Home CasaVerdeSmart ,,,,,The contamination between electronics and lighting systems is certainly not a new fact and if on the one hand the lamps become intelligent and remotely controllable, on the other hand even the simplest systems such as safety lights or wake-up lights for the little ones do they serve as power supplies and controls borrowed from far more “smart” devices
The lamp of which we report our impressions of use is based like many of the devices such as speakers and smart accessories, of a power supply via USB socket and the power supply is not included in the package, trusting in the presence of a socket USB at home or any external power supply for mobile or tablet: it is basically a portable device with a power of 2W and as such the internal 2200 mAh battery powered with a current of 5V and 1Ampere will go.
The packaging and the lamp
The colored packaging removes the anonymity of the device, making it possible to sell it even in retail stores and positioning it for colors and graphics in the sector of children's devices.
Inside we find the lamp which is divided into three parts: a translucent upper part that acts as a lighting body that can be activated with a double touch on the top or a continuous touch that adjusts the intensity, the lower part with a front touch area and the rubber-coated bottom with a micro-USB charging socket.
The box the specifications the instructions here it is The bottom with switch the protection of the USB socket for charging The details also on the back the base becomes a hook you can also use the supplied musket The manual also in Italian with all the information Neutral light Warm and low light maximum intensity medium intensity low intensity Cold light Neutral Light Warm Light On the bed
The shape in fact it is that of a large egg that has something reassuring for the little ones and makes the product free from dangerous edges and gives it resistance even in the event of a fall. Furthermore, there are no switches on board and the only opening, that of access to the USB socket, is covered by a rubber, the same material with which the base is “cushioned” with an ingenious system that transforms it into a hook for hanging. the lamp upside down.
We must say that the rubber is of excellent quality but that given the ease with which a child of first tooth age could be led to bite it, we would not feel like leaving the lamp within his reach: it will be enough to place it or hang it at a safe distance.
When the child has grown up and no longer has the instinct to bite or swallow small objects the lamp is safe enough for both the user both for protection from external liquids.
How it works
We have reported above the operation which is explained in any case in the attached manual also in Italian (with all the relevant warnings – congratulations to the company) which also shows the plate characteristics (see our photogallery).
With a double touch we are able to turn it on from above or by holding the hand above to decrease the intensity, switching on or off is also obtained by pushing on the central part of the bottom while the adjustment of the color temperature from warm to neutral is obtained putting a finger on the Vava Frontale logo: we go from 2700 to 6500 Kelvin passing from warm to neutral to cold light.
From the photos we are attaching you can get an idea of the lamp's lighting capabilities and the ability to vary both intensity and color temperature: it's not really a reading lamp unless you bring your book under the sheets but it can be used to help children who fear absolute darkness fall asleep or to illuminate a bathroom for a moment of relaxation in the tub. It is IP65 but obviously you have to keep the USB socket well protected with its rubber cover.
Obviously in our test we had the collaboration of a small reviewer who confirmed the ease of use of the lamp and the immediacy of the switch-off and ignition phase. Baby Night Light fell several times from the bed or bedside table but did not report any damage whatsoever, testifying its solidity of construction. The promised 80 hours of autonomy are true especially if you keep the lamp at a low intensity. Also noteworthy is the fact that the intensity is considerably reduced: if you have two children in the room, the second will not be disturbed too much by the safety light.
