Light by RocketLife is essentially your traditional 6 foot RGB LED strip on steroids. Instead of changing all LEDs on the light strip at once, with only one color at a time, Light by Rocketlife, allows you to assign individual colors and patters to each LED. This gets you truly customized lighting options not typically possible with mainstream products. This comes at a cost of course, totaling at $149.95 for two 6.5′ LED strips, the LightBox Bluetooth LED animation device, Light Effects Design software, and the LightMobile app for iOS and Android. As you can see, this isn’t a normal LED kit, and the price reflects it. Although we haven’t put hands on this product yet, the high resolution photos suggests high quality RGB strips which is arguably the most important component. You want bright and vibrant lighting, afterall. We can only hope the final product release of the LightBox, which is essentially the brains of the operation, will also be of high quality.
Tinkerers will appreciate the LightBox being extensible, allowing you to add more boxes or other custom peripherals to the system over time. It’s good to know you aren’t stuck with what comes with the base kit, with no option to improve upon it. You can use this system for DIY projects, animated signs, retail displays, and more. Although we haven’t reviewed one of these first hand yet, I wanted to share this product because there really isn’t an affordable LED solution with individually assignable colors available in an affordable consumer space. Once you receive this kit, you install the LEDs on whatever project you deem applicable, then use the included software to program static or dynamic color patterns, and make the display look exactly how you envision. You can even interact with the Lightbox via Bluetooth and the mobile app.
The kickstarter goes live on November 13th, so be sure to visit the site as soon as you can if you want to secure an earlier shipment time. Expected ship time is Q2 of 2019.
