Yesterday a Philips Living Colors that I’d purchased on Amazon.co.uk arrived. This is one cool lighting device! It is an LED lamp that is capable of displaying up to 16 million different colours at different brightnesses and contrasts. It comes with a remote control that allows you to set the colour, brightness, etc to suit any mood.

It’s got a great party trick, too– rotating through it’s full spectrum of colours. How to put it into this mode was not easy to learn as it was hidden away in the manual, but it’s pretty fantastic. I can’t wait to use it at my birthday party next month.
