I have really fond memories of power cuts when I was a kid, my dad would come out of the office, my teenage sister would creep out of her bedroom and mum would light lots of candles, make some hot chocolate on the stove and we would play cards, wonderful. Mum however remembers it rather differently, my dad tripping over his bag in the kitchen, my sister panicking because she hated the dark and wax melting all over the coffee table, not so wonderful.

I love the idea of this bulb, not only is it practical but it is really good fun, it converts your lighting appliance into an intelligent piece of equipment that can be controlled in a number of different ways with just the touch of your smart phone.
