I dunno guys I was just going to use mine as a night light. That's cool too right?

We've backed for 2 battery powered ones, and plan on doing that, as well as an alarm clock that will integrate with our lifx backing.

that way the bathroom light can start at 20% when I touch the light when i get up and fade up over a few minutes to 100% while I hate the world a little less during that time in the morning when I get up.

I'm not a morning person.

I need to buy 6 for my brother who has imagined an amazing scenario for his music room. Then I can begin to think about how many I want, and where I shall use them.

There are other similar projects, however the advantage of the Light is that it can exist as a client AND stand-alone server, controlling other lights - including other 'Internet-of-Things'

It can certainly do that; but it can do a lot more.

An awesome project! The possibilities are pretty amazing. For me it has the potential to be and do so much.

I really want to have these all thru the house. Control of ambient light it one thing but this is even better. Millions of colours. All controlled from my iDevices.

Hey, I'm going to control them via my Android devices... It's multi platform, which is great :)

I've backed it. I'm getting a couple, I'm thinking at least 3, to put into my local coworking space for people to hack on and come up with stuff I'd never think of.

Here's an idea - link it to your performance monitoring software of choice, and have it colour-coded to show the usage of your cluster nodes in real time. How cool would that be?!
