LightFreq: The Portable Party

As a traveler, you want to experience as much as possible. And sometimes, what you really want is to experience throwing a beastly, impromptu party inside your hotel room. Enter LightFreq, the sleekest and smartest light bulb ever created by man. Its energy-efficient, L.E.D. changes into more than 16 million colors to the beat of whatever music you play through its built-in (and loud) HD-audio speaker, all while maintaining the size of a standard light bulb.

 

And the LightFreq not only sounds clear and looks beautiful; it’s rather intelligent, too.

It communicates with your smart devices and streams music via Bluetooth and WiFi, and the accompanying free app (compatible with both iOS and Android) unlocks all kinds of amazing, lifestyle-changing functions — such as combined light and sound notifications and alarms, intercom, whole-house audio and party modes — which may just forever alter the way you use a light bulb and your smart device.

 

Having raised more than $275,000 from the more than 1,650 backers of their 2014 Kickstarter campaign, the creators of the LightFreq found the perfect marriage of light and sound with their device.It’s super lightweight and durable, packs up and transports easily and fits in every standard light socket. To see how just easy and quick it is to get the party started with LightFreq, check out this party mode demo video, shot in the W Hotel in Atlanta, the city where the creators designed this incredible piece of technology.

 

While their Kickstarter campaign was live, a single LightFreq was selling for $70. But now that it ended successfully, these super-cool light bulbs likely won’t be available on the retail market until March 2015, and at a higher cost. But stay tuned on the company website, as they will surely be heading to market soon and spreading the light and sound of LightFreq all over every single town.
