Change light hues with your smartphone
Last year, an international electronics giant stunned everyone with its Wi-Fi controllable smart LED bulbs. Now, a Haryana-based light company, FIEM, has developed a local solution that can be controlled via Bluetooth on your smartphone. “Bluetooth is more common than Wi-Fi, so we decided to create our own smart LED solution that could be used by anyone in the country,” says S Narayanan, head, commercial and international operations, FIEM. The smart bulb, called X-Light comes with an app (available on App Store for iOS devices, and Android will be released soon) that allows one to control the light intensity, schedule on and off time, change the colour of the light as well as play games. Hosting an in-house party? Turn on the music feature, and it will change colours as per the ambient sound. You can also use the app to change the intensity of the light.
