Placing a Bluetooth speaker at home may not be your thing. But what if the bluetooth speaker is also a lamp, such as the Vappeby from Ikea?
The Swedish housing giant Ikea is cleverly responding to making your home smart in an accessible way. Ikea combines several products in one new product. People who are interested in, for example, a new lamp can immediately combine this with scoring a Bluetooth speaker. And why not. Because there is no wire attached to it, you can take the thing anywhere in and around the house.
The new Bluetooth Vappeby speaker lamp from Ikea is compatible with Spotify Tap. This technique allows the streaming service to resume a song where it left off elsewhere. Suppose you come home from a long day of work and you listened to music via your smartphone, then the music at home continues to play via the Ikea lamp.
If you happen to spill a drink, it’s nice to know that the Ikea has an IP65 certification. This means that the smart device is resistant to dust and water. Charging the Bluetooth speaker is via USB-C. Nice and modern.
The lamp costs 49.99 euros and can be used both outdoors and indoors. Via the website of Ikea the Bluetooth speaker lamp can be ordered online and then delivered.
