When you start thinking about lighting for rooms within your home, you soon realise that one light will not cover all situations. Rooms have many functions and finding the right lighting to suit often involves compromise, or a series of lights with varying purposes. Wall lights, free standing lamps, down lights, and dimming switches are often juggled to cater for all possible scenarios – and even then may involve compromises.
The new Fluxo Smart Lamp, however, may have made lighting compromises a thing of the past.
The Fluxo Smart Lamp is the latest lighting innovation to take advantage of modern “App” technology. This ingenious single light can perform multiple functions at a touch of a button. It can be very bright (2800 lumen output) or offer soft lighting to suit your mood.

Versatile Lighting
The crowd-funded lamp is not just another light bulb, but rather a collection of three hundred coloured and white LED lights that are easily controlled and manipulated by sliding your finger across a representation of the Fluxo Smart Lamp on your App screen. This results in amazing versatility and flexibility with lighting colour, mood, and direction.
Its creators say that there is simply no situation that the Fluxo Smart Lamp cannot cater for. Light can quickly and easily be directed in various colours and intensities to any part of a room.
It doesn’t matter if you are entertaining a crowd, watching a movie, reading a book or setting the mood for an intimate evening, the Fluxo Smart Lamp can be programmed to give you the exact lighting you require from one single source. You can even have all the light concentrated in half the room.
Sure, with an initial retail price of around four hundred dollars, the cost at this time is on the high side, but the flexibility and possibilities that this new technology can bring, make the Fluxo Smart Lamp a lighting innovation that looks like it is here to stay.
Smart Adaptive Lighting
The lamp is multi functional, but it’s also movement sensitive and can be programmed to switch on and off as you enter and leave the room. The genius of App technology also enables it to “remember” your preferred lighting settings allowing you to switch between them as required. It is envisaged that eventually the lamp will be able to adapt to your behaviour and rotate different light settings throughout the day.
The Fluxo Smart Lamp is currently seeking funding through crowd sourcing and raised $130,000 through Kickstarter on day one. That leaves about $54,000 left for them to raise to make the project viable – for full scale production and delivery to commence. Investors in the Fluxo Smart Lamp will see delivery of these new lamps in August of 2016.
