LIFX smart LED bulbs add another member to smart appliances

When Google acquired the smart home device manufacturer Nest, a smart home appliance application battle against Apple's cross-industry smart home platform HomeKit, a smart home appliance war has quietly launched, both parties are actively seeking smart home appliances developers to join their own camp. The Google and Nest Day front-ends come out with the WorksWithNest developer program, which provides a developer software development kit (SDK) to create smart home devices. Nest's partners are quite successful. In addition to Mercedes-Benz and Whirpool, it is the smart LED bulb startup LIFX that recently received Sequoia Capital's $12 million financing. Have a topic.

For example, if NestProtect detects smoke or excessive carbon monoxide, LIFX smart LED bulb will flash red warning; when the owner is traveling or traveling, LIFX bulb will light up from time to time instead of switching for a period of time every day. The sight of someone in the house. In addition, the characteristics of the LIFX smart LED bulb itself are often compared with Philips' Hue networked smart LED bulbs. Like Hue, LIFX uses a smartphone to download applications that control lamp switching, brightness, color and context conversion over a wireless network. The difference is that Hue needs to install a ZigBee bridge to connect the home router, so that the device and the light bulb can be transmitted through the mesh network; LIFX can directly control the remote control of the smart phone through Wi-Fi. Hue networked intelligent LED bulb internal LIFX smart LED bulb inside according to CNET anatomy LIFX and Hue two smart LED bulbs, you can clearly see Hue with two blue, four red and five Lime green LED; and LIFX used The number of LEDs is actually three times that of Hue, but its power and light effect are better. Both must be equipped with a heat sink to increase the weight of the bulb, so LIFX weighs 288g, and the bulb is 6.5cm in diameter and 13.5cm in height, which is not suitable for small lamps. The LIFX tag has a service life of up to 40,000 hours and a lighting output of 1,017 lm, which is slightly better than Hue's life of 15,000 hours and a lighting output of 600 lm. However, if you actually compare the LIFX17W bulb and the Hue9W bulb, the luminous efficiency of the two is almost the same, about 60lm per watt, and LIFX wins slightly. However, this is because of the mixed color LED, that is, the LED with different colors to mix the color of the light, the light quality is good, but the overall efficiency is not higher than the general market white light LED bulb, yellow LED bulb light efficiency. Therefore, this value is not satisfactory, but it is a good choice for the main lighting, with intelligent networking function to control. The industry is generally optimistic about the future smart LED bulb market, and the number of manufacturers investing in development has also increased. The intelligent LED bulb is simple and convenient to operate, and the price is higher than that of other smart home appliances. The consumer acceptance is relatively higher than that of the smarter appliances with higher prices. It can be used as an entry product for smart home appliances, and the future development is quite predictable. Driven by Nest and Apple HomeKit, I believe that more vendors will join the battlefield in the future, providing various solutions and platforms to expand the market visibility of this industry.
