The Nanoleaf Smart Multicolor Ceiling Light Does More Than Just Brighten the Room

Overhead lighting usually has one job, and it often does that job with all the charm of a doctor’s office waiting room.

Available now for $79.99 in the U.S. and $99.99 in Canada, it’s designed for bedrooms, offices, kitchens, and living rooms where a single light may need to handle work, dinner, movie night, and the occasional dramatic playlist.

MorningBlues SonicGlass A1 Transparent Speaker Turns Your Music into the Main Event

Most speakers are designed to disappear into the background. Even the expensive ones usually aim for some version of “handsome rectangle that sounds good.” The MorningBlues SonicGlass A1 Transparent Speaker takes a very different approach. It wants to be noticed. More specifically, it wants to turn music into something visual, interactive, and personal, not just something playing from a box on a shelf.



Mattel Creations Brings Cyndi Lauper into the WWE Elite Line for SDCC 2026

Mattel Creations is using San Diego Comic-Con 2026 to revisit one of WWE’s strangest and most consequential pop-culture collisions with the WWE Elite 3-Pack featuring Cyndi Lauper, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, and Captain Lou Albano. Priced at $80, the SDCC exclusive marks the first WWE action figure inspired by Lauper, whose role in the Rock ‘N’ Wrestling era helped move professional wrestling beyond arena regulars and into MTV-era living rooms. For collectors, that makes this set more than a colorful oddity. It’s a tiny, poseable reminder that the 1980s had no chill and made chaos feel oddly inevitable.


Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 Leans Into Big Sound and Flexible Viewing

The Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 is Lenovo’s latest attempt to answer a question plenty of households already wrestle with: why keep a tablet, a Bluetooth speaker, a recipe screen, and a casual movie-night display scattered around the house when one device might handle most of it? Announced today, this entertainment-focused Android tablet pairs a 12.1″ 2.5K display with a nine-speaker JBL system, a rotating kickstand, and a starting price of $399.99.

It’s aimed at contractors, landscapers, DIYers, and anyone who has learned that lawn equipment, power tools, and “just one quick project” can still leave their ears ringing by dinnertime. Not exactly ideal for anyone.


Philips Skylight Brings Daylight-Inspired Ceiling Lighting Indoors

The Philips Skylight is Signify’s latest attempt to solve a familiar home problem: rooms that could use more daylight but don’t have the windows to get it. Designed as a slim, surface-mounted ceiling light, the new range is meant to mimic the brightness, depth, and changing rhythm of natural daylight indoors. It’s not a skylight in the construction-permit sense, so no one’s cutting a hole in your roof. Instead, it uses advanced LED lighting to create the visual impression of looking up toward a brighter, more open sky.


BOOX Go 6 Gen II Adds Stylus Support to Its Pocket-Friendly 6″ E Ink Reader

With the BOOX Go 6 Gen II, BOOX is giving its pocketable 6″ E Ink reader the one feature that might make it feel less like a single-purpose gadget and more like something worth carrying every day: stylus support. The $199.99 second-generation model keeps the travel-friendly size, adds compatibility with the optional InkSense Plus stylus, and includes a native notes app for jotting thoughts, marking passages, and keeping quick lists. It’s still an e-reader first, but now it can double as the tiny notebook you meant to pack and, predictably, forgot on the way out.

It’s aimed at the many people who bought a cellular-capable iPad but never attached it to a monthly plan, either because they didn’t need constant connectivity or because one more recurring bill felt like a small act of financial nonsense. The first day pass is complimentary, with a limit of one iPad per customer.

At $599.99 unlocked, it’s aimed at people who want a phone that can handle travel, kids, commutes, spills, and too-full tote bags without demanding full flagship money or treating durability as an optional personality trait when it arrives in June.


KLH Model Four Brings Big-Speaker Thinking to Rooms That Don’t Have Big-Speaker Space

At $999.99 each, or $1,999.98 per pair, it aims to bring a more placement-friendly version of the company’s sealed-box sound into apartments, condos, living rooms, and other spaces where audio gear has to behave around furniture, pets, and life.
