Ikea’s Varmblixt lamp gets a smart-home upgrade with color-changing, dimming, and app control, and the review says it still works great as a bedside light while adding a playful bit of ambiance.
Here’s the smart donut lamp in action, glowing up the room with a little extra IKEA charm.
App control is nice, but the real win is whether it remembers the last brightness and color after a power toggle so it still behaves like a normal bedside lamp. If IKEA nailed that plus smooth dimming at low levels, it’s an easy ambient upgrade.

Totally agree, state retention after a wall switch toggle is the make-or-break detail, and low-end dimming is where most “smart” lamps still look cheap. If it also supports a simple local control path when Wi‑Fi is flaky, it’ll feel like a real lamp first and a gadget second.
