Anytime Dyson releases a product, we all take notice. That's because the company has a well-deserved reputation for taking every day products, and improving on them… by turning them into, as the New YorkTimes put it, ‘generational status symbols’. Big time. While Dyson has definitely made vacuums and blow dryers better, can it possibly do the same with the humble desk lamp? Meet the Dyson SolarCycle Morph.

In this review, I’m going to try the light out in my home, I’ll show you what it can do that makes it special and Dyson-worthy, and talk about whether it really does bring more to the table… or to the desk. Wrap things up with the pros and cons and let you know if I think I can recommend this light for you.
A word about my review of Dyson SolarCycle Morph
First off, I want to say two things about this lamp to frame this review. The first is to address the very high price of this lamp. At about $649USD/$849CAD, this lamp is going to be out of budget for most of us. I am hyper aware of that particularly in these budget conscious times.
The reason I’m reviewing it is for the second thing I want to say about this lamp and that’s that it isn't just your run-of-the mill lamp or even an average smart light; Dyson positions this as a ‘fully automated lighting solution’ that dynamically adjusts its light based on local daylight.
No more fiddling with settings to get the light just right. But does it live up to the hype, and could you make a case either for the automation features, or even to just pick it up as a cool piece of furniture architecture for your office if you want to splurge? That’s what I’ll evaluate in this review.
And lastly in the housekeeping department, I would like to thank Dyson for sending me a sample of this light. While the company has provided it to me for this review it has not asked for or received permission to view the story in advance or to have any input, and I got to test and review it as I wanted to so you can consider these spots 100% my own.
What are you getting?
Calling the solar cycle morph a desk lamp is like calling a Tesla a car. Accurate but there's a lot more to both the story and the development behind it.
Yes, Dyson SolarCycle Morph is an articulating desk lamp with LED light. It has a handful of special features that set it apart. I’ll go over the list then dive into each one in detail:
Automatic daylight adjustment
Motion detection
Warm or Cool light tones
Adaptable design (task or ambient light)
App connectivity & personalization
Built in charging
But first let’s get to the unboxing, assembly and set up…
Unboxing, Assembly & Set up
When I first opened up the box I assumed the light was in one piece but quickly realized it would require assembly. Fortunately the assembly is extremely simple. There are really only two parts that you have to connect; screw the light arm into the heavy weighted base and secure it with the included screw.
Then connect the power cable which sits perfectly inside a grooved channel in the base of the lamp. Once assembled the lamp is quite heavy which I like because it's not going to go anywhere even if I brush past it.
The next thing to do will be to connect the lamp with the My Dyson app so you can take advantage of feature number one, and that’s the daylight adjustment.
Really need to do is choose to add a product and follow the steps inside the app which will pair the light to your phone.
From there you need to grant permission for the light to view your location (for the daylight adjustments) and then you're ready to use it.
There are controls both on the lamp and you can use the app to make adjustments too.
I will say I actually thought the controls lived on the side of the lamp arm where you can see the small icons, but the truth is these are physical buttons that actually live underneath the light, which keeps them from marring the ultra minimalist design.
