Place The Light Where You Need It
An award winning design pendant lamp that allows you to move the light in any direction using simple paint gestures on your phone!
Instead of dimming the light in your room, you can adjust the direction of your light to place it where you need it. This allows to create any light setting with just one pendant lamp!
Indirect Light To Create The Perfect Mood
Direct light can sometimes be too bright or create unpleasant glare. Indirect lighting via the ceiling can create a very pleasant light ambience. However, currently available solutions can be very expensive and difficult to install. Our lamp is the first where you can easily upgrade any room to get indirect light with just one lamp! You can even choose multiple colors for the indirect light, to create the perfect mood for any situation and you don’t need additional colored mood lights anymore.
"Paint Your Light" For Intuitive Adjustment
The adjustment of the light is very easy with the free companion app. Just pick a color and paint the light in the desired direction. The more you paint, the brighter it gets, while the other parts of your room will stay dimmed. To give you a real-time feedback, the lamp will light-up immediately while you paint.
We use so-called “light scenes” to store your favorite light settings. You can store any setting as a light scene and come back to it with just one swipe in the app. The app also allows you to control several of our lamps and switch between them easily.
PRODUCT DESIGN
We believe that smart lighting products must be visually appealing and built with high quality materials. This is why we put a lot of effort into the design. The heat sink is made from anodized Aluminium and the powerful LEDs are covered behind a durable anti-glare diffuser. The lamp is designed and manufactured in Europe. The design already won the Silver Award at the 2015 London Design Award.
FACTS
The lamp uses LED technology and has up to 2800 lumen output when fully illuminated. This is about as much light as a 200W incandescent bulb provides.
We use high-quality white LEDs that provide adjustable warm to cool light with one of the highest color-rendering index (CRI) on the market. In addition, it’s uplight has red, green, and blue LEDs to provide a full color mood light to the ceiling. The LEDs have a lifetime of up to 60.000 hours at full power, so that it will easily last over 10 years.
Installing the lamp is easy. It comes with a specially designed ceiling mount to fit it to any kind of flat ceiling surface. It has an universal power supply, so that it can be directly connected to any outlet on the ceiling.
Smart Home Functionality
Smart Learning
The lamp learns from your behavior by analyzing which light scenes you use during the course of a day. This helps it to predict the most likely light scene whenever it is turned on (automatically or using the light switch). For example, when you are going to the bathroom during the night, it will turn on the appropriate “dimmed” light scene to illuminate your way without blinding, or, when you watch TV most days at 8pm, it turns on your favorite TV light scene when you enter the room. If you are not satisfied with the lamp's suggested light scene, you simply swipe to the desired scene, which will improve the next prediction. You can, of course, turn this feature off, if you would like to use it in places where it is not desired.
Presence Detection
The lamp uses presence detection sensors to turn itself on when you enter the room in the dark. Whenever you leave the room, it turns itself off to save energy and protect the environment.
Click Detection
When you don’t have your phone with you but want to change to another light scene, you can do so by simply turning the light switch off and on again. The lamp recognizes this “click” and switches to the next light scene.
System Integration
The lamp is truly smart by itself and does not require additional devices such as hubs or switches. Nevertheless, we want it to be able to communicate with other smart home products and are therefore working on integrating it into 3rd party smart home systems. Our initial set of systems that the lamp will be able to communicate with “out of the box” is: Homey, Guh.IO and openHAB. Several others are already planned and will be announced in the upcoming months.
Whats's Next
This is all just the beginning! We have carefully engineered the lamp to include all relevant sensors and a future-proof Bluetooth wireless module, so that we can add new features through our regular software updates. We have many great ideas on our road-map and are eager to bring them in your hands as soon as possible!
What Makes The Lamp Unique?
Our lamp is much more than just another smart lamp. We have put thousands of hours of engineering into the development to make it the ultimate smart lamp. Specially designed electronics control over 300 white and colored LEDs individually and several sensors interact with the environment. Our patent-pending optics realize the directional lighting effect without any moving parts in the lamp. The carefully crafted heat sink is integral part of the overall product design, keeping the LEDs cool and ensuring a long lifetime.
Some Of Our Prototypes
We have spent the past year designing, prototyping, coding, testing and iterating to develop our lamp. With each iteration we were able to improve the design as well as the technology.
Incandescent ? Smart Bulb ? Smart Lamp
Due to the ban on incandescents, most light bulb manufacturers started developing smart LED bulbs. At Luke Roberts, we think that these bulbs are only a transitional technology that will vanish soon and that LED lamps, such as ours, are the future of smart lighting.
Smart Bulbs:
- Smart bulbs require additional fixtures for each bulb
- Light output of a single smart bulb is rather low
- One smart bulb can only produce one color and brightness at a time
- Smartness and advanced features require a hub and Internet connection
Smart Lamp:
- Full LED fixture - not just a bulb
- About as bright as 4 smart bulbs to illuminate even larger rooms
- Independently controllable up- and downlight gives you unprecedented flexibility
- Allows you to place the light in different directions
- Heat sink is big enough to keep LEDs cool and ensure long lifetime
- Smartness is in the lamp, it does not require a hub nor internet connection

FAQ
What is the cable length?
We offer the lamp with cable lengths between 1 and 4 meters (3.3 to 13.2 ft). The preferred cable length will be collected after the end of the campaign in the fulfillment survey. Furthermore, the ceiling mount will allow to wind-up and hide up to 1m (3.3 ft) of cable. So if you select, e.g. a 2 m cable, you can adjust the height between 1 and 2 meter from the ceiling. The minimal recommended distance from the ceiling is 20 cm (0.7 ft).
