A group of young Australian inventors has given the humble bulb a snazzy upgrade.
They have developed "the world's smartest light bulb" that dims, changes colour, strobes, switches on automatically, and can be fully controlled from a mobile phone.
The inventors secured almost a million pounds in funding to manufacture a 42 pounds light bulb that lets you have a disco in your kitchen.
The LIFX light bulb will give users the power to quickly dim the lights for a romantic evening in - or switch on the disco strobe for an impromptu rave.
At 42 pounds each with a lifespan of 25 years, the bulbs cost a staggering amount compared to normal energy-saving fluorescent bulbs, which can be picked up for as little as 2 pounds and typically last for around ten years.
The project has, however, seen an astonishing level of support since it launched.
Billed by company founder Phil Bosua as "the world's smartest light bulb", the bulb will screw into normal light fittings and function like a normal light bulb if you lose your phone.
Check out the launch trailer for collection 4 which is set to release on October 10 for the PC:
