Researchers at Boston University’s College of Engineering have an revolutionary idea, which they’re now designing a new communication system that is made up of light bulbs for transmitting your data.
The light bulbs are those low-powered LEDs, which could utilize an optical communication system that transmits your data wirelessly. It works by having the LEDs switching rapidly on and off, as if sending various optical communication pulses and patterns that carry your data. Each light bulb will be a network entry point by itself which can transmit data at speeds of 1 to 10 Mbps.
This kind of optical communication system definitely comes in handy. As there isn’t a need to install additional network equipments and wiring in order for your computers to communicate with each other in an office or a house. Since we all need light bulbs to keep our rooms brightly lit, it’s definitely a much handier system to have.
I assume the light bulbs will be switching very rapidly which human eyes are hard to detect the changing of the lights. So, it shall work exactly the same as a normal light bulb as well as keeping our computers connected.
The light-bulb network is said to be more secure than the current RF techniques as it requires linked devices be in line-of-sight and it draws comparatively low energy than conventional WiFi radios. Imagine, when you walk in a room and flip the switch of wall light, and your iPhone, TV, radio, and other gadgets could all communicate to each other and you.

We need to be exposed to certain amount of lights a day in order to stay healthy and in good mood. For those who always keep themselves in darkness, having very low exposure to lights will lead to develop depressions like winter blues and cabin fever.
Exposure to lights here doesn’t mean you need to be exposed to sunlights directly. You can simply point a lamp at your face, that will give you certain amount of lights. But, it’s definitely not a pleasant feeling for having to point a lamp on your own face as it simply blinds you from seeing other things for a moment.
Now, thanks to Philips, which they’ve just released a handy gadget, called the goLITE, which emits soft and pleasant blue lights that our body needs. Our body responds best to certain wavelengths of light. The goLITE simply emits the suitable wavelengths that our body needs. It uses optimal frequency blue LEDs to deliver the most positive effect on the body.
The light from the goLITE is actually not weak, but it is okay to human eyes, which gives little bit of visual imprint when you glance away from it. It’s certainly much better than having a lamp shining on your face that most likely blinds you for a short while. The light emitted by goLITE will give you the feeling like sunshine in winter.
The device is also equipped with a back lit touchscreen which can be used to adjust the light intensity, set timer or alarm clock, and it can be used as a desktop clock when it’s not used to shine the blue light. There is also a magnetic stand on the back that keeps this unit up on your desk.

A motion-sensing light bulb is handy, which turns on itself when motion is detected. While you’re stepping into a room with your hands full of gadgets, you’ll have no extra hand to reach the light switch. So, it’s great that this light bulb senses your presence and turns itself on.
Here comes a screw-in motion-sensing light bulb adapter, which turns any of your standard light bulbs into a motion-sensing one. When you enter a room, it’ll turn on automatically, and turn off when you leave. Just screw the adapter into the empty socket, screw the light bulb into the adapter and turn the switch back to on. There is no wiring work involved for fixing this.
The motion sensor is able to detect movement in all directions for up to 5 meter. The little downside is its on-time duration is only 5-100 seconds and you’re not able to override it.
