Lepro’s TB1 AI Smart Table Lamp aims to blend striking design, mood-enhancing lighting, and hands-free control into a single desk accessory. Featuring 196 addressable RGB+IC LEDs across three adjustable rings, AI-powered LightGPM lighting scenes, and LightBeats music syncing, it works with Alexa and Google Assistant. Alongside app integration, photo-based cues and voice interaction elevate it beyond typical smart lamps. PixelReel takes an in-depth look at its design, the lighting experience, smart features, and value for content creators, gamers, and tech-savvy users.
Sculptural Design with High-Quality Lighting
The TB1 stands out immediately with its eye-catching triple-ring structure—resembling a gyroscope—and weighs around 830g. Constructed from adjustable metal rings on a stable aluminium base, it offers a sculptural focal point for any desk. With 88 LEDs on the outer ring, 62 on the middle, and 46 on the inner, it creates vibrant, smooth gradients and vivid colour zones. It deserves praise as both art and functional lighting, seamlessly blending into creative spaces and gaming setups.
AI and Sound-Driven Light Modes
LightGPM AI allows users to issue mood prompts like “relaxed,” “party,” or drop in an image—such as game artwork or posters—to generate corresponding light scenes. While early novelty wears off, the customisation potential remains strong. LightBeats sync responds to music using a built-in microphone or via phone audio, producing rhythmic lighting effects that reviewers describe as hypnotic and immersive.
Smart App and Voice Control
Connecting over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, the Lepro app provides full access to features ranging from brightness, temperature, and custom lighting patterns, to scene scheduling and preset recall. Voice control works via Alexa or Google Assistant, while the built-in AI assistant in-app enables mood-based commands directly—no centralised hub is required. App reliability is strong, although it lacks compatibility with HomeKit, Matter, or Home Assistant.
Use During Gaming and Content Creation
On desks, the TB1 enhances ambiance without glare affecting peripherals like monitors or keyboards. For streamers, adjustable colour and brightness help reduce eye strain while adding visual flair. Gamers will find that LightBeats action-sync enhances immersion, and mood presets set engaging tones for live sessions or editing workflows. Its sculptural form also doubles as a visual accent during livestreams, on social media, or in UGC content.
Real-World Performance and Limitations
With 5.9ft of included cable and a stable heavy base, the lamp stays put but allows easy repositioning. It delivers immersive colour and excellent brightness for accent lighting or creative video backgrounds. A small physical button powers it on/off, but all other settings require the app or voice control. AI custom scenes may need fine-tuning, and the lighting effect loses novelty after a few uses. App-only dependencies and limited smart-home support are minor drawbacks for hands-free automation fans.
Pricing and Competition
The TB1 retails around £80 (~$90) and competes with other RGB smart lamps, such as Philips Hue Play or Nanoleaf Shapes. Its sculptural design, addressable LEDs, and smart features offer distinctive value compared to simpler desk lamps or RGB bulbs. While budget RGB lights cost less, they lack TB1’s combination of quality design, dynamic lighting, and AI interaction.
