According to Philips, the consumer electronics giant, it has pushed a kind of wireless- and Internet-addressable LED light bulbs called "hue" that consumers can control from any iOS or Android device, including changing colors and turning on and off remotely.

However, the "hue" kit is being offered exclusively through Apple stores beginning Tuesday (Oct. 30). The kit includes three hue LED light bulbs that fit into standard light fixtures, a bridge unit that connects to a wireless router and a downloadable application. The application comes in iOS and Android variants. And it can be managed in most smartphones and tablet computers. People can use it to remotely control home lighting for security, set and change timers and alter the color from more than 16 million colors to customize the lighting in each room.

Philips indicates that the hue bulb allows tunable white light from cool to warm. And the internet addressablility allows lights to be turned off and on or dimmed remotely and that the application supports up to 50 hue bulbs in a domestic setting. This also allows numerous light settings to be saved and recalled at the touch of tablet button.
