Lamp Angel Review: Dual-Purpose LED Lamp by InPOWERED


Lamp Angel by InPOWERED Review

A powerful backup light and charging station disguised as a chic table lamp.

MacKenzie has been accepted into her dream college for the Fall Semester. My momma’s heartstrings are tugged, and the fact that I will be there with her has my mind reeling.

I think back to when she was little, and the electricity would go out. We’d roast marshmallows in the fireplace and set up “camp” in the living room. As she’s grown older, technology has changed, enabling us to have power packs to charge devices and battery-powered flashlights or the classic candle to provide light.

Now, she’s going off to college, and I worry she will not have her phone charged during an unexpected outage. I worry about how she’s going to have light.

Sure, flashlights work—but what if she doesn’t have spare batteries? My worries are at rest now because she is going to college with Lamp Angel.

Decorative Lighting with a Dual Purpose

It’s a bonus because Lamp Angel isn’t just decorative lighting. It’s also a lamp with built-in USB chargers that will automatically switch on in a power outage, offering 24 hours of light and charging capabilities.

In the event of a power outage in her dorm, she’ll be able to plug her smartphone into the lamp to call home. She can sync her wireless speaker to enjoy music while the calming glow of the lamp comforts her.

Auto light emergency technology is one less thing to worry about. There is a separate power button on the back to enable this feature.

With the LED base automatically turning on when it detects an interruption in electricity, I know she won’t have to be searching for power or light. She can charge her phone and let us know she’s okay.

I love that the Lamp Angel is an ordinary small lamp by all appearances. Here’s a simulation to show how it performs when unplugged.

The lamp is unplugged but still provides light. A smartphone or the included remote can control the lamp and change colors.

It also has a setting to rotate through more than 100 colors automatically. A built-in USB port allows charging mobile devices with ease.

I love this feature. It’s great for emergencies or just keeping the phone charged for daily use or entertainment. This dual-purpose Lamp Angel is made with a shatter-resistant acrylic base for durability.
