Portable Light Speakers

The UMA Sound Lantern by Pablo Designs Does Double Duty

— June 3, 2015 — Art & Design

Designed by Pablo Designs, the light speaker "combines LED technology with a wireless speaker to give off 360 degrees of both sound and light," writes Design Milk. It's finished with a touch sensitive volume control along with a light control dial to make using it as effortless as possible. Its made out of impact resistant polycarbonate shade, a silicone base and steel speaker grills.
