For interior designers, content creators, campers, or anyone who wants to effortlessly transform their environment with dynamic lighting, the Decktok V1, featured on Kickstarter, introduces a groundbreaking solution. Billed as the world's first foldable outdoor ambient light, the Decktok V1 combines unparalleled portability with intelligent features like app control, DIY color customization, and even a built-in power bank, making it your ultimate ambiance assistant for any space, indoors or out.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: Decktok V1: Your Foldable Floor Lamp and Ambiance Assistant by Peter Wu (Decktok Foldlight V1 company)
What It Is: A portable, foldable, and app-controlled LED floor lamp with a segmented design, offering customizable RGB lighting, music sync, and a built-in power bank for versatile indoor and outdoor use.
Key Features
Foldable & Portable Design: The Decktok V1 features a segmented light tube design that allows each section to rotate 270° and fold 180°. This unique flexibility enables it to be quickly installed (in about 1 second), shaped into various configurations (straight, L-shaped, Z-shaped, etc.), and easily folded for compact storage and transport.
Versatile Placement: It can be used as a traditional floor lamp, hung on a wall as a decorative piece, highlight TV perimeters, or provide diffuse light for streaming and content creation. Its portability makes it ideal for indoor use, outdoor camping, backyard gatherings, and any space where ambiance is desired.
Full RGB Customization (16 Million Colors): Control your lighting experience via the dedicated Tuya Smart App (compatible with iOS and Android). Choose from over a million colors, adjust brightness, and create dynamic RGB effects. The segmented design allows for independent control of each section, enabling gradient and multicolor lighting.
Smart Features & Ambiance Assistant:
Music Sync: A built-in high-sensitivity microphone allows the Decktok V1 to react to ambient sounds or music in real-time, creating a dynamic, party-ready lighting experience.
Timed Features: Set custom on/off schedules and countdown timers through the mobile app to integrate with your daily routine.
DIY Scene Modes: Save and recall your favorite custom lighting combinations with the "DIY" function in scene modes, applying them with a single tap.
Memory Function: The lamp remembers your last used brightness and light mode, even after being turned off or unplugged.
Built-in 10,000mAh Power Bank: Provides a long-lasting power source, typically offering 6 to 8 hours of lighting under normal use, making it ideal for extended outdoor activities or use without a direct power outlet.
Durable Construction: Made with high-quality, durable materials, including carbon steel hinges, to ensure longevity and withstand repeated folding and unfolding. High-life LED lights and quality electronics contribute to its robust build.

The Idea
Concept: To create a highly versatile and portable lighting solution that goes beyond simple illumination, empowering users to easily set personalized ambiances and enhance any indoor or outdoor space.
Inspiration: The Decktok V1 aims to address the limitations of traditional fixed lighting and less dynamic portable lights. Recognizing that lighting is crucial for mood, creativity, and architecture, the creators envisioned a product that provides ultimate flexibility in shaping and coloring light. By combining a unique foldable design with smart app control and a robust power source, Decktok seeks to offer "lighting flexibility to set the perfect vibe for your home, office online presentation and even outdoors," transforming every moment with changeable, custom illumination.
