Luminous Musical Docks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The t'Light S Lights Up the Home While Blasting Tunes

— November 16, 2011 — Tech
There are a ton of iPod/smartphone docks out on the market, but the t'Light S does bring something new to the table that easily sets itself apart from the others.

The t'Light S, an MP3 dock is a convenient multi-functional accessory that's packed with a few worthy features. For one, it functions as a lamp, which is a surprising add-on that hasn't been seen before in other designs. It's also a set of speakers with audio projecting from the perforated holes on the head of the lights. The base serves as the dock for iPods with an additional USB plug-in on the side for other devices. The t'Light S can be controlled manually or via remote which can also handle playback options on the iPod.

I'd say this is the best option so far in terms of multi-functional iPod docks.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-functional Devices - The t'Light S dock serves as both a lamp and a set of speakers, suggesting disruption opportunities in creating multi-functional devices that cater to various needs.
2. Innovative Audio-visual Design - The t'Light S's perforated lamp head that also functions as a speaker highlights an opportunity for disruptive innovations in creating unique audio-visual designs that combine aesthetics and functionality.
3. Smart Home Accessories - The t'Light S's integration of smart features such as remote control capabilities indicates an opportunity for disruption in the smart home accessory market by developing products that offer greater convenience and automation to consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor and Furnishings - The t'Light S represents a disruptive opportunity for home decor and furnishings industries to enhance products with technology and create multi-functional designs that add value to consumers' homes.
2. Consumer Electronics - The t'Light S's integration of audiovisual features within a single device suggests opportunities for disruptive innovation in the consumer electronics sector by building products that cater to more than one need.
3. Smart Home Technology - The t'Light S's integration of smart home capabilities in a multi-functional device indicates an opportunity for disruption in the smart home technology sector by designing products that integrate with other home automation systems.
