Simple. Efficient. Everyday. Where did you get the inspiration for your product? Since the invention of the bulb, more than 100 years ago, the lighting industry has remained very traditional with limited innovation. With the emergence of LED and the large adoption of smartphones, we are convinced that it's now the right moment to imagine lighting devices that go far beyond simple illumination to help us live a better life. What differentiates your product from similar products out there? First and foremost, we're convinced that a connected device is not only a product but a set of services. So if we (of course!) pay a lot of attention to the "hardware" side of our products, we consider that offering great apps, both in terms of user experience or functionalities is extremely important. Because we want our products to have a positive impact on your daily life! Tell us about the best and most challenging parts of the creation process. Make it simple. Keep it simple. With a user-centric vision. That's always a challenge!
