Philips Living Colors

[glire]

I discovered the Philips Living Colors on a shop near home. It looks pretty cool. It costs 149€ (about $200). Did someone try or have it ?

I found a driver that might do the same think in a custom made lamp: http://www.dotlight.de/shop/product_info.php/cPath/263_266/products_id/828

Costs seem reasonable to me. I googled to find more info on the web and found this ebay reseller. Ridiculous price IMO

Ikea also have some color changing LED lamps for 60€ (without remote).

Affordable color LED lamps are coming at home

Like the colour wheel selection, good to see on a consumer level product.

There is a few MR16 sized remote colour changers about , some of Chinese origin with IR control, try ebay, and some RF control:

The Ikea strips and pads arent too bad, not exceptionally bright but at a reasonable cost.

Non remote but versatile RGB controller at a low cost:

Couldn't resist and purchased the Philips.
Sunny day today, so I tested it in the... bathroom
Well, the most cool item is the remote, iPod-like sensitive.

I saw it at Gamma (local DIY) too! I just couldn't resist to touch it and to look at it for a while! Sometimes it's hard to be a LED freak Anyway, it's a very nice product and 150 euro is a quite reasonable price but too much for me
