For anyone with a loved one starting somewhere new
Give them a little piece of home.
When a loved one moves away—to college, a new city, or their first place—the instinct to stay connected doesn’t disappear. Set Stormdrop to follow the weather back home, and its glow changes in their new room as rain, snow, and clear skies pass through—a small reminder of where they came from as they make somewhere new their own.
For parents and loved ones back home
Keep a little of their new world nearby.
Parents and loved ones can keep Stormdrop at home and set it to follow the weather where someone they love has moved—whether that’s college, a first apartment, or a new city. When rain moves through, snow arrives, or the sky clears, the glow changes with it—a quiet reminder of the life they’re building between calls.
Choose somewhere that matters. Stormdrop Lamp turns the current weather there—from rain and snow to clouds, storms, and temperature extremes—into a changing ambient glow you can customize.
Interest only. No order or payment.

What is real today
A working lamp in private pilot.
- Working behavior: current weather, automatic color changes, adjustable brightness, and customizable scenes.
- Physical proof: the video shows a real working Stormdrop prototype cycling through its light behavior. It demonstrates the lamp’s light behavior; the depicted weather conditions were not independently verified.
- Still open: final production design, dimensions, included items, public availability, price, and timing.
Compatibility matters
Confirm the network before counting on the lamp.
- A supported phone and the Stormdrop companion app are required. The current private pilot uses iPhone and Android builds; final public OS and version support remains open.
- Setup requires compatible 2.4 GHz personal or home Wi-Fi.
- Stormdrop does not support captive-portal sign-in pages or enterprise authentication.
- Dorm, campus, apartment, hotel, and workplace networks may be incompatible. Confirm the recipient or buyer controls a compatible network.
One controlled working offer
Would you want launch updates if the standard Kickstarter price were $129 + shipping?
This price is a working research presentation for one standard configuration. It is not a final public price or a commitment that a campaign will open.
Questions, answered
The honest version.
Can I buy one now?+
No. Stormdrop Lamp is in a private pilot. This page collects price-qualified interest only; it does not accept an order, reservation, deposit, or payment.
Does the lamp show a forecast?+
No. Stormdrop translates current conditions into ambient color. It is not a weather station, detailed display, safety device, or room’s primary light.
Can I change the place and colors?+
Yes. The companion app lets you choose another location and tailor condition colors and brightness.
