The second generation of ilumi Smartbulbs was funded through Kickstarter in August and the ilumi A19 and BR30 Smartbulbs are now available at Best Buy and ilumi.co. Backed by Mark Cuban and funded through Shark Tank, ilumi’s connected smart lighting products help users improve sleep, complement moods, and enhance their lifestyle to enjoy better lighting for better living.
The bulbs are controlled by an iOS or Android app and the simple setup app allows users to set up various features and routines including:
- Light Your Routine – Schedule a sunrise. Dine in candlelight. Shake your phone for a nightlight.
- Wellness Lighting – Tune your body’s natural rhythm by replicating the sun’s daily color cycle. Namaste.
- Detect Your Presence – Sensing your phone, your lights can turn on & off without hitting a switch.
- Vacation – Hey, you’re home! Or are you? Have your lights turn on & off randomly while you’re away.
- Music’s New Best Friend – Sync your music and watch your Smartbulbs move to the beat of your fancy dancing feet.
The ilumi A19 Smartbulb features a natural dome structure for a wider dispersion angle to fit everyday standard lamps, pendants, fans or general lighting fixtures. It is also packed with more than 800 lumens (equivalent to 60W incandescent) at a category best efficiency of 10 watts of power. The ilumi BR30 Flood Smartbulb is best for use in overhead, recessed and track lighting and delivers more than 1100 lumens (equivalent to 85W incandescent) at an efficient 15 watts of power. Additionally, the All New ilumi Smartbulbs include ilumi’s patented HyperLux® LED technology that delivers the brightest whites and richest saturated colors.
ilumi features some unique differences from other Smartbulbs including:
- Unique long-rate Bluetooth Mesh connectivity allows users to pair up to 50 bulbs with a 150 ft. range sans bridges, hubs or routers. Unlike competitors that can only pair up to 10 bulbs, ilumi is capable of scaling an entire home with the best lighting possible
- Intuitive mobile application provides a guided and simple personalized setup featuring exciting experiences that replicate the body’s natural circadian rhythm; detect presence; or light a user’s daily routine based on their preference; automatically turn lights on while a user is on vacation; and sync to music playlists
- Each ilumi Smartbulb lasts up to 20 years and is six times more energy efficient than an equivalent incandescent light bulb
The bulbs are available for $59.99 and $69.99 depending on model. Check back soon for our full review here at Techaeris.
