lightLight bulbs have lit our world for centuries.  Sadly, the design and efficiency of the light bulb was heavily flawed.   With new environmental issues brought up in the past two decades, new light bulbs are being produced to become more energy and cost efficient.   New and more efficient light bulbs have been produced, but a small company called LIFX, thinks it can do a lot better than all the other bulbs designs.

LED technology is on the trend of becoming the new light bulb, with its high energy efficiency and longer lifespan.  LIFX is taking that LED technology and adding a Wi-Fi and RGB light.  This is the world’s first “smart” light-bulb and it can be fully controlled by your iPhone or Android phone.  Dim or turn on/off the lights or even change the color of the light bulb all on your phone.  LED is LIFX choice for its light bulb, because of its longer life span and its energy consumption.  One LIFX bulb consumes about a tenth of the power of a normal light bulb, but still have lumens equivalent of a 60W incandescent bulb.

The tech behind the LIFX bulb gives consumers a money saving and environmental safe product.  LIFX went on Kickstarter in September 2012 and raised over $1.3 million for funding in around 6 days.  The amount of support already gives LIFX a huge start to becoming an innovative startup to supplying the world with efficient light bulbs.

LIFX is on its way to building a potential bulb that will be a standard in the energy industry.  Right now, LIFX is taking in pre-orders for its second batch of LED bulbs and you get a discount the more you buy altogether.  A review of the LIFX bulb will be out later.  As of now, the world will wait to be a better lit up and environmental sound place to be.

Pre-order the next batch of LIFX bulbs or see what LIFX is up to.
