With the advent of 3rd generation of luminous miracle plant from Philips was again my curiosity on new innovations, as usual (normally), aroused.
Not least, my love for music is inevitably with appropriate lighting, the suitable atmosphere in dense context. Since I'm already the proud owner of three lighting units of the Living Colors series, second generation, I decided now to test the new edition.
The Living Colors series features since the first generation of LED technology, the possibility of individually with each to illuminate his room imaginable color or to fast color changes (all using the included remote control can be adjusted manually) embellish either a gentle.
When unpacking me already noticed that the lamp is no longer packaged in a silk bag, but was simply supplied in the box. Furthermore, positive mood on yet Coming, but this did not bother me. When inserting the batteries into the remote control I noticed another innovation: the key operation should not be carried out solely by touch function, but again mechanically by pressure obviously. Well, is that this is not a reason for complaint. The first significant difference to its predecessor, but: Unfortunately, there is only the possibility of two rather than as usual to save three of its favourisierten settings. Of course I had the advantage of the A / B comparison: The new lighting emits neither brighter light, nor are any innovations recognizable. On the contrary: the Fernbedienunung recalls, apart from the design (round Forn) back to the lights of the first generation: there are mechanical pushbuttons been installed, they also save only two of its respective favorite settings. At the operation or the functionality of the lamp itself, no changes are compared to the second generation absolutely recognizable. Only on the lamp itself (in my case execution Clear) is now a white border, where it is a matter of taste, whether it is beautiful or rather not so nice to look at. Energy consumption is not new, as previously 10 watts.
In the final result, I regret to say that my hunger for new ideas the engineers at Philips resulted more likely to lean disillusionment: I continue favourisiere my old lamps, the second generation, as these stylish designed to my taste and boast more functionality.
