Kickstarter is always throwing up amazing tech these days and this is no exception. LIFX is a WiFi enabled, multi-color, energy efficient LED light bulb that you control with a free app from your iphone or Android device. The system can address bulbs individually or as a group and they can even be used to flash as notifications for say receiving an email. An SDK and ‘hacker kit’ are promised so hopefully this could lead to integration with home automation systems, The bulbs will be available in Bayonet cap, Edison Screw and Downlighter form factors and LIFX say it can connect to all country electricity systems from 110V to 260V. check out the video below…
