If you lived in Vanuatu you wouldn't need lights to simulate the ocean being in your living room. :/
I'm sure there are a few places like that. But where I am if I want to simulate being in the ocean I have to use my lights to do it.
Oh I think they're pretty cool, and if someone wants to give me some I'm all for it.
But a hundred and eighty quid for 3 bulbs?! The tech inside inside them is so basic. An MCU, a controllable RGB LED and a wifi dongle. I could make one with no economies of scale and including many unnecessary parts for what, like ten quid?
Oh I agree that they are over priced, but really, what isn't these days? Mine has a bridge that you can send commands to to control them.
A bridge? Ah well, totally worth it then. (nod)
The only LEDs I have are the colour changing strip under the bridging units in the bedroom. The rest are a mix of CFLs and halogens. In the kitchen I have a Phillips Tornado CFL which is definitely brighter than a standard 60W bulb. I had troube finding high lumen CFLs/LEDs when I last looked.
How about one of
these, only £109
:O
So you're willing to pay over the odds so you can feel what it's like to be an impoverished Pacific islander at the mercy of global warming? Can I do your accounts?
What do you do with impoverished Pacific islanders when you don't want them any more?
