Lighting might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about music production or studio work—but for Ivan Li, Brand Manager at Lepro (pictured above), it plays a critical role. Lepro has been developing AI-enhanced lighting solutions that go beyond traditional bulbs and strips. With products like the O1 AI Floor Lamp and LightGPM color-matching engine, the company is helping redefine how light affects energy, flow, and focus in creative environments.
Whether it’s a tight bedroom studio or a larger shared space, Lepro’s gear offers dynamic lighting that adapts in real-time to sound, emotion, and workflow. Their Music Sync technology links lighting effects directly to the pulse of your track, while their adaptive smart systems can shift color temperature to match the moment—cooler hues for stimulation, warmer tones for wind-down. We caught up with Ivan to explore the practical and emotional value of lighting in the studio.
From your perspective, how does lighting impact creative focus during long studio sessions?
Proper lighting is pivotal in maintaining creative focus during extended studio sessions. Lighting that minimizes glare and reduces eye strain helps artists and producers remain comfortable and attentive. Lepro’s O1 AI Floor Lamp, for instance, offers customizable brightness and color temperatures, allowing users to tailor the lighting to their specific needs, thereby enhancing concentration and productivity.
How can lighting be used to help manage energy or fatigue during long sessions?
Dynamic lighting can significantly influence energy levels and mitigate fatigue. By adjusting color temperatures—utilizing cooler tones to invigorate and warmer hues to relax—lighting can align with the body’s natural circadian rhythms. Lepro’s AI-generated lighting solutions, powered by our LightGPM technology, can adapt to users’ moods and commands, creating an environment that supports sustained energy and reduces fatigue during prolonged sessions.
Our LightGPM technology is grounded in color psychology and lighting design theory. It responds to users’ activity and mood by intelligently adjusting color combinations, rhythm, and speed—enhancing positive emotions and calming overstimulated minds.
What role does dynamic or responsive lighting play in keeping people engaged creatively?
Dynamic lighting introduces variability and responsiveness into the studio environment, which can stimulate creativity and prevent monotony. Features like Lepro’s LightBeats Music Sync synchronize lighting effects with audio, creating an immersive, sensory-rich experience that inspires new ideas and keeps creative minds engaged. Active lighting effects that shift with the music can also energize artists by simulating the vibe of a live performance, helping creators feel more emotionally connected to their work.
What advice would you give to someone building out a home studio with lighting in mind from day one?
Integrating adaptable and intelligent lighting from the outset is a smart move. AI-driven systems simplify the process of adjusting color, brightness, and responsiveness while giving users full control over the atmosphere. Products like Lepro’s AI Smart LED Wall Lights or Neon RGB Rope Lights can elevate both the aesthetics and function of a home studio—making it easier to get into a creative headspace every time you sit down to work.
What are you most excited about in terms of lighting tech and creative studios?
The most exciting development right now is the potential of AI-generated lighting. With LightGPM, we’re moving toward highly responsive environments where lights don’t just follow commands—they anticipate needs. Imagine lighting that matches the emotional tone of your session or the story arc of your album. That’s what we’re building.
For producers working out of small or shared spaces, what’s the most impactful lighting upgrade they can make?
In compact spaces, versatility is everything. Small-format AI lighting like Smart LED Strip Lights or even portable RGB desk lamps can completely change the vibe without taking up real estate. These tools let you shape your environment visually, even if you’re working from a corner or sharing space with others. It’s a small investment that makes a big creative difference.
