LightFreq is the name of a new product seeking funding on Kickstarter that describes itself as a “genius multi-functioning HD audio light bulb that offers an audio system, wake-up mode, phone alerts, intercom,” and other features. The light bulb is supposed to fit any regular light fitting and lamp and wirelessly connect with a smartphone in order for users to customize their LightFreq experience via a special app.
The light bulb offers HD Audio that’s supposedly better than Apple’s Beats Pills audio and lets users enjoy stereo music when two LightFreqs are connected.
When it comes to notifications, the device will let users assign a certain color to different types of notifications, and the lightbulb will blink in that specified color when a new notification comes in.
The device can also be used for communication purposes in Intercom mode, but also in alarm mode. The device also has a neat proximity feature that will turn lights on and off depending on your relative position to a room.
LightFreq needs to raise $50,000 to become reality, and has 30 days to do it, with the cheapest device available at just $55 via Kickstarter – a pair of LightFreqs costs $125. Once the project is funded, LightFreq light bulbs will start shipping in February 2015.

August 5, 2014 – Atlanta, Georgia— Today LightFreq launches on crowd-funding site Kickstarter. An electrifying marriage of vision and sound, LightFreq is set to revolutionize the way we light our living spaces, and is offering some great rewards to backers, with Early Bird packages available from $55.
Anyone can use LightFreq for their home – it fits in any standard light fixture, so simply swap your regular light bulb for a world of light and music at your fingertips. LightFreq takes the elements of a light bulb, HD music player, dimmer switches and more, and wraps them up into one unique space saving item, whilst creating a totally customizable environment for your home or office. All functions of the LightFreq can work independently; so whether you just want light, just want sound, or if you want to create a fully immersive environment, the LightFreq has all options covered in one bulb.
An easy-to-use companion app allows anyone to control their surroundings through the LightFreq bulb. From your smart device you can control the level of light, volume of sound, and even the precise hue and color the LightFreq produces. In addition, LightFreq can adapt its color, speed and mood to the genre of music you chose to play through it, with over 16million color options and combinations available. So, whether you’d like a soothing cool blue hue to calm you post work, or purple to get the party started, LightFreq offers total mood stimulation at the touch of an app.
Even without the companion app, anyone can still stream their music to the LightFreq via Bluetooth. So however you choose your tunes, LightFreq has you covered and colored.
