Indiegogo-Backed Smart Home Bulb Company Seeks Input for Stretch-Goal Effort

An Indiegogo-backed smart bulb project, Qube, sought additional funding Tuesday as part of a stretch-goal effort to add features to its Wi-Fi bulb. The color-changing Qube bulb is to ship to early adopters in April and general buyers in June. Qube solicited additional feedback from backers to provide their “dream feature” that will be part of stretch goals to be announced soon. Leading stretch goals so far include an alarm mode with fast red blinking lights, Christmas and other festive holiday mood lighting, an away mode to simulate occupancy, Apple HomeKit integration, increased light output to 1,000 lumens and a circadian clock to coordinate lighting with sunrise and sunset, the company said. The project is funded at $143,313 by 1,360 backers.
