Smart LED Lights Fun to Play With

A few weeks ago we posted a story about smart, colored LED holiday lights that can be controlled via a smartphone. Now theres another smartphone controllable (iPhone or Android) option, and this one from Rigado, called Lumenplay, comes with apps that let you play games with your lights, dance with your lights and personalize them to the max.

For example, using the Rigado Lumenplay mobile app, you can touch a color wheel to select a color for each light on a 10- or 20-foot strand then choose a special effect that alters the speed, direction and pattern of the lights. Play a song from your iTunes library and the lights will pulse with the beat.

When youre not sure what to do let the app randomly choose colors for yougood for games like Twister or as a timer for Charades.

The mobile app offers other games, too, like a version of Simon Says where you follow then replay the pattern of the lights.

As many as 17 strands can be linked together so theres plenty to wrap around a Christmas tree, deck or the gutters of your house. The strands come with strawberry-shaped bulb covers, which can be changed to stars, discs or balls to suit the occasion. Plus, they are very energy efficient, boasting a lifespan of 20,000 hours per light. They use very little electricity, costing less than $1 to operate for six hours a day, 90 days a year, according to Rigado.

Rigado hopes to deliver Lumenplay in time for the Christmas season through a crowdfunding campaign that launched in June at CE Week in New York City. Once funding has been secured a variety of different packages are expected to be available, ranging in price from around $90 to $640 for enough lights (one 10-foot strand and five 20-foot strands) to trim a medium-size Christmas tree, the front door and gutter.
