The 21st-century lightbulb
For a hundred years the socket was an open standard — any bulb, from any maker, fit any lamp, anywhere. You bought it once and owned it outright. Then lighting got "smart," and started asking for an account. gadz.tech makes smart lamps that work without us, forever: open firmware, swappable shades, yours to keep.
The product is the argument
A polished gadz app on top, and WLED-compatible firmware underneath — the way the socket was an open standard. No cloud, no account, no expiration date. Use our app, or any open tool; it never locks you in.
One light module, magnetic diffusers that swap between every product — the way bulbs and shades always came apart. Replace a part, never the whole thing.
A finished, owned object printed in Bisqlite™, our bone-china-white material — made to keep for decades, not binned in a year.
The catalog
Wired or cordless, open underneath. The platform that puts the whole idea in your home.
Magnetic, swappable, cross-compatible. Any shade you like, changed in a second.
The same light module and the same diffusers, built into machined-wood furniture.
Studio to shelf
Most hardware hides behind tooling and minimum orders. We build in-house at low volume — every piece finished by hand, iterated fast, made without the waste of mass manufacturing. A designed object should outlive the company that made it.
