Ambiance in your home is all about the lighting, particularly during the darker winter months. Why settle for a boring old table lamp when you could have a glowing orb of light that’s also smarter than the average light? The Eve Flare is just that orb. Compatible with the Apple HomeKit system and controllable from an Apple device, the Eve Flare can take your room from meh to magnificent with a tap or simple voice command. Normally priced at $100, right now Black Friday pricing has it down to a record-low price of just $70 on Amazon. But don’t wait to snatch yours up — this deal could be gone faster than you can say “Siri.”
The nearly 10-inch sphere looks attractive with any decor and makes a charming holiday gift. It can emit any color you desire: Choose from preset colors, or mix up your own perfect hue. Plus, you can easily change the brightness, making it perfect for bedrooms, especially a kid’s room. The light comes on with a quick tap using any Apple smart device, such as an iPhone, Apple Watch or iPad. Use the “Siri” command to switch the light on and preprogram times for the light to go on and off. Of course, you can always switch it on and off right on the lamp as well.
