Okay, we need a moment. Actually, scratch that—we need a celebration.
Just when we thought 2026 couldn’t get any brighter, Poplight got the ultimate stamp of approval. Guess what?
We’re officially featured in the NYT's Wirecutter. 🤯 Here's the full article.
That’s right. The product recommendation site that millions of people trust to tell them what’s actually worth buying just put Poplight in the spotlight. And honestly? We are floating.
For those of you who have been with us since day one, you know the mission: banish ugly cords, save security deposits, and make mood lighting so easy a toddler could do it. Well, it looks like the experts over at Wirecutter totally get it.
🔦 What Did Wirecutter Say About Poplight?
Wirecutter’s team spent hours (and we mean hours) researching, testing, and comparing the best cordless, rechargeable wall sconces on the market. They wanted to find the ones that check every single box: easy installation, beautiful design, solid battery life, and—of course—that vibe factor.
They loved how our sconces bring that high-end, designer look without the headache of hardwiring. But the parts that really made us blush? They highlighted exactly what we obsess over every single day:
1. The App Control. Being able to dim the lights, set a sleep timer, or change the color temperature from your phone? Wirecutter agreed that it’s a total game-changer for setting the mood.
"You can use the Poplight’s intuitive app to set custom timers, adjust brightness, and choose between three temperature settings. It also tracks the sconce’s battery life."
2. The Color Range. From dusty rose to sage green to that iconic vermillion red, they noticed that we care about style just as much as functionality.
"This lamp is available in cool colors, like marigold and vermillion, and has a playful shape. The included 6-foot charging cable matches the color of your lamp, so it even looks stylish plugged in."
3. The Built-in Level. Yep, the little detail that saves you from the dreaded “crooked sconce” meltdown. No tape measures, no penciling in marks—just stick it up and go.
"The Poplight comes with a built-in level, which helped me install it straight with very little effort. (Bonus: The adhesive tape was the easiest one to remove after testing.)"
Basically, they confirmed what you all have been telling us for years: Poplight is the smart, stylish, and ridiculously easy way to light up your walls.
✨ Why This Is a Big Deal (For Your Walls)
Let’s be real for a second; being named by Wirecutter hits different. Wirecutter doesn’t do fluff. They don’t feature products just because they look pretty. They put things through the wringer so their readers know exactly what to buy with confidence.
And they chose us.
This feature is a huge sign that the way we think about home lighting is changing. The era of calling an electrician, patching drywall, and spending a small fortune just to get a sconce above your bed? Over.
The era of peel-and-stick, rechargeable, app-controlled, gorgeous lighting that moves with you? So in.
