SOUNDBOKS - Lightboks - Audio Reactive Party Light - Black

As a musical household, we have almost weekly “dance parties” with the kids and we also bring the party to family gatherings. This Soundboks Party Light just replaced our gimmicky party light bulb for those occasions and enhances the vibes immensely because it synchronizes to the music so well. *What’s included?* Included in the box was just the lightbox and a manual. It charges by USB-C does not come with the cable. *Quality of Product* This party light is robust, hexagonal, and rubber padded. Because of its shape it is hard for it to accidentally get knocked over since it has seven surfaces it can rest on. It weighs just under 4lbs, and the handle makes it easy to transports and take just about anywhere, plus it fits in the average sized tote bag or backpack. It is splashproof and shockproof, which gives me peace of mind because we never know how rowdy dancing people will get. *Party Lights* The TrackSynch audio reactive technology works amazingly. There is a small speaker by the buttons that takes in sound and uses it to sync up the light effects. It works incredibly well, giving a professional feel to a very simple and portable set-up. Light effects: o There are 10 color schemes, each with a mix of four colors. o The three energy levels are chill, dance, and rave. o The light’s brightness is adjustable from 1-5, it includes zero, which is just lights off while still powered on. *App * The Soundbok app pairs with the light box right off the bat. It’s the quickest I have every synched a device to an app. It provides firmware updates, quick setting changes, plus visuals of the 10 color profiles. It also allows me to pair to additional Sounbok lights for synchronized lighting. When choosing energy level, it tells you approximately how long the battery life will last with each option. I can also turn off the light through the app but cannot turn on with it. *Durability/Battery Life* The battery life can last up to 14 hours, so it easily outlasts a night of use. Plus, it charges really quick, taking only about two and a half hours. Pressing the power button shows the amount of battery life left via the indicator light strip at the top of the light box. *Conclusion* Overall, the Sounboks Lightboks is such a great and easy way to create a fun environment and vibe with just music and lights. Its effortlessly portable, requires no connections, has long-lasting battery life, and works seamlessly with any speaker. Moreover, it is accident resistant and so easy to set up. I’m taking it with me to all my events, and maybe even camping for a fun way to keep the night lit up since it has such a long life.

What an amazing level up to parties and mood lighting! My spouse and I have 4-5 big parties/get togethers a year and love adding something fun to each event plus we go all out on Halloween and Xmas! So the Soundboks Lightboks speaker is going to really add some magic! First off, the build…Solid piece of craftsman ship. High quality build throughout and water resistant IP65 (splash proof)! It charges fast about 2 hours to get 14 hours of light, way more hours than my parties last! I also like that it has rubber skid proof on the sides that sit on a shelf or floor. It can be set up vertically or on its back to throw light where you want it. They did not provide a charger which I have mixed feelings on…but I have a ton of USB C laying around and I guess it’s nice not to clutter up with more cables, but it did kind of surprise me that they didn’t. It also has a built in handle in the base that makes it super easy to transport! The perfect on the go party accessory! Operations- This could not be any easier to operate!!!! I mean for tech these days…It is literally turn on and set it down!!! The light it produces is bright and fills a room nicely even a moderately light room. BUT THE MAGIC is that it has a microphone that hears the music and beats the lights to what it’s hearing!!!!! AWESOME!!! No more trying to sync it to a source ect to get that effect! Really a ton of fun and with such ease that it truly feels magical!!! The beat is spot on to the music and seems like it is programmed to do it but no…it is just smart! I also love that I can take it to a friends party that they are throwing…I just bring it… turn it on and boom! Professional DJ dance lighting!!!!!! LOVE! It has 10 color themes you can access by downloading the app, but I will have to say I was pretty disappointed that I could not control all the lighting and had to choose a theme…I wanted to be able to set light scapes like a light strip and maybe make all the light a certain shade of green and keep it that way…I could not find a way to do that…bummer. It seems like SOUNDBOKs devs could fix that really easily with firmware???? Love the dance lighting…would like more control over the mood lighting. I thought about dropping a star for that reason….but it just does such a great job, built well and and is a ton of fun…just didn’t seem fair…BUT if you want it for specific mood lighting like a light strip… just be aware that it doesn’t do that. You can also add more Lightboks together and syn them for more of a punch which is pretty cool. Overall – Awesome product for anyone that likes to rock out to their music in style, portable and as easy as it gets to operate!!!

The Lightboks Party Light is a light device that reacts to sounds. Put a music source near the internal microphone, and let the light run. Its seven lights will move, flash, and strobe independently to whatever source it listens to. Contents In the box, you will find the light with a storage bag. There’s no other hardware or cords. A paper instruction manual is included that has a QR code on it. The paper instructions explain how to charge and use it out of the box. If you use the QR code it will take you to an online Q&A. That Q&A has a link to download the same paper instructions digitally. Setting it up First, charge the light. The light charges through a USB-C port and can take 2.5 hours per the instructions. As mentioned, it doesn’t come with a charging cord, so you’ll need to have a way to charge through USB-C. Soundboks does sell their own official charger. They recommend using a minimum 30W charger for the fastest charging. Next, I recommend downloading the Soundboks app. It’s available on Apple and Google Play. You’ll set the light up through Bluetooth with the app. The app allows you to select color palettes otherwise not available through manual buttons on the light. It will also allow you to control all of the same settings that the buttons do. Firmware upgrades happen through the app. If you have multiple Lightboks lights, you can sync them together in the app. How it Works Lightboks Party Light listens to external audio sources through it’s internal microphone. The lights flash and move to the sounds it hears. It works with any music or speakers, even live music. Something important to consider is that you need to have the light close to the music source so that it’s listening to music instead of other sounds. This could change the light output if it reacts to things like screaming, cheering, tapping, etc. Control Buttons These are the controls available using the light’s buttons: • Power – on/off • Brightness – lumen output of lights • Energy – speeds of flashing lights; “Chill, Dance, and Rave” • Battery Status Light Lights Lightboks Party Light has seven 12W lights. The work independently of each other and can change speed through the music or the settings. The lights flash on and off, strobe, and roll or turn to move around for movement. They change colors, and the color can be minimally controlled through the app. These are very bright, and I recommend letting the light bounce off walls rather than look directly into them. Also, anyone who has light sensitivity or issues such as epilepsy will want to be careful with these. The light can be pretty intense. Additional Observations Confusing Information – The instruction manual could be a little more detailed. It’s confusing to understand if the light can get wet. The outer packaging box says that it’s “weatherproof”. The Warnings and Legal pamphlet says it’s intended for use indoors. The online Q&A says it has a IP65 rated electronics coating. I’m not sure if this can get wet or not. The App – It seems like the app is pretty limited. I’d like to be able to choose what colors I want to use. This doesn’t really do that. I want to be more specific than the color palettes that are offered. Daughter Loved It – My 8 year old immediately wanted to see what I was doing and even took over my Spotify playlist to see the lights react to her songs. She really enjoyed it. Easy to Use – It’s really easy to use out of the box. You can even use it without the app if you wanted to. Overall, the Lightboks Party Light is really fun to use. It’s easy to set up out of the box. I’d recommend for Soundboks to develop the app further and give more customization options. Also, I’d like to see a charger or at least a USB-A to USB-C cord come with it. It adds a level of fun while playing music.

As far as party lights go. Lightboks is amazing. This thing is built probably more for professionals then regular consumers and has a price that I feel reflects this. You get a very sturdy designed half dome of extremely bright lights, it is dimmable and runs several hours on its built in battery. It also seems to be very in tune with most music. Especially when placed atop a paired Soundboks speaker, but even standard speakers and audio sources work fine. At about the size of half a basketball and made from plastic and rubberized surfaces. Lightboks can be placed flat with domed lights aimed up towards ceiling/sky, or stood up with a mainly at the crowd light direction. Also includes a built in handle to carry or potentially hang the light. You get 7 independent RGB LED lens that react independently or jointly to sound, they do show light patterns without audio, but dance when certain audio beats hit. And that light dance is quick and strobe like on "Rave", fun and human paced on "Dance", relaxed and a bit moody on "Chill". I want to add that Lightboks on some songs, seems to know the song and where best to flash and change colors in a great weird AI like way. I don't think this device has AI though. All controls are dead simple on the app (really only needed for color theme changes) and also fairly simple with actual buttons on device too. Power button quick press gives battery level, long press to turn on/off. Light intensity dimmer (- or + button) shows level up or down on the included led light bar that is also used for power and charging level. The red "Energy" button toggles between the 3 speeds of light patterns: Chill, Dance and Rave. The Lightboks might possibly be a splurge if you don't DJ or run other events where fun lights give joy and ambience to a music filled room. And worse yet, you might want 2 to really get the room going. Lightboks gives you a better concert lights feel at home for a fraction of what some concert tickets cost. So maybe its a fun way to have an event at home. Might also be great fun to use the Lightboks with certain movies and sing along sessions of karaoke. If you like fun things, here you go.

We’ve had the Lightboks by Soundboks in our home for about a week now. We used it for a little get together the other night. We decided to play some music and let the lightboks set the mood. We are definitely impressed with it. Our guests all thought it was cool! The lightboks has three modes.. chill, dance and rave. We opted for dance mode for our get together. Soundboks calls the tech in it “TrackSync technology” and I personally was very impressed with how well it synced with our music for putting on a light show. We didn’t have to set up any presets or anything. The little light boks just listens to your music with its built in microphones and sets the vibe! I liked how the lights speed up for faster dance tracks, and will pulse rapidly before a bass line drops. There is an app on iOS that you can set up to change the settings, but it isn’t necessary. The lightboks has buttons that allow you to change modes and brightness on the fly. If I had to make a suggestion, I would say place it somewhere above eye level. Especially if you are prone to headaches from bright lights. Other than that, we love it, and plan on getting a second one later for our parties and a wedding. Lightboks claims you can get 14 hours of light from it, I can’t testify to that yet but I can assure you that you will get at least 6/7 hours. That’s how long our little get together lasted and the battery is still going strong.
