hey you know what's rad? skylights. try em out ;p
tho, s'pose it'll be cool to some day yell out: "House! Control C, Control V! Um.. house? Open the pod bay doors, house!"

I'm sorry, phanbouy; I can't do that.

Hm, Engadget HQ. Didn't realize until now there was such a thing.
I demand a gallery! :)
ByronGman @ Mar 3rd 2008 7:26PM
Me too.
Of course, I'm guessing that the reason Engadget doesn't see the prospect in this type of technology is that their offices consist of a basement with one of those old school hanging light bulbs.

This would be used for video conferencing I assume? And as such could probably be pretty cool...

This is perfect!!!!!I have diminished vision and what really bothers me is changes in light. So when I walk into a dimly lit room after being in normal light for a while, I am temporarily blinded. I LOVE this idea.
Noc @ Mar 3rd 2008 7:25PM
oooooooo...you said THE naughty word....
anyone else think LOL is bad?

Wow, an iPhone reference in a interior lighting post.
John @ Mar 3rd 2008 10:23PM
The reference being, we're going to have copy and paste lighting before we have freaking text copy and paste on an iPhone.
Gilbert Tang @ Mar 3rd 2008 8:00PM
I absolutely adore this idea.
ethana2 @ Mar 3rd 2008 8:11PM
Hey, using tri-color LED's for lighting just /might/ be cheaper than repainting your walls every time your color preferences change.
'bout frigging time.
Gilbert Tang @ Mar 3rd 2008 8:26PM
It's genius. And it makes so much sense for art lovers, photographers, and people who are more sensitive (or even privy) to certain temperatures of light than others.
mrpysnik @ Mar 3rd 2008 8:25PM
im no artist, but this might be good in a gallery for a large installation that needs to be lit the same over its whole length. just a thought.
Only morons take this seriously. @ Mar 3rd 2008 8:25PM
This makes sense for high end retail, where designers would know exactly how their goods would look in 1,000 different showrooms. I am thinking of fashion in particular.

I personally prefer each room in my house having different lighting and a different feel. This would probably be more suitable for office/retail places.

...and in a related announcement GE has now introduced DRM light bulbs so Phillips can't "copy and paste" their "light attributes".
