Google makes a variety of products \u2014 many good, some bad. I\u2019m generally a fan of the company\u2019s smart home devices, despite some issues. Well, apparently Google also has a smart lamp, called \u2018dLight,\u2019 that you can\u2019t buy unless you work for the company.<\/p>\n

And it looks great.<\/p>\n

Ben Gold, a designer at Google, tweeted about the dLight<\/a> and shared a picture of it. Gold also confirmed the dLight would \u201clikely never be for sale outside of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Google lamp is called the \u201cdLight\u201d and I confirmed that it\u2019s not confidential. Again, this product will likely never be for sale outside of the company. pic.twitter.com\/fMmDXdr6Yk<\/a><\/p>\n

Android Police <\/em><\/a>added more detail, reporting that the lamp supports Wi-Fi connectivity and has an Assistant logo, suggesting it could be controlled via Google\u2019s Home app and through Assistant. The lamp doesn\u2019t have RGB lighting, but Gold noted<\/a> it offers variable colour temperature and various presets.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the light can pivot \u201cquite a bit\u201d and can either shine down to illuminate your desk or shine towards you to light up your face. That makes the dLight a great option for video calls, which is part of the appeal (at least for me). I could use a much better desk lamp situation to help illuminate my face for meetings.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the light costs between $170 and $180 USD<\/a> (about $216 to $228). While that\u2019s a bit more than I\u2019d like to pay for a desk lamp, it doesn\u2019t much matter since I won\u2019t be able to buy it anyway.<\/p>\n
