Available for Pre-Order,NEW Sylvania LIFX Wifi Lamp that will last you 27 Years!

The Smart Phone Controlled Wifi lamp is getting more and more popular with more brands getting their version out on the market. Here at The Led Specialist, we are liking the new addition to the competition. 

The LIFX is a wifi enabled, multi-coloured, energy efficient LED lamp that you can control using your smartphone. This new lamp has come to be through the new and fashionable way of raising funds for startup businesses, crowdfunding. Using the Kickstarter site LIFX raised $1.3m in only six days. It soon became clear that there was real demand for this product in the market. Since being on Kickstarter, LIFX has received a lot of media attention and has been highlighted in such newspapers as the New York Times, Washington Post and The Economist amongst others. It is now being regarded as one of the best new smart home devices and is extremely desirable. 

Inventor, Phil Bosua and his passionate team of developers, engineers, markerting and customer support staff aim to deliver the top of the class in the smart bulb experience and it certainly looks like LIFX is a contender to outshine the others. The team claim that ' LIFX is like going from black and white television to full-colour HD' with a whopping '16 million colours at your fingertips.' It is impressive without a doubt. 

Aswell as the ability to change the colour of your lamps to what seems like every imaginable colour, a simple app update will allow you to wake up naturally each morning with an automatically increasing light and help ease you into blissful sleep with a feature that slowly dims. In addition to the aesthetic and holistic advantages of this lamp, it is also amazingly simple to install; available in traditional bayonet (BC) and edison screw (ES) caps, LIFX can be installed into existing fittings with no need to hire an electrician. LIFX also has a lifetime of up to 40,000 hours, which means if it is in use for 4 hours a day, it will last you a staggering 27 years!

'Bring the Sun Indoors'

New Lighting Company Creates Lighting that Mimics the Sun and Moon

Startup lighting company Sunn is launching an app that controls LED smart lamps to simulate the 24-hour light cycle of the sun and moon. This would deliver incomparable holistic health benefits. 

This app claims to enable you to tell the time 'through subtle changes in colour and brightness', ease your transition into the day, keep you alert whilst working, help you wind you down for bed and eradicate winter blues.

This app will work with Sunn's wall or ceiling mounted plate shaped lamps but these are not yet available, however the app will also work with the Philips LED Lamp. Sunn's website allows consumers to 'pre-order' as the Los Angeles based company is currently crowdfunding its campaign. Crowdfunding is a way for startup companies to raise funds, it is an internet process in which people can donate their money to the company. 

Sunn has stated that, 'We've completed production- quality version of both Sunn lights. This means we've sourced and completed tooling for many of the large components which is typically the largest hurdle in bringing a product to market. We've also completed the first version of the iOS app as well as the cloud-based backend that will support the Sunn app on iOS, Android and web platforms.' 

Sunn has reported that it has organised manufacturers with operations in Europe, Southeast Asia and North America. 

Wired magazine reported that Sunn can help combat depression that afflicts people in the northern hemisphere in the dark of winter, a condition known as Seasonally Affected Disorder (SAD). 

Although white lights already exist to increase productivity, Sunn's lamps claim to offer a kinder and gentler approach to lighting that subtly copies the suns changes throughout the day rather than a concentrated burst of light for a certain period of time. 

Sunn's app can brighten a lamp gradually in the morning to work as an alarm, match lamps to  sunshine at a certain time of location, dim down lighting at bedtime and mimic the moon's glow. 

Companies like Sunn are helping us understand the health benefits of more natural lighting, take a look at their promotion video on their website for more details.
