Santala Desk Lamp

No desk setup is complete without a solid lamp.  You’ll also undoubtedly need to charge your phone.  So why not combine the two.  The Santala Desk Lamp not only brings you a color-temperature and brightness adjustable light source controllable via HomeKit, but it also boasts a built-in Qi charger.  No Qi-compatible device?  Nor worries!  This desk lamp also has a USB port to charge your devices. I love a good multi-tasker and the Santala Desk Lamp is one of the best HomeKit lamps

Mi Bedside Lamp 2

If you’re looking to add a bit of color to a room, you may want to consider the Mi Bedside Lamp 2.  This WiFi connected smart lamp features 16 million colors, a 400-lumen maximum and minimum 2 lumen output, and touch controls for cycling through colors, temperature, and brightness.  If that weren’t enough, this HomeKit-compatible lamp brings a number of different lighting effects which can be made to work in HomeKit via Shortcuts and either the Yeelight or Mi Home apps. With all this, the Mi Bedside Lamp 2 can definitely provide some practical lighting as well as some gentle color to set the mood.

Eve Flare

Need to take your lamp on the go?  Then the Eve Flare might be exactly what you’re looking for.  Transport this glowing sphere for up to 6 hours of illumination and in a variety of weather conditions with its IP65 dust and liquid protection rating.  With its Bluetooth connectivity, you can literally take this mood light anywhere and still have access to its 16 million colors and lighting effects through the Eve app.  Eve has a strong reputation for its HomeKit reliability and the Eve Flare continues this high standard.

Yeelight Table Lamp Pro

Heading back to the office or bedroom, the Yeelight Table Lamp Pro is a great option if you’re into a sleek, minimal design, but with not-so-minimal features.  Similar to the Santala offering, this one features a Qi wireless charger and dimmable color temperatures ranging from 2,700 to 6,500 Kelvin.  Like the Bedside Lamp, it has the ability to be “super dimmed” and boasts similar lighting effects from the Yeelight app that can be integrated into HomeKit by making use of Shortcuts.  With all of these features, the Yeelight Table Lamp Pro would be a welcomed addition to any HomeKit fan’s setup

iHaper Desk Lamp

Last, but most certainly not least, iHaper’s Desk Lamp brings something that no other HomeKit lamp does, a detachable flashlight.  This futuristically-designed tubular lamp allows you to power it up and down  as well as dim and brighten it with its touch controls OR by using its motion sensor.  That’s right this lamp has a motion sensor AND it’s exposed to HomeKit.  Did we mention that you can break off section of it and use it as a light saber?  While not the brightest flashlight in the world, it will work in a pinch once the lights go out.  If you’ve got an internet in the more unique side of HomeKit lamps, the iHaper Desk Lamp will definitely win some points with you.
