An ambient-music-playing ambient light

Now this is a purely personal opinion so don’t @ me, but when I think of a good smart-light or a good smart-speaker, I’m thinking of a product that’s ingenious and creative, not internet-connected. I personally think Alexa-enabled speakers are great, but they’re not something I’d own. I don’t need myself a speaker or a camera in my house that spies on every single thing I do or say in the interest of ‘internet connectivity’ and convenience. I’m saying, if I want to play a song, I’ll play a song. If I want to switch my lights on, I’ll use a switch, not run my voice commands through an off-shore server.

So what’s my definition of a smart-speaker then, you ask? Oh, just a speaker that’s more useful than most, but doesn’t keep detailed logs of all my conversations. Or a smart-light is a light that does much more than light up, but also doesn’t spy on me. The Dal light is that kind of smart. It’s smart to look at, it’s a great light, and it’s also a speaker. Designed in a way to give you the best of both worlds (I mean best because it’s a dapper ring-light and a pretty high-end audio playback device).

Shaped like a large 15.7-inch wide ring, the Dal casts a beautiful ambient halo in the room. Designed in a way that can be suspended or even used as a floor lamp, the Dal’s dimmable ring light adds flair to spaces. Its design is almost minimal-chandelier like, so it doesn’t need to be diffused or hidden behind a lampshade. The light physically looks great in most spaces. The ring-light also works great because it provides space for a high-end speaker to sit right in its center. This 2.3-inch wide cylindrical column packs a 10W speaker with a passive radiator and also a ‘sound shower’ that basks the space in light waves and sound waves alike. The Dal comes with a remote that controls the light as well as the speaker’s Bluetooth connection. The halo-light comes with a dimmable setting and can even be temperature controlled to go from warm to cool white lighting. The centrally-located speaker connects to your playback device via Bluetooth, working as a high-end wireless speaker that plays music from your phone, iPad, or any other Bluetooth-enabled playback device.

Designed to be placed anywhere in your house, the Dal can be placed either in a vertical floor-lamp setup, or be suspended from the ceiling. An ideal light for spaces that usually see a lot of activity or time spent, the Dal can be used in the kitchen, bedroom, or even in the living-room area, giving you not just a light, but also a speaker too. With a remote control and a Bluetooth audio playback connection, the Dal isn’t what the techies in Silicon Valley may term as ‘Smart’, but it looks great, is made to sound incredible, and transforms empty, silent rooms into well-lit, musical spaces.
