RGB wireless charger is the simplest way to describe the iCharge Glowlite (UG-GC47) from Urban Gear: a round black charging pad with a ring of coloured light running around its edge. The dark top is printed with the words “Fast Charger”, so there is no doubt about where the phone should rest.
The pad is a smart Qi charging pad rated at 15W for fast wireless charging. Any phone or accessory that supports Qi wireless charging can be placed on it and start charging without a connector pushed into the device. Actual charging speed depends on the device and on the power supply connected to the pad.
The light is the feature that sets this model apart. While a device is charging, an LED ring glows in RGB colours around the rim, giving a clear visual sign that power is flowing. In a dim room the glow is easy to spot from across the desk, and in daylight it shows as a thin coloured edge against the black body. That makes this RGB wireless charger as much a small desk accent as a charging tool.
Measuring 105 x 105 x 25 mm, the Glowlite takes up about as much room as a large coaster. It sits flat on a work desk, a bedside table or a café table, and a phone placed on it stays face-up, so calls and notifications remain visible while it charges. The product sheet sums up the experience in three words: effortless, elegant and fast.
Daily use is as simple as it sounds. Put the phone down when you sit at your desk, and pick it up when you leave. Charging begins on its own, the ring lights up, and the cable stays plugged into the pad rather than into the phone. For anyone who charges several times a day, an RGB wireless charger like this removes constant plugging and unplugging from the routine, and it spares the phone’s own charging port from daily wear.
