Just a few days after unveiling its modular Tile lighting panels, LIFX today has unveiled its latest connected lighting system. Dubbed the LIFX Beam, these lights can be arranged in a variety of different shapes on your wall with support for over 16 million colors and integration with your iPhone and HomeKit.
LIFX touts that the Beam offers “cutting edge illumination” for home accent lighting. Included in the $199 Beam Kit are 6 individual Beams, 1 corner connector piece, and a power pack. Each Beam features 10 blended light zones allowing you to choose a wide array of colors.
In terms of size, you’re looking at an individual Beam size of 11.8 x 1.37 x 0.78 inches, for a maximum size of 72.24 x 1.37 x 0.78 inches with the Beam Kit. There’s support for 16 million colors, as well as white. Using the accompanying LIFX app or HomeKit, there’s also dimming support from 1 to 10 percent.
One of the best features of LIFX products is integration with a variety of third-party platforms, including HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT.
