Review: A premium Bitcoin LED light – CRYPTOTAG Hodl Light
Today I received the CRYPTOTAG Hodl Light. And I must say, I am really impressed.
UNBOXING THE HODL LIGHT
The Hodl Light comes in a beautiful white box. As soon as you open the box you immediately see the bitcoin lamp in the foam. It is immediately clear that they paid attention to every detail. From the outer packaging to the inner packaging and the lamp and parts itself.
There is a booklet in the box, but I checked the tutorial on the CRYPTOTAG website. It's all self-explanatory, but I still wanted to check out the tutorial to make sure I'm not forgetting anything.
I have to connect two cables, download the Tuya Smart app and connect the lamp to the app. This went so fast that I could control the lamp with the app within a minute. You can hang the lamp on the wall, with the included hanging system. However, I placed my lamp in the stand. The stand is made of high-quality acrylic and looks like glass. This makes the lamp seem to float a bit and the light from the Hodl Light also reflects very nicely from the stand.
BITCOIN NEON LIGHT
Wow. The light of the lamp is very nice and bright. It looks even better in real life than in the pictures. It looks like a Bitcoin Neon lamp, but it is not neon. It's LED. This is nice, because the lamp uses little power and hardly gets warm.
The first minutes I was checking all the colors. The app works very smoothly and a bit mesmerizing. You can change between over a million colors. The colors of the Hodl Light change beautifully in real-time when I make adjustments in the app.
With the app I can create different scenes. I created a scene where the lamp changes color every 10 seconds. I did lower the brightness of the lamp, so that it is not too bright in my room. It's also possible to schedule when the lamp turns on and off, and you can even make the lamp interact with music so the lamp flashes with the beat.
The Hodl Light can also be linked to your Smart Home, such as Google Smart Home, Amazon Alexa/Echo, Homey, Samsung SmartThings and many more. The only disadvantage is that it cannot be linked to Apple HomeKit. But Apple, Google and Amazon are working on a platform that will allow all smart home devices to work on all devices. I think the ETA is Q3 or Q4 of 2022.
TO SUMMARIZE
Overall, it's a wonderful product. The light of the CRYPTOTAG Hodl Light is even more beautiful than I thought, and the size of the lamp is just right. There is not a lot of crypto merchandise on the market, so this is a very nice addition. Crypto is digital, but if you are looking for a beautiful physical product, this is the perfect must-have. For yourself, but this is also an amazing gift! I ordered one extra to gift to a friend.
