Details are exceedingly light (almost dangerously light, in fact), but the Modula color therapy lamp is simply too soothing to overlook. The three-ringed
lamp is built with a slew of multi-color lights (LEDs, we're guessing), all wired up to be controlled via Bluetooth. The video demonstration shows a
Sony Ericsson W880i doing the dirty work, but there's no indication of how exactly end users are supposed to accomplish the color changing once it arrives. Those in the camp of "buy now, ask questions later" can get their pre-order in through the read link, but considering that only an EU-friendly 230V version is currently available, those on this side of the pond will need to invest in some serious converters to make it all compatible. The pain? Just €199 ($281) for hours upon hours of endless entertainment.

Seems kind of Chinese jugglery.
is it just me or is the pictures of the Pink lights very disturbing! I hope that's a Thumb!
LMFAO
So glad I'm not the only one!
Oh you are just horrible.
I thought the same thing.
Now that I see the thumb I can't really see what I thought I saw before, but I was almost positive that it was something else.
Looks like a scene from a Paris Hilton movie.
how long d'you reckon for engadget to see it and decide to replace the pic?
its a disorder called "schlong-digit-itis"
It is not just you. I think it is Mr. Pinkey
naughty naughty
be nice to program to caller ID:
green for the chick you met last week
red for bill collectors
and pink for your "rainbow" friends
I understand that the info on our site is scarce at best.
.
Lamp is currently made to work from 230V, this is because we can get much better efficiency if we made it one voltage only. It actually works from 110V, but efficiency is much lower.
The specs:
36x 0.35W RGB LEDS
9x 1W white leds
Connectivity via bluetooth.
This was originaly intended for setting color temperature ( cold/daylight/worm...) and not so much for full color.
The application on the phone is made in Java, so most of the phones with bluetooth are supported, but not all(for example iPhone, does not have Java).
It currently support changing Hue, Saturation,Brightness. The ability for setting profiles will be added.
More detail coming soon on http://lamp.modula.si
ENGADGET THERE IS A F**KING PENIS ON THE PINK LIGHT PICTURE!
What's wrong with a button to change colour?
It would be unimaginative. I don't care much about changing the color of my lamp with my mobile phone, but I really like the general direction this idea takes. Nowadays almost everybody carries a sadly underutilized Bluetooth/WLAN device in his pocket.
thank god i'm not the only one confused by the pink one. i see the rest of the hand, so it has to be a thumb, but christ, it does not look like one.
Somebody might want to take a closer look at that picture... something is not supposed to be there..
something about pre ordering from a website that has a spelling error in the second word of the title sentence is somewhat unsettling.
"Millions off possible colors settable from mobile phone"
How could they possibly not catch that before publishing
