The Phillips Hue light bulb, introduced in 2012, uses the decade's old LED technology combined with wireless internet and a smartphone application to totally revolutionize your home lighting experience. Hue moves lighting from a fact of life to a personally, customizable experience, all the while using your current light fixtures. Hue uses LED lights capable of emitting virtually every color of the spectrum, a bridge to connect the bulb(s) (maximum of 50 bulbs per bridge) to the mobile application, the mobile application itself, and an online portal to allow users to customize their lighting experience.
Hue doesn't simply allow users to select light color and brightness, it allows users to improve their home security, better manage their time, improve their health, and create the perfect mood. Proper lighting is often sighted as a primary home burglary deterrent and Hue's ability to be turned on via the online portal, irrespective of where the owner is in the world, can help prevent burglary by remotely turning on lights before you arrive home at night. Hue's customizability can will replace your alarm clock. Hue users are no longer subject to often frighteningly loud noises to wake up in the morning, instead the Hue can be set to illuminate a natural color that mimics natural sunlight in the morning as well as colors that encourage one to fall asleep at night. Hue's internet connectivity can notify you of weather conditions by changing the color and even flashing the lights to represent weather conditions outside. Hue's understanding of lighting can improve your home theatre by constantly changing the lighting as your television moves from scene to scene. Wish you could relive that time on the beach in the Bahamas or that romantic dinner in Italy, upload the picture to your mobile app and Hue will adjust the lighting, immediately bringing you back to those times.
In short, the Hue light bulb will allow users to move lighting from a fact of life to an experience as unique as seeing a play at the theatre or a movie at their local cinema. The Hue light bulb would serve as a thermostat for users' home lighting as it constantly reacts to changes inside and outside of the room and to manual prompts from the Hue Lighting app. The internet of things does indeed include home lighting.
The hue light bulb has so many great features. Hue light bulb is able to dim, flash, and pulse. User's of Hue light bulb can control there mood by changing the light bulb color. It is amazing how one can change the color of the light bulb from an app.
ReplyDeleteI think the hue light bulb is one bullet that kills two or more birds at once. Apart from the experience of switching on and off the lights, it can also serve as home security. Take for instance; if I want to travel but I still want people to think that there is someone at home, I can actually control my lights from wherever place through the application in my phone. That way, my house can stay active because I can light on the lights in the evening and switch them off in the morning.
ReplyDeleteApart from that, it also saves the hustle of walking to switch. Imagine if a handicapped person is at home alone and cannot reach the switches of the lights, he/she can actually use the smartphone to control the lighting. So technology actually improves the way we live.
