Smart home pioneer LIFX will live on under new ownership
, and we’ve seen nothing from them since. But with this purchase, we now know that new LIFX lights are on their way.Feit Electric
is a global lighting brand that you may not have heard of but whose products you probably own. It’s a major supplier of pretty much every type of light bulb and light fixture . Its products are ubiquitous in stores such as The Home Depot, Costco, and Lowe’s.
Feit’s own smart home products will remain separate from LIFX, and Knight said the company will continue to develop both platforms . “LIFX will remain as its own line distinguished by the superior user experience the custom-built platform can enable,” she said., where many users had been complaining about issues with cloud connectivity over the last few months and expressing concern that their bulbs were heading for obsoletion.
The post assured existing customers that Feit Electric would continue to support LIFX product owners globally. “We hope this move for the brand will reassure users and customers who have been nervous in the last couple of months about the continuity and continuation of the LIFX experience and ecosystem,” wrote the anonymous employee.
