Over the last year, we’ve featured several RGB lighting options on Living In My GameSpace. Today, we’re putting away our Govee and Nanoleaf lights and trying out a vendor we’ve never used before: Lepro. Lepro sent us a trio of their new AI Smart Lamps: the O1 Floor Lamp and the TB1 and TB2 Table Lamps. I’ve been very happy with the previous lighting kits I’ve tried out, so Lepro has a high bar to clear if it hopes to be Living In My GameSpace. Read on to see if they make the grade.
Who Is Lepro?
I may be new to Lepro, but Lepro isn’t new to lighting. Founded in 2012, Lepro offers a diverse range of products, including both industrial and residential options. But we’re gamers, so if it doesn’t say ‘LED’ or ‘RGB’ on the box, we don’t care. Lepro has us covered with a lineup including RGB bulbs, LED light strips, and other RGB kits. Now, as AI starts to infiltrate all aspects of our lives, Lepro has leveraged LLM (Large Language Modeling) to infuse its latest floor and table lamps with the Lepro AI LightGPM 2.0 to help you generate better lighting effects.

AI Smart Lamps: Setup and Use
All three of the lamps require very little assembly to take them from the box to display. The TB1 and TB2 are both two-piece designs with a simple snap-in connector. The O1 floor lamp consists of the lamp head, a three-piece pole, and a base. The cord is already in place, so all you have to do isscrew all of the pieces together to complete the assembly.
Powering each lamp is an AC-to-DC wall plug with a 5.9-foot cord; you won’t find any USB cords with an adapter here. While the O1’s cord is already connected to the lamp, the TB1 and TB2 have detachable cords that plug into the base of the lamp. For basic controls, there’s a power button and microphone built into the O1 and TB1 lamps, whereas the TB2’s design relocates them to the power cord; full functionality is accessed through the Lepro App.
Each lamp offers up a unique aesthetic, with the Lepro O1 Floor Lamp being my least favorite of the three. Everything about the O1 lamp works as advertised, but it just doesn’t have the same visual impact as RGB floor lamps from other manufacturers, which feature a light strip running the entire length of the lamp. As it stands (pun intended), the lamp reminds me of a barber pole, albeit with a brightly lit RGB style.
The TB1 and TB2 lamps have more unique designs. Music lovers will appreciate the TB2’s treble clef design, while the TB1 features a three-ring design with inner rings that can be rotated, giving it a gyroscope look. The lamps aren’t your typical RGB designs and add some flair that standard lamps don’t have, but they are still tame enough to allow you to bring the lamps out of your game space and into the rest of the house.
AI Smart Lamps: How About That AI?
You can turn the lamps on and off using the button integrated into the power cord, and compatibility with Alexa and Google Home provides voice control. But to access all the lamps have to offer, including AI scene generation, you’ll need to download the Lepro App.
The Lepro App unlocks several features you’ll find on other RGB lighting. Under the DIY section, you can set the color of each LED and apply effects such as breathe, gradient, and left/right flow. There’s also a Music Mode that has several preset wave effects.

What interests me the most about the lamps is Lepro’s AI mode. Through voice or text, you can control a lamp with basic functions such as “turn on,” “make the lights brighter/dimmer,” and “turn on music mode.” The AI has been trained to interpret scenes like “set Fourth of July lights,” “show me the Milky Way,” or “create a rainbow effect.” Furthermore, the AI has been trained to create scenes that match your mood, such as “I am happy” for bright, vivid scenes or “I am angry,” which produces red-hued scenes. The AI will generate multiple scenes for each prompt, which you can further personalize by asking it to slow down or speed up effects, brighten or dim, or even change the colors before saving your favorites for future use.
Final Thoughts
Are Lepro’s lighting options better than Nanoleaf or Govee? That will depend on what you are looking for. If you are interested in syncing all your lights together and mirroring the colors on your screen, then these lamps may not be what you’re looking for. However, if you’re looking for some cool standalone light displays, Lepro offers some very attractive options. The TB1 and TB2 lamps are equal parts LED light and art pieces, and will look good in your game room or living room. They also boast a similar feature set to the big names, including music sync, multiple scenes, AI scene generation, and compatibility with other whole-home lighting ecosystems.
The Lepro O1 Floor Lamp was my least favorite out of the three lamps I was sent. Everything about the lamp works as advertised, but it just doesn’t have the same visual impact as other floor lamps with a light strip running the entire length of the lamp. As it stands (pun intended), the lamp reminds me of a barber pole, albeit with a brightly lit RGB style. Additionally, I could achieve a similar effect with a basic floor lamp fitted with an RGB bulb for a fraction of the price.
On the flip side, I really like the TB1 and TB2 table lamps. Their unique shapes add a pop that other RGB lamps lack. The designs work very well with flowing scenes, and the AI generator gives you unlimited options with minimal effort.
