The Stuffcool Lumo is among the most attention-grabbing designs I’ve seen just lately in tech and because of this I needed to take a look at if it was additionally sensible sufficient for use every day. I strongly consider design may be each attention-grabbing and intriguing, however except it’s sensible, it defeats the very objective and finally ends up being artwork.
Design
The Stuffcool Lumo is a charging dock, basically for Apple units, that additionally serves as an ambinent lamp or evening mild. It’s the form of a banana in some methods, sitting on the desk with each its leads to the air.
It’s a one-stop charging station for Apple customers, with:
• Apple Watch charger — prime finish
• Magnetic charger for iPhone or different Qi2 suitable units — different finish
• AirPods charging slot — center
Ambient lighting
It’s greater than a charger. I put the Lumo on the evening stand subsequent to my mattress… that’s the place I often cost my units in a single day. Lumo generally is a one-tap nightlight right here, providing the whole lot from bluelight to heat and RGB colors. You possibly can run your fingers on the dotted button contained in the curve to alter the colors or their depth.
Nevertheless, there might have been a greater place to supply simpler entry to this button. A comfortable heat mild by your mattress is reassuring, particularly in case you are within the behavior of getting up in the midst of the evening. I’d have liked the lamp to have the power to save lots of the sunshine settings although.
Charging efficiency
Powered by a 30W wall adapter that connects by way of a USB-C cable, the Lumo prices the Apple Watch, AirPods and iPhone with none trouble.

For me the Apple Watch and iPhone are in a single day prices, whereas the AirPods should be charged solely as soon as per week. I had no trouble with the charger and the iPhone really prices sooner than with common wi-fi chargers.
It helps that you would be able to spin the iPhone round on the charger and even use it to work like an evening clock or a display screen to devour content material.
The catch
My solely subject was that the charger at occasions stopped charging the iPhone by itself. I couldn’t work out why this was occurring, as a result of the opposite units have been being juiced up as common on the similar time.

Whereas Apple’s Maglock know-how retains the iPhone firmly in place regardless of the angle, the Samsung Z Fold 7 progressively began sliding from the floor. So this won’t be supreme for Android customers.

Verdict
At Rs 5,999, the Stuffcool Lumo can be a trendy addition to you bedside or workplace desk in case you are a Apple junkie. Others may give this a miss except Stuffcool comes up with a model made for Android because the comfort of this machine is primarily meant for the rival faction.
