Sony introduces a LED light bulb Bluetooth speaker combo

by Gareth Mankoo

It simply goes by the name, LED Light Bulb Speaker but does a lot more than just fill a product catalog. Sony’s newest release is something we’ve been wondering about but have never seen to fulfilment. This cool LED light bulb is also a Bluetooth speaker. It screws into a bulb socket and offers illumination with the help of a 360-lumen bulb. The audio can be controlled using a smartphone app that not only handles playback and volume but also helps regulate the brightness of the bulb. How cool is that! You could also grab a hold of the dedicated remote that works when paired with the device over NFC. While the promo video shows mushy affairs as the perfect time to play it, I would choose to put the bulb in my shower or even better, in my gloomy closet. The Sony LED Light Bulb Speaker will arrive in Japan by May 23rd for 23,880 Yen or $199. [Source – The Verge]
