Let there be light… and sound

Transparent launches the Light Speaker

Swedish electronics firm Transparent has melded light and sound technologies to create the Light Speaker, a portable Bluetooth speaker which creates its own soothing atmosphere.

With a light that glows with the audio, the Light Speaker has been crafted in the form of a traditional outdoor lantern and the type of light output can be adjusted all the way from flickering candlelight through to burning embers or an intense white reading light. To modulate the ‘style’ of light, there’s a control which allows for colour variations and subtle flicker.

On the audio side of things, the Light Speaker delivers its 5W output with a 2.5-inch full range driver and a passive 3-inch driver. Transparent has a signature sound designed to ‘channel the true intention of the artist’ and True Wireless technology means two Light Speakers can be paired for dual speaker streaming.

There’s up to ten hours of battery life and a detachable handle helps with overall portability.

The design includes the use of long lasting materials such as durable borosilicate glass and aluminium grilles which give a sturdy look and feel and also imbue an IPX2 weather rating for outdoor use.

Transparent was born out of a Kickstarter project almost ten years ago which led to the development of the Transparent Speaker aimed at bridging the gap between home electronics and interior design. A modular approach to design and the use of sustainable and long lasting materials creates opportunities for repair, replacement and upgrade over time, reducing waste and fulfilling the company’s eco-friendly credentials.

Looks like camping trips will no longer have to rely on that bloke with the acoustic guitar strumming next to the fire for musical atmosphere now.

The Transparent Light Speaker is priced at £290, €320 or $370 from Transparent’s website.
