High-end standing light connects your iPhone or iPad
CONE looks like a traditional desk light, but this high-end standing light comes with 4 features that have never been used together: Light, Speaker, Lightning Dock, and USB charger.
Until now, we have had a standing light as a reading light, a Lightning connector cable or a dock to charge devices, and a speaker to listen to music. All these separate functions required its own power adapters or cables and ended up having too many ‘cords’ or cables around.
CONE enabled all those features to come together and made it into one, beautifully clean device with a single cable.
As an added bonus, you can download an app for free to have functions such as an alarm clock or music player (sleep timer included) to be used with the CONE.
Standing light that comes with necessary functions for our daily life
CONE’s classic desk light design fits easily into your daily life as a functional reading light that can blend into any of your environments. The LED light with 4 adjustable dimmer setting allows you to choose the brightness with a swtich.
The lamp shade can be rotated from side to side as well as up and down to adjust the angle of light. When you put the CONE between two beds, you can decide which direction you want the light to go in.
High-quality and high volume speaker
The design of the lamp shade for this desk light was optimally sized to cleverly enclose a hidden speaker.
The USB interface through the Lightning dock with your iPhone or iPad allows easy, no set-up access to the music library on your device so you can play your favorite tunes through the lamp amplifier for a superior sound experience.
The smart design featuring an embedded speaker within the cone-shaped lamp creates a high-volume, and high-quality sound path that will be directed the same way as your light beam.
Rotating Lightning dock to set your iPhone or iPad
A Lightning connector has been placed on the pedestal of CONE to charge your iPhone or iPad and the lamp arm becomes a backrest to keep your device in place during charging.
The NuAns branded knob fitted on the lamp arm is height adjustable and protects your device from potential damage or scratches while it is charging.
Rotating Lightning dock to protect connector part
The Lightning connector is located on a rotating disk that can store and hide the connector piece within the pedestal, protecting it when it is not in use. This rotating disk feature allows your iPhone or iPad to sit at an appropriate angle to connect even with a case.
The Lightning connector is capable of a 2.4A output, the maximum electric current for fast-charging an iPhone. This quick charging capability means it charges devices, like an iPhone, faster than via the attached AC adaptor to the stand light.
The Lightning connector not only enables charging, but also supports the transmission of music either through your iPhone or iPad music library or via other music playing apps.
USB charger port in the back as a bonus feature
CONE also comes with a USB connector port on the backside of the pedestal. This USB connector works up to a 2.1A output, for fast charging.
You can charge two devices simultaneously, by using both the Lightning connector and the USB port.
Multiple added usages by integrating App
CONE comes as a multi-featured standlight, with the ability to add even more functions through use of CONE’s free original app. Keep the app up to date to receive the latest upgrades.

Thoughts and details to the max
AC adapters are necessities with electric devices but their design aesthetics have not been as refined as the main devices themselves.
The AC adapter attached to CONE includes a NuAns logo and has been scaled to be less clunky, compact and more elegant.
The environment was also at the forefront of our minds in terms of packaging the product with recyclable cardboard rather than styrofoam.
Presence, with nuance
CONE has a very strong presence wherever you put it, because of the many features which no light stand has ever had. It is also a departure from the classical design with a large lamp shade.

Design intelligence by TENT
Even though CONE has many functions, it is simple and very easy to use so that does not confuse users.
Moreover, the purpose-built app was created with design in mind. The app was scrutinized for its overall look down to the location of each button to may it simple with a pleasing display.
We designed CONE to provide a pleasant musical experience within a lamp that provides natural-feeling lighting. We hope you will find it to be a comfortable tool for daily use, but morning and night.
