General Questions About the Lamps
New to Friendship Lamps, or just weighing one up? Here are quick answers to the questions we hear most — who the lamps are for, how they're powered, and how they behave once they're set up.
Who are LuvLink Friendship Lamps designed for?
Anyone who misses someone. Long-distance couples, friends in different cities, families spread around the world, military families during deployments, even remote coworkers who want to feel connected — the lamps work for all of them.
Can I use the lamp as a table lamp, night light, or for ambient lighting?
Yes. Use it as a soft night light in the bedroom, a desk lamp in a home office, or warm ambient lighting anywhere in the house. In the LuvLink App you can adjust the colour and brightness and set a sleep timer to suit the room.
Does the lamp have a rechargeable battery?
No. The lamps run on USB power, not batteries, so they stay plugged into a USB port, power bank, or wall adapter rather than being charged. See what you need to connect the lamp for the full list.
Does the other lamp light up as soon as I touch mine? Is there a delay?
It's instant. As long as both lamps share the same GroupID and have a stable internet connection, the other lamp lights up the moment you touch yours.
How many lamps can be connected?
There's no limit. Whether it's two people, a whole family, a group of friends, or a team, everyone just needs to be on the same GroupID.
What's the maximum distance between two lamps?
There's no distance limit at all. The lamps work exactly the same whether they're in the same room or on opposite sides of the world.
How long do the lamps stay on for?
When touched, the lamps pulse for 30 seconds, then stay on for 30 minutes while gradually dimming. You can adjust this in the LuvLink App — handy for working around time zone differences so nobody misses a touch.
