I have spent the last week testing the Tempt Privee Lunar speaker, and it is immediately clear that this is not just an audio device. It attempts to bridge the gap between technology and home wellness. In a market saturated with rugged, black, bass-heavy speakers, the Privee Lunar takes a softer approach. It positions itself as a lifestyle accessory designed for your bedside table or yoga mat rather than a backpack.
Key Takeaways
- Unique Aesthetic: The transparent, moon-inspired design serves as an excellent bedside decor piece.
- Multi-Functional: Integrates a Bluetooth speaker, night lamp, and aroma diffuser in one compact unit.
- Sound Quality: The 8W output is sufficient for personal listening and relaxation but lacks deep bass for parties.
- Battery Reality: While it claims 40 hours, heavy usage with lights and high volume drains the 1800mAh battery much faster.
- Diffuser Type: Uses a mist-free ceramic plate system, meaning no water is required, which keeps the area dry.
Design and Build Quality
The first thing you notice is the visual appeal. The “Moon-Inspired” design features a transparent outer shell that encases a textured, moon-like sphere. When the light is off, it looks like a modern art piece. When you turn it on, the internal sphere glows, creating a soft, diffused illumination.
The build is primarily plastic but feels sturdy enough for indoor use. It sits firmly on a flat surface, which is important because of the aroma diffuser component on top. The buttons are placed for easy access, though they are tactile rather than touch-sensitive. I found the white colour scheme blends well with most room interiors, especially if you have minimal decor.
Audio Performance
Tempt has equipped this unit with a 57mm dynamic driver pushing 8W of power. I tested it with a mix of Bollywood acoustics, classical instrumentals, and podcasts.
For a bedroom or a small home office, the volume is adequate. The vocals are clear, and the mids are well-pronounced, which makes it great for listening to melodies or audiobooks. However, if you are expecting earth-shattering bass, you might be disappointed. The 8W output is decent for background music, but it struggles to deliver the thump needed for high-energy dance tracks.
The standout audio feature is actually the “Soothing Sound Modes.” With a single press, you can cycle through sounds of birds, ocean waves, or chirping. I found this incredibly useful for falling asleep. It eliminates the need to use a phone app for white noise.
The Aroma Diffuser and Light
Unlike ultrasonic diffusers that require water and create mist, the Privee Lunar uses a ceramic moon plate. You simply drop the included essential oil onto the plate. The device gently warms the oil to disperse the fragrance.
This mist-free approach is a major advantage for electronics. I did not have to worry about water spilling on my table or humidity affecting the speaker. The scent diffusion is subtle. It does not overpower the room like an aerosol spray but creates a light, lingering fragrance effectively within a 10-foot radius.
The lamp function offers Warm and White modes. The warm setting is perfect for reading at night, as it is not harsh on the eyes. The white mode is brighter and works well as a small desk lamp.
Battery Life and Charging
The company claims up to 40 hours of playback with its 1800mAh battery. In my testing, this figure seems to apply only when the volume is low and the light is off.
When I used it as a full bedside companion-light on warm mode, soft jazz playing at 60% volume, and the diffuser running—I got roughly 6 to 8 hours of continuous use. This is still respectable. It easily lasts through a night of sleep sounds or a long work session. Charging via the Type-C port is standard and takes a couple of hours to top up fully.
Real-World Usage Verdict
I used the Privee Lunar primarily during my evening routine. The Bluetooth v5.4 connectivity is stable; I walked to the kitchen with my phone and the music did not stutter. The transition from a music speaker to a sleep aid is its strongest selling point. You can listen to music while getting ready for bed, then switch to the ocean sound and warm light to drift off.

Q5: How do I clean the oil tray?
