Very cool - now with Nest and these, I do not need to touch anything with a switch, as it relates to my lighting and heating/ac. So what's left on the walls? Outlets, doorbell, and ceiling fans switches.
Next good idea - make this for ceiling fans or make this for doorbells where you get a fax, a tweet, an email, a phone call, a text and an facebook alert when someone approaches your door. We could call it Woof.

only diff is it has a remote instead of using your phone

Curious how you allow access for you router to each bulb and group bulbs to each room.

They'll never be able to keep up with demand unless they sell it to GE or someone.

Control everything you own from your phone. Never need to take your eyes off your phone ever again.

this would be amazing to hack into your neighbour's unsecured wifi and set their lights to strobe/discotech mode.

what kinda of background music is that? It deserves its own genre of sound. You'd often hear late at night on an infomercials.

multi-coloured light bulbs are the tie-dyed shirts of the luminare sector.

I've only backed 2 kickstarts, one was the giant Lionel Richie head to be built and drive across America to his hometown. That was an artistic project of a friend and it didn't reach the goal.
The other one is this and I'm pretty sure it will be awesome:

And I tend to believe him. One of our clients is in the process of rolling out assembly on LED fluorescent tube replacements. It's been an arduous year for them... and production of lighting bulbs / fixtures in the USA is no joke. This company constantly references SWITCH for two reasons - 1) they think they're marketing geniuses 2) they think the product is laughably bad and will never make it to market.
The lighting industry is brutal. No amount of clever / gimmicky marketing can prepare these start-ups for the actual amount of regulation they have to deal with when manufacturing those things.

This is brilliant useless fluff, perfect for the swooning designery crowd.
