An Innovative Fusion of Sound and Light
Replace your ordinary light bulb with the LSPX-100E26J LED bulb speaker, and your lighting fixture takes on an entirely new role. Install it as a ceiling light in your living room or bedroom, and music will fill your space, creating an unprecedented living environment. While many electronic devices now feature speaker functions, the "light bulb" form factor is arguably one of the most innovative.
The simple, white-based design blends seamlessly into your interior, maintaining its "functional beauty" as a lighting item without drawing undue attention to the speaker itself. Yet, when you do notice the speaker, its placement at the tip of the unit allows sound to emanate freely, showcasing its "functional beauty" as a speaker. This integrated design of sound and light, embodying functional beauty, is a testament to Sony's innovative technology.
Packed with Sony's Innovative Technology
The compact body of the LSPX-100E26J LED bulb speaker is filled with proprietary technologies developed by Sony. One such innovation is "High-Density 3D Circuit Board Arrangement." This technology allows the unit to achieve a size of approximately 61mm in diameter and 116mm in height, weighing just about 205g – virtually the same as a standard light bulb. Like a conventional bulb, it connects to lighting fixtures with an E26 base. Furthermore, with a commercially available adapter, it can also be used with E17 base fixtures, enabling installation anywhere a light bulb can be used.
The speaker is positioned at the tip of the unit, yet its structure is designed so that it doesn't detract from its function as a light source. Thanks to Sony's proprietary "Optical Lens Globe" technology, the refraction angle of light is adjusted to minimize the shadow cast by the front-facing speaker, allowing the light to fully illuminate the space.
This small, bulb-like body houses a 40mm dynamic speaker. Positioned at the tip, the 40mm speaker faces forward without obstruction, delivering clear sound directly to the listener. Audio is supplied wirelessly via Bluetooth, allowing for seamless reception of audio files. Without the need for cumbersome wiring, you can stream audio wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices such as smartphones, tablets, and portable music players.
Operation is also intuitive, with easy control of both sound and light via your smartphone. The dedicated app "SongPal," compatible with Android and iOS, allows you to seamlessly control volume and dimming from your smart device. "SongPal" also enables you to set preset equalizers tailored to different lighting fixture types, ensuring optimal sound quality based on the installed fixture.
The addition of music playback, a feature absent in traditional light sources, and the flexible installation possibilities of a speaker bring new richness to your living space.
