apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


From Living Room to Psychedelic Pussycat Swingers Club?

111108_tf_colorlight.jpgWe have to admit that if we had a time-travel fantasy, our destination would be 1960's London as portrayed in the Austin Powers films, complete with mod colorblock dresses, go-go boots, men with awful teeth, cars decorated with the union jack and lots and lots of... colors. To get a start on turning our living room into our own private Psychedelic Pussycat Swingers Club, we'll start with a bunch of these groovy remote-controlled multi-colored lightbulbs...

 
 

This LED color-changing light bulb works in any standard incandescent socket and comes with a wireless remote for switching between a palette of RGB colors a graphic designer would envy. Available at Chinavasion Electronics.

We have to admit that changing a single standard-fitting light bulb's color by remote control is something we haven't seen much of. But what a panty dropper it would be to switch your media cabinet instantly from white light to something blue or violet to set the mood! Yeah, baby!

Let me be the first to compliment on the witty use of the phrase 'panty dropper' before some uptight something or other complains. I am laughing all alone at my desk right now. Oh and LED lighting is the coolest thing ever. I am so glad to see something green and innovative start hitting the consumer market.

This seems like fun, but shouldn't you be able to get a set of bulbs all controlled by one remote? They don't seem to sell them in that configuration.
