The Audio Bulb

[Mave]

Hammacher Schlemmer is selling a pair of LED light bulbs that double as a set of high grade wireless speakers. The speakers draw power directly from any standard light socket and feed back to a wireless base station.

A pair costs $300 but for something this cool, it’s hard to argue with the price.

This is the wireless, illuminated speaker that installs as easily as a light bulb. It fits unobtrusively within a recessed can light receptacle, replacing a standard light bulb, for discreet audio and lighting. Providing crisp audio, the full-range, 10-watt speaker receives interference-free wireless audio signals from up to 50' away from its transmitter, which docks with any iPod/iPhone equipped with a 30-pin connector. The speaker has integrated LEDs that provide bright light similar to a 60-watt light bulb. The included remote controls volume, play/pause, and light dimming to 50% of brightness. Transmitter has an auxiliary port for connecting other audio inputs. Includes two speakers; supports a total of eight speakers. Speaker 3 1/2" Diam. x 6" H. (16 oz.); Transmitter 3 1/2" L x 3 1/2" W x 1/2" H. (3 1/4 oz.)
