Philips hue

Philips Hue

Philips light bulbs capable of producing 16 million colors and 90 shades of white, up to 50 of them controllable via WiFi from a single control point. Can program them to change colors over the course of the day. Not cheap at $59 a bulb but oh so dope.

Unfortunately this is useless for designers that need to see accurate colours. I also tried it when doing non designy things as well, but I just don't like it.

Yeah, I know, pretty gay, but it's only a 4 month exclusive.

Also relevant, I've done business with these people and they're groovy:

It's only 2 clicks to turn it off when you're doing colour sensitive stuff

I only get down when it's one click.

Doesn't somebody had a patent on one click? Surprised nobody has a patent on two click technology, I might look into that.

I just paid a friend in the states to send two of these to me. Looks really good and I already have tonnes of ideas about what I could do with it.

Also, I seem to be developing a special place in my heart for this. Same last name and all.

Update?

 

[BlogHue]

Update?

She sent it on the 15th of this month. So I should get be getting it in a week or two.

Also, realized later in the stage that I will have to buy an iPhone or an iPad to get this shit to work. Fuck that.

Funny you asked for an update today, I saw this in action at a potential client I was canvassing, just yesterday (an event company). Does look good.

I'm going to guess that when the Apple exclusive runs out you'll see Android and Windows apps released.
