"iHome Docking Station Sheds New Light"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:16/01/2009

Type in the phrase iPod docking stations in Google and you will have over 1.5 million hits. In fact, the market is so saturated with docking stations right now that you can go and purchase one for as low as $50. If you want something out of the ordinary and you are willing to spend for it, may we suggest something fresh and unique for your desk?

We are constantly on the lookout for great iPod docking stations, and a product that we came across that may be a great addition to your home or office is iHome's iHL31. Sure, it functions just like any other iPod docking station, but just how many companies have thought of combining a docking station and a lamp in a single device?

The iHL31 has a docking base similar to the JBL On Stage: the base is surrounded by speakers, with the control buttons (volume up and down, light, speaker, and bass buttons) and docking port located above the speakers. The unit's line-in and line-out ports (3.5mm), as well as the AC-in port are located on the rear.

It uses a halogen bulb (GY) 6.35 with a maximum wattage of 35W (included in the package). The light can be turned on by either pressing the Light button at the base of the lamp or by using the remote control by pressing the button with the bulb icon.
