I really wanted to love this item, but too expensive for what it is
I have been in a long distance relationship for a while and thought that this would be a great alternative to texting, facetime, etc..  you know, just one of those things in the background to let someone know you are thinking about them.  So I like the concept, but the lamps themselves are a light plastic and not much different than a string led light.  The only difference is that you can create a grouping with a second or third lamp in a different location and control what light they see from your phone and they can do the same thing to you.  The app itself is very basic and needs some updating since every time I tried to connect it to wifi, it would send an error message.  I was eventually able to connect, but there are several steps involved for me to get it to work.<br /><br />Overall, I like the concept, but for the price you would expect it to be made from better materials and more functionality from the app itself.  The only useful aspect, of this since you have to use your smart phone to control everything which is no different than texting, is to flash the light to tell the other person you gave the 2nd lamp to look at their phone because you sent a message.<br /><br />It would be much better if there was the ability to send a voice message or something through the lamp to give it something more special that led strip lights on the market today.
