I’ve been using the Hifree Smart Table Lamp for a month now, and it’s become my go-to for everything from late-night reading to setting the mood. The voice control via Alexa is *chef’s kiss*—I love lazily saying "Alexa, turn the lamp to warm white at 30%" without fumbling for my phone. It actually listens better than my cat.

The RGB colors are vibrant but not overwhelming. I use the "reading" mode (cool white) during work hours and switch to a slow-cycling purple-pink gradient for winding down. The touch controls are satisfyingly responsive—no angry tapping like with my old lamp. Pro tip: The sleep timer is a game-changer; I set it to fade out over 20 minutes while I doze off.

That said, the app feels like it was designed by someone who’s never used a lamp before. Setting schedules requires patience (and maybe a sacrifice to the WiFi gods). Once, it randomly disconnected mid-romantic dinner, leaving us eating pasta in the dark—now I keep backup candles. Still, at this price point, I’ll forgive its quirks.

For parents: The night-light mode is *gold*. At 5% brightness, it’s just enough to navigate nursery chaos without waking anyone. My only gripe? The sleep mode’s orange glow makes my bedroom look like a fast-food drive-thru. I wish it leaned warmer like candlelight.

Verdict: If you want customizable ambiance without smart-home headaches 90% of the time, this little lamp punches above its weight. Just don’t throw away your old-school switches yet.
