The Zennio Tecla XL Late last year the Ivory Egg crew returned from Light + Building 2022 in Frankfurt with news of the Zennio Tecla XL, and it caught my eye. What’s not to love about the Aussie mounting compatibility, the sleek, sexy look, the distinct capacitive buttons, and – as I was to find …

I’ve written before about the lousy state of the lighting in the new home we bought last year. Fortunately we moved in during Summer, so the days were long and the need for lighting minimal. Early in the research phase someone introduced me to the concept of Human Centric Lighting, and I was hooked. That …
I’m a little late to get my mitts on an EagleEye Mini USB camera, but circumstances recently gave me cause to take a closer look. If you’ve not encountered it before, the Mini is a compact 1920×1080 HD USB camera, initially designed to slot into the top USB port on your VVX501 or 601, but …
I recently had the opportunity to spend some quality time with “Pano”, Polycom’s meeting room collaboration interface, and I found it a really useful piece of kit. What Is It?

We were recently challenged by a customer to provide an economical cordless handset solution for their Skype for Business deployment. This same solution was required at each of their many small sites, so the economies of scale of a larger certified WiFi solution couldn’t be realised. There was no requirement for roaming as each of …
Since I last reviewed the Blynclight back in 2013 it’s evolved a couple of generations, added a speaker, spawned a “mini” model – and two headsets – and grown significantly in its utility. I thought an updated review was in order! In case you’re not familiar with these devices, they connect to your PC via …
It turns out that my last review of external presence indicators (generically “Busylights”) was over three years ago, so with the arrival of the Kuando Busylight “Omega” recently I thought I should see what’s changed in both camps. Bart’s here for scale modelling the Kuando models, with the Omega on the left sitting next to …
Yealink’s not a brand you normally associate with Lync and the corporate end of town, but perhaps as an indicator of the strength of the Lync brand they’ve thrown their hat into the ring and released two phone models with firmware for Lync. I managed to get my mitts on the high-end “T48G” and thought …
