Phillips launches new iPhone and iPad-controlled LED lighting


Whether any Apple fanboy would admit it or not, there are some great innovations that go on outside the iBubble. One company I've always been impressed with, Phillips, has just launched a range of iOS-controlled lights. "Hue" is a set of lights which can be dimmed or have their color changed, all from within Phillips' app. You can use the app to get the lights to wake you up naturally, concentrate when working or match colors of an image on your device.
Apple stores will be selling "Hue" from tomorrow, October 30th, with starter packs costing around $200/£180. The starter pack contains the Wi-Fi base station and three bulbs. Bulbs cost $59/£49 each. Check out the promo video to learn more:The nerd inside me is infinitely impressed by the possibility of being able to control my home lighting environment from my iPad or iPhone. Just imagine, dimming a light, or changing its color without having to get up! I love it. Although its a tad on the expensive side, I'm a little excited. And, the best part: you don't even have to be in the Wi-Fi network to control the lights. They're web-enabled, meaning you can control them from anywhere you have an internet connection.

That is seriously cool.
Philips Hue supports up to 50 bulbs, integrates with both iOS and Android devices and offers up to 80 percent less power than a traditional bulb (lasting as long as 15 years or 15,000 burning hours).It will be available from $199, with additional bulbs costing $59.Philips will begin selling its high-tech Hue LED light bulbs exclusively in Apple stores from tomorrow. Hue light bulbs are fully customizable, and offer up a choice of 16 million colors by combining three LEDs — one green, one red, and one blue — inside each bulb. They're being marketed as energy-efficient alternatives to regular light bulbs, with brightness on par with a traditional 50W bulb with a maximum power draw of just 8.5W.Better still, that update has a video showing just how to reverse engineer an apple iphone Charger and make your personal power bank.Essentially, Minty Boost could supply the 500 milliamps that older versions from the iPhone necessary to charge, however the 3GS appeared to want more: a complete amp of juice, a lot more than two AA batteries could provide. But energy efficiency is just one plus of the Hue system; the main selling-point is the extreme level of customization available. Buyers will be able to fine-tune their lighting through an iOS app or on their computer via Philips' website. An Android version of the companion app will be launching in December.The system is sold as a $199 starter pack comprising 3 LED bulbs and a bridge that connects to your router. Once you're all set up, you'll be able to set the color of each bulb individually, or choose from one of four templates that Philips has chosen. These range from a self-explanatory "Reading" preset to "Energize" mode, which is supposed to keep you alert and wide awake.
