Smart LED Bulb Said to Automatically Adjust to Match Sun's Patterns
Smart Home company Twist Home bowed the Twist Light, what it calls a “biologically correct” LED light bulb ($149 for a two-pack) that mimics the sun’s natural patterns by adjusting white and yellow light. The company also began selling the Twist Speaker ($149 for two) that combines an auto-adjusting LED bulb with an AirPlay speaker. The bulb delivers 800 lumens using 10 watts, rated to 12-15 years of operation. More features can be added in the future via a firmware update pushed over Wi-Fi, said the company. The bulb is Bluetooth Low Energy-enabled. Users can control light color, brightness, night light mode, and other features from the Twist app, and they can stream music directly from a music service to the Twist Speaker, it said. Launch partner Thrive Global will demonstrate the Twist products Dec. 1-Jan. 15 at a New York pop-up store located at 419 Broome St., 10 a.m.-7 p.m. daily.
