LightFreq’s Connected Bulbs Deliver Audio Plus Visuals

If you’re having trouble choosing whether to buy a connected lightbulb or a Bluetooth speaker then points your eyes at this Kickstarter project: LightFreq combines an app-controlled lightbulb with a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connected speaker so you can have your visual cake and consume some audio too.

The built-in speaker means the bulb can play music streamed via Bluetooth (it’s aiming to streams some services via Wi-Fi too — currently Rhapsody, Napster, TuneIn and SomaFM). It’s also being designed to function as an intercom, so users will be able to speak through a LightFreq-enabled light-fitting in a particular room via the companion app. That won’t be at all weird.
