Lampp is described by its creators at Jordi Canudas Studios as a "smart lamp." It is part phone application, part phone accessory. The accessory is a globular, translucent silicone that sits over the phone when it is lying flat. The idea is that the phone will serve as a light source and the plastic globe will diffuse the light to create a mood. The application controls the color of the light being projected. There are preset moods such as Romantic, which is warm tones, and Night, which focuses on cool tones.
The "smart lamp" does indeed create a soothing glow, but it is essentially makes a night light of mobile devices. There are mood night lights on the market already that can be adjusted and turned off or on but remote control. There is a slight inconvenience in having to lift the silicone shade each time the user wants to change the setting. This may not be a huge deal to some, as more than likely once the mood is set it is set for the night. The bigger inconvenience is when a person wants to use his or her phone. The moment a phone call comes in the lamp ceases to be a lamp. The other main disadvantage is keeping it on eats at the phone's battery life. Unless a person is specifically looking for a night/mood light that travels easy, a traditional lamp might be a better option.
