Egan and Co-Founder Swapnil Bora have been developing iLumi since 2010, having garnered numerous accolades along the way, such as the SXSW Eco Startup Showcase and Cleantech Open Accelerator & Competition semi-finals, as well as extensive patent applications including the HyperLux LED technology.
“We have seen great interest in the intelligent lighting control space, particularly around smart homes and energy efficiency; however, cost and complexity have limited broad adoption. iLumi has the potential to be disruptive, as their automation and lighting control capabilities are simple and scalable, and come at a more affordable price,” said Tom Kerber, director of home systems and energy management research, Parks Associates. “I look forward to seeing the progression of the company when they enter full-scale production.”
Indiegogo Campaign The iLumi light bulb series is offered in four versions with prices starting at $59: a larger 100 watt replacement bulb that consumes 15 watts and produces 1,100 lumens, and a smaller 60 watt replacement bulb that consumes eight watts and produces 650 lumens. Both sizes are available in either a full spectrum option, tunable to both white and color hues, and a white spectrum option, tunable to variations of white hues. The company has produced fully working prototypes, and is weeks away from the finalized form factor.
