Notes

A smart color table lamp is usually a premium accent piece used daily for mood lighting, bedtime routines, and scenes synced across rooms. Failures tend to cluster around the power supply, the LED driver/light engine, or the control board that handles dimming and color mixing.

Repair is most reasonable when the issue is external (cord, power adapter, loose connection) or when the manufacturer offers replacement parts at a fair cost. Replace is typically the better decision if the lamp's electronics fail (no power, random resets, color channels failing) because sealed lighting assemblies and proprietary parts can push repair labor close to the cost of a new lamp.

Also consider whether you're invested in the Hue ecosystem-compatibility can justify replacement.
