the wellness side, the lamp automatically adapts to reading, relaxing or closing without you fiddling with settings. Its soft, eye-friendly lighting helps reduce strain when working or reading in the evening.
Lepro also provides a community forum for guidance and inspiration. A list of popular AI commands will help you get the most out of your lamp, with examples like “Put up Christmas lights”, “Create Halloween Lights,” or “I feel relaxed, creates calm lighting.” For a cosmic twist, you can even ask for it “Show Me Mars Illumination” or “Show me the Milky Way lights.”
Also within the app, there’s even a “Show and Share” section where you can post your own lighting creations and explore what others have designed, from festive celebrations to galaxy-inspired themes.
If you’re interested in a different style, Lepro also offers the TB2, a treble clef-shaped (non-rotating) model with 152 LEDs.
