The lamp comes with a [puck-shaped feature that sits outside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sula) and records the "color, intensity and fickleness from the moments of shadow to the vibrancy of a sunny day." The recordings are connected to the lamp via its accompanying app, to be replicated by through the device whenever the user requires it. Owners of the Inhabitant lamp can save the days of sun-recording onto their phones to create playlists of light that can be featured on the lamp at the user's discretion. This innovative lamp's ability to replicate the sun's lighting makes it a functional home decor item unlike any other. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sun-recording Technology:** Opportunity for developing new products and devices that can replicate and mimic natural sunlight for various applications. - **Smart Home Lighting:** Opportunity to create intelligent lighting solutions that can adjust and replicate natural lighting conditions based on user preferences and time of day. - **Personalized Light Experiences:** Opportunity to offer customizable and immersive light experiences that can be tailored to individual preferences and moods. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Innovative lighting solutions can redefine the way people enhance their living spaces and create ambiance using artificial lighting sources. - **Health and Wellness:** Developing products that replicate sunlight could have positive effects on mental health, sleep patterns, and can be used in light therapy practices. - **Hospitality:** Hotels, restaurants, and resorts could offer unique personalized lighting experiences to enhance guest satisfaction and create memorable atmospheres. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Solar Portable Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iggy-lamp.md) - [Sunset-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunset-light-nicktable-lamp-light-design-lamp-design-lighting-design.md) - [Sleep-Aiding Tranquil Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-player.md) - [Dual-Purpose Camera-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgian-floor-lamp-clock.md) - [Flippable Solar Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-3.md) - [Textured Moon-Inspired Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-phase-lamp.md) - [Sound-Sensitive LED Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-led-lamp.md) - [Glowing Power-Free Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nisshoku.md) - [Minimal Wake-Aware Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-sleep-light.md)
