- Runs on the duoCo StripX app
- Pulses to music from its own mic
- Several colours at once, chasing effects
A matched pair of 61in standing lamps with textured white fabric shades, so two corners of the room glow in the same colour and pulse together when the music starts.
Most colour lighting hides: a strip behind a TV, a rope under a shelf. The Torchlet pair does the opposite and stands in plain view as furniture. Each lamp rises 61 inches on a compact metal base and wears a textured white fabric shade, so by day it reads as a simple modern floor lamp and by night it fills a corner with colour.
Buying two changes the room more than buying one. Placed at either end of a sofa or in opposite corners, the lamps wash both walls in the same shade, and the whole space shifts colour at once. A lone lamp leaves one side dark; a pair makes the room feel deliberately lit.
The fabric matters more than it looks. A bare LED throws hard, spotty colour; a white shade diffuses it, so magenta turns into a soft rose haze and blue into a calm dusk on the wall. That diffusion is what lets a colour lamp look cosy rather than like a nightclub prop.
Dimming turns the same pair into background light for a film: a low, pale shade in both corners keeps the room visible without pulling eyes from the screen. Turn them up for guests and the room brightens without a single ceiling light switched on.
Torchlet covers the pair for one year, and the switch on each base is touch-operated, so there is no clicky pedal to hunt for with a foot in the dark.

Switch both lamps to music mode in duoCo StripX and they start listening. They follow the rhythm of whatever plays in the room, from a speaker, a TV or a film soundtrack, and change colour and brightness on the beat. With both corners reacting to the same song, the room feels like one light show rather than two gadgets.
Control comes three ways. The app carries the full palette of 16 million colours, scenes, brightness, speed, music modes and timers. The remote handles quick changes from across the room, and touch buttons on the base work when the phone is charging in another room.
DIY mode lets you build a custom colour to match a cushion, a poster or a team shirt. Saved as a scene, it comes back with one tap for every match day.
Music mode reacts to sound in the room, so the lamps respond just as well to a film's explosions as to a party playlist. Keep the speaker within a few steps of the pair and the colour changes land right on the beat.
Setting up takes minutes: unbox, put each lamp together as the manual shows, plug in and connect the app. The real choice is where they stand. Light behaves differently in a corner, beside a window or behind a chair, and the pair works best when the two positions balance each other.
The compact base suits small flats, bedrooms and dorms where floor space is tight. In a bedroom, one lamp at the bedside and the other in the far corner gives a soft, even glow for evenings, with a timer that fades both out after lights off.
These are indoor lamps and not water resistant, so keep them clear of plant watering, open windows in the rain and bathroom steam. A stable, level floor keeps a 61in lamp steady; thick rugs can make it lean, so a hard floor or low pile works best.
The Torchlet pair is the tallest, most furniture-like light in the family. Where table lamps glow at desk height and standing light bars throw a narrow column of colour, these fill the upper wall with soft, shaded light. That makes them the choice for a whole living room rather than a single desk or bedside.

| Aoresac RGB standing light | Floor, corner | A slim column of colour |
| Daymeet bedside table lamp | Nightstand | Bedside colour with music sync |
| MATICOD Modern X lamp | Desk or shelf | Sculptural gaming-room piece |
Questions to answer before ordering:
As a housewarming gift, the pair suits a first living room that still feels bare. It adds light and personality at once, and the white shade fits almost any decor. The app guide explains scenes and timers for anyone new to duoCo StripX.
The pair also sits happily beside other lights in the range. A TV backlight on the same app can glow the same colour as the corners, so the screen, the walls and the upper room all shift together when the film ends and the music begins. That kind of whole-room scene is where two tall lamps earn their space.
Anyone after a single lamp for a reading nook should look at the table lamps instead. The Torchlet is built for rooms, not chairs.
Each lamp stands 61in tall on a 9.1 × 9.1in base.
Yes. The Torchlet set is a pair of matching floor lamps with a remote.
Yes. Music mode in duoCo StripX makes them change with the rhythm of music or other sounds in the room.
Yes. The remote and the touch buttons on the base switch them on and change colours and modes.
Yes. The app turns brightness down or up and sets the speed of moving scenes, and a timer can switch them off.
