If it can last for long time, I wouldn't mind paying 70$ for a few years. But it has to able to sustain power surges and so on, and I doubt it will. And it also looks pretty underpowered compared to regular light bulb, so I'd need several of these just to light the living room. Meh.

So every light bulb has it's own wifi mini network or what? I mean, what if someone else comes along with the app for this, they can also play with your lights? Or are they all specifically password protected?
I can see kids pranking ppl in their own homes, changing their settings from outside of the house
I know that kids did that with those remote control watches  That was fun, like 10ish years ago

there are people with "smart homes" out there and that doesn't happen. lol. and remi would need to spend a shit load on plane tickets to do that. lol.
this is pretty cool. only bit that interests me is the colour changing. pretty bad ass.
a lot cheaper than http://www.smarthome.com/2477DH/SwitchLinc-INSTEON-Remote-Control-Dimmer-Dual-Band-High-Wattage-White/p.aspx and with more features.

I cant. Modern fixtures have replaced the conventional lights, such as par can, in many ways already, so no gels needed. Often when conventional is used still, it is to get that warm fussy light. So led would go away anyway.
Led market in proffesionall lighting is way above LIFX.
As an example, I went on tour with these this summer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=PKBiIK7Yr1E
Can the app do cuestacks, presets, effects, faders, pallets, etc, etc as a real light table? Can the app talk to any light? What good is wifi when rest of bussiness uses dmx protocol? Obviously those bulbs can only be talked to with only that app. Limited. For 50$ you can get a led can that you can adress/standalone/whatever which can do everything the LIFX bulb can do.
For household it might be ok. Personally I stick with normal bulbs.

I redid my house will %100 LED bulbs because i was so sick and tired of changing them. The Phillips versions came with a 5 year warranty. But are designed to last 20+ years.
