What is it?
LIFX is a LED light which you can control with your smartphone. It has a few cool functions. The lamp doesn’t use much energy and the lifespan of the light is 25 years.
It is plug and play: put the lightbulb in, install the app on your smartphone and connect to wifi. So easy!
It works on Android as well on iOS.
The app gives you the possibility, for example, to change the color slowly. It’s useful when you have to wake up. But it’s also useful when you go to bed.
Automatic set in an on/off schedule or mood lighting that matches the beat when you are listening to music. Match your mood or your decor.
The lamp will even flash when you receive a notification on Facebook or on your email.
Why is it cool and why has it future growth potential?
You don’t need electricians and ugly control boxes. According to Phil Bosua, one of the founders from LIFX, it’s time for change. ‘Our need for light, equals about 20 percent power consumption pro household. It’s time to reduce this to not only bring your own electricity bill down but also the power consumption worldwide.’ (http://lifx.co/main/)
And of course it’s nice looking and easy to use.
LIFX was a very successful Kickstarterproject and therefore it is not immediately available, but you allready can order one. Look for it on: http://store.lifx.co
