About LIFX
LIFX was founded in 2012 in Melbourne, Australia, and became one of the first WiFi-connected smart bulbs on the market. Unlike competitors that require a separate hub, LIFX bulbs connect directly to WiFi, simplifying setup and reducing costs. The company gained early traction through a successful Kickstarter campaign and has since expanded to a full range of color-changing and white bulbs, light strips, tiles, and ceiling lights.
LIFX bulbs are known for their exceptional brightness (up to 1100 lumens), rich color accuracy, and smooth transitions. With support for all major smart home platforms and advanced features like infrared night vision mode and Polychrome zones, LIFX delivers premium smart lighting.
