LIFX introduces affordable smart bulb

2/20/2018

LIFX, maker of the Kickstarter-funded smart bulb, has added a new value bulb to its Wi-Fi-enabled product offering.


The White 800 can emit light ranging from rich warm to cool white, controllable via a mobile app.


It also features 890 lumens (a 60-watt equivalent), and it comes priced at $39.99 retail.


"You no longer need to decide if your next energy-efficient light should be warm or cool white," said LIFX CEO Marc Alexander. "You can now have both - and every tone in between from rich warm to cool whites."


As with other LIFX products, the White 800 features "Powered by LIFX" software and Cloud, which enables users to control the light from anywhere in the world. It also connects the light with services like weather, updates, calendars and social networks.


"The Internet of Things connects devices in your home," said Alexander. "Your TV dims your lights when the movie starts, PC games adjust room lighting in real-time to match gameplay. Even your appliances can alert you by subtly blinking a light bulb in a distant room."
