From PC Mag: Google created an smart lamp with integrated Google Assistant, but it's not for consumers and is unlikely to ever become a smart home product.
Google designer Ben Gold last week tweeted about the "dLight," a simple white lamp with circular base, slim poll, and pill-shaped swivel beacon on top.
"Working at a giant tech company is weird and cool," Gold wrote. "I just got a lamp that was designed and engineered in house, not available to anyone besides employees. It's a whole ass product that will likely never be on sale to the public." In a follow-up tweet, he confirmed the lamp's title (a play on "the light," or perhaps even "delight").
dLight is designed to enhance work-from-home setups and provide "optimum lighting for video calls," 9to5Google reported. Though controllable via Google Assistant voice commands, it does not appear to have an embedded microphone; a USB-C port allows for easy device charging, and over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates suggest more features to come.
