Smart LED bulbs appear

Blackouts are an annoying thing, especially for people with dark phobias. This is simply a nightmare. Suddenly the world is in silence. You can't watch TV and you can't reach out and you don't see your fingers. At this time, the light source is extremely important. Recently, a Kickstarter project called SmartCharge is a power saver. In fact, it is a LED bulb with built-in energy storage. When other devices have no power supply, it can be safe.

SmartCharge's LED light bulbs are suitable for all standard fixtures, so if you want to use it, simply replace the normal light bulb. And it has an energy saving rate as high as 90% compared with ordinary incandescent lamps, and it has a normal lifespan of 25 years. Of course, we haven't had a chance to verify this figure yet. In the event of a power outage, SmartCharge's built-in reserve battery can provide four hours of lighting time, enough to wait until the power company's normal power supply.

If you think that SmartCharge is just a lightbulb that can be stored, then you will be too small to see it, it is only its "Charge" function, it also has "Smart" side. Why do you say this? Because SmartCharge can remember the position of the light switch before the power is turned off, and then when the power is resumed, the same state as before the power failure is maintained. Interested friends can look at the video in the text.

At present, SmartCharge is looking for $50,000 in Kickstarter funds. It is now 42 days before the end of the fundraising and has raised close to $15,000 in funds. The starting price of a single SmartCharge bulb is 35 US dollars (about 213 yuan), which is still a reasonable price compared with the non-intelligent LED bulbs currently sold in the US market. Its developer Suman said that it expects to be in April of next year. The product is shipped to the user.
