Lepro TB2 Smart LED Table Light Review
The Lepro TB2 Smart LED Table Light is an AI-powered, app-controlled smart light designed to add a beautiful accent to your room. Equipped with RGB+IC LEDs, a host of customizable features and voice control, the TB2 offers a unique and visually striking customizable lamp for your office desk or studio setting. Part of Lepro's AI Smart LED Table Lamp collection, the TB2 is a fun addition—or a perfect starting point—for your lighting setup.
Inspired by the treble clef, the TB2 delivers a fresh take on the traditional table lamp. With 152 RGB+IC LEDs built in, users have the freedom to manage and address each light segment individually. This level of control is made possible by individual control chips installed in each LED, which communicate directly with the Lepro app—available for both Apple and Android devices.
As for the light's brightness, while I couldn't find a lumin count on the official website, the lamp is ideal as an accent piece in the room. While I wouldn't read a book beside it and expect a superior lighting experience, the colours from the LEDS are vibrant and beautiful. It serves best as a supplementary lighting element as part of a larger lighting setup.
Assembling the TB2 is a simple affair and comes in two pieces: a base plate that also acts as part of the light strip and the light strip proper. After removing each piece from the box, simply slotting the top piece into the base via a connection port completes the assembly. Once constructed, the TB2 stands 15.7' high with a width of 7.4' at its widest point. The included power adaptor plugs into the base of the unit and provides almost 6' of cable to allow for ideal positioning.
My one small critique of the design is the power port location on the TB2. While I can understand the inherent challenges of port placement on a lamp that is fashioned after a Treble Clef, the port is located on what is essentially the front of the unit. This means that at all times, the power cable is visible while on display. Not a major issue, but it does feel a bit out of place with the rest of the design.
Despite this small critique, I'm impressed with the overall build quality and design of the TB2. It feels sturdy to handle, and the light strip is much more rigid and durable than I initially assumed it would be. Having worked with several smart lights over the years, I expected Lepro to opt for a silicone shroud, which is typically soft. Instead, Lepro has constructed the housing out of aluminum and the shroud out of PVC, resulting in a much more robust and sturdy construction.
Once the unit is assembled, connecting the TB2 to the Lepro app is exceptionally easy. When the light is turned on, it will automatically switch to pairing mode, indicated by a slow blue flash. Upon opening the Lepro app on your device, the TB2 will automatically appear as a device that can be added. The setup process takes less than a minute, and once complete, gives you full control of the light.
With the TB2 set up on your network and paired to your phone, you're greeted with a host of fun, customizable features to explore. The most unique—and one I'm starting to see more often with smart lighting—is the AI Lighting Assistant, which includes two modes. In the first mode, you can describe a scene or emotion, and the AI Lighting Assistant will generate several lighting patterns to choose from based on your description. The second mode allows you to upload or take a selfie, which the AI uses to create suggestion prompts. While both feel a bit basic in their lighting suggestions, the concept is interesting and one that will no doubt evolve further.
The TB2 also comes with a DIY mode that allows you to address clusters of the LEDs along the strip to create custom designs. Simply select the colour and effect you want—six effects in total—and click the clusters you'd like to apply it to. It's a fairly straightforward process and works well.
One small note: while all 152 LEDs are addressable, they are grouped into clusters when using DIY mode. Addressing all 152 LEDs individually would be a nightmare, honestly. It's also worth noting that the TB2 is dimmable, allowing you to set the exact light level you prefer, no matter the setting.
Music sync is also available through the Lepro app. It includes several preset lighting effects, along with the option to sync audio via the TB2's built-in microphone or your phone's internal mic. Both worked well in testing, and when paired with sensitivity and brightness sliders, they provide a decently customizable experience.
Two other features I appreciated during testing were the smart home integration and the wake-up and sleep functionality. The former allows for easy setup within your existing Alexa or Google Home ecosystem. Connecting to Google Home took less than a minute via the Home app. As this is the second Lepro light I've reviewed this year, it was automatically recognized in Google Home once paired with the Lepro app. Full voice and remote control are available with the TB2, making it ideal for the geek in the room who likes to say, 'Hey Google, turn on the Batcave'—hypothetically speaking, of course.
The wake-up and sleep function works exactly as you would expect. At a preset time, the light will power up or down gradually over a preselected amount of time. I've found it ideal for early morning wake-up, as I typically like to be up before the sun anyway. This feature simply allows for a gentle wake-up while the coffee is still brewing.
The Lepro TB2 Smart LED Table Lamp is a solid piece of tech that is priced fairly at $69.99. It offers all of the features and specs I would expect from a Smart Lamp in a unique and beautiful form factor. It's also much more durable than I would have expected. Overall, I'm impressed with Lepro's TB2 Smart LED Table Lamp and would recommend it as an accent piece in your office or studio.
