This SwitchBot connected floor lamp is 44% off: we got it and it holds its own for the holidays

As the holidays approach, it’s hard not to think about lighting and a warm atmosphere. The SwitchBot RGBICWW floor lamp, usually sold for €89.99, is €49.99 during this promotional period, or 44% off. A clear drop that comes at the right time for those who want to bring a little color, or softness, to their interior.

Why recommend it? Because it ticks precisely what we expect from mood lighting at the end of the year: rich colors, adjustable light and simple installation. This model offers segmented LED control, which allows you to display multiple colors simultaneously and create more subtle lighting effects than with a traditional RGB lamp. Ideal for giving a festive tone to the living room, accompanying a tree or simply warming up a room when the days are shorter.

Its brightness can rise to 1200 lumens, its temperature varies from 2700K to 6500K, and it can be placed vertically to illuminate an area or horizontally to diffuse more cozy indirect light. It is Matter compatible, making it easy to control from Apple Home, Alexa or Google Home, without complex settings.

Easy to assemble and multiple ways to control the ambiance

On paper the offer looks attractive, but we wanted to know more with a quick hands-on to see if the installation, use and results were there. The floor lamp arrived in a modestly sized package in several pieces. The assembly is very simple and the final result does not show that several tubes have been assembled.

Those who are not familiar with connected objects can rest assured: near the foot, a control module with buttons allows you to control the color and type of lighting.

But it would be a shame not to take advantage of the application’s advantages. Even if Matter compatible with third-party apps, Switchbot offers a very well-designed application for finely controlling the light. Intensity and warmth of white, an infinity of colors and numerous animation effects. You can also ask the floor lamp to tune in to the rhythm of the ambient music.

The result is quite successful with fairly powerful lighting. The ideal is perhaps to combine two floor lamps in the same room or, as here near an Ambilight TV, to place it next to existing devices.

In short: a versatile product, well designed to accompany seasonal decorations without being limited to the holidays, and offered at a much more accessible price during Black Friday. A good opportunity to brighten up your interior without blowing your budget.
