How smart will your Xmas tree be this year?
Osram’s Lightify light chain enables smartphone control of LED lighting for Christmas trees.
The controllable light chains are a component in the Lightify lighting system that enables users to exploit the wide-ranging options provided by light. Once installed, brightness and colour tones can be modified with the smartphone app. After Christmas, the chains can then be used in the garden, either for winter barbecues or in the form of ‘Garden Spots’ during summer evenings to bathe paths and flower beds in coloured light.
The controllable light chains have been made possible with LED technology, enabling not only almost unlimited colour variations but also significant savings in power costs – one LED light chain consumes up to 97% less power than its incandescent lamp equivalent. The German Energy Agency (dena) has calculated that more than 30 euros in electricity costs are saved by upgrading just a single tree.
