Really excited to be showing the world what we've been building. Our focus has been on making the smart home accessible to renters in major cities, and people who live in smaller spaces. What we've created is a beautiful lighting and audio experience that everyone can use. We feel this is the best way to introduce the masses to the smart home and are sure you'll love it. Really excited to hear what people think and answer any questions ya'll might have

@shaun_springer very interested in hearing how you conjured up the original idea! light-bulb moment?
Shaun Springer
@dannyfiorentini I used to work at Crestron Electronics but couldn't really use the products I was making as they focused on wealthy homeowners. My main requirements were distributed audio and dimmable lighting, so I made a light bulb with a speaker in it!

@shaun_springer nice one mate!

Wait, what happens when the light bulb dies?
Shaun Springer
@benjaminnetter The bulb is an LED light bulb, and so it lasts for 12-15 years :)

Super-simple, smart, elegant design. Shaun, I remember when you first showed me this a year ago. Awesome to see this finally come to light (see what I did there?)

Yes! I've been needing something like this for my bathroom since I don't have an outlet

Does the bulb have to be on for AirPlay? And what's the estimated life?
Shaun Springer
@batraatin the light switch has to be on for it to have power, but the light itself can be off. It'll last between 12 and 15 years as the lights are LEDs

Got it! Thanks @shaun_springer! Hope you start add international shipping soon...

How fast does it connect over AirPlay? I've seen some speakers connect embarrassingly slow which makes me hesitant and made me a believer in Bluetooth over AirPlay.
Shaun Springer
@mattryanharris from power on to the time it connects is 3-5 seconds. Initial setup takes about 20-30 seconds.
