Field notes
The lamp pairs a pressed-glass block with a matte-black base and touch control. Its page describes an ESP32 and fifteen LEDs in the assembled board, with colour sent over the owners’ Wi-Fi and a periodic check-in intended to prevent drift. Buyers can choose a $109 Single, $189 Pair, $89 self-assembly Kit, or $59 Board-only option; the latter is aimed at people sourcing their own 190 × 190 × 80 mm glass block.
