Bluetooth Lightbulbs

 They come on when you enter the room.

Or go off when you turn off the device. Saves power.

       Why use bluetooth? Is the bluetooth transceiver within the lightbulb itself? what causes the detection of the presence of a person?   

       Presence detection circuits for turning lights on are well known (most people have something like this at their front/back door).

       Mmm, what was that movie that had pictures that changed whenever someone entered a room?

       Are you saying that you carry a small bluetooth device on you and it activates parts of the house when you walk into a room?   

       If so, then this is pretty much what the 'smart house' concept is about.   

       I'm still looking for a pun.
—st3f, Apr 27 2005
   

       No, no pun. Just a bluetooth-activated lighting system.

       I did a quite similar idea a while back, see link.

       I like it. We have the Lutron Radio Ra lighting system. It uses a priority protocol. I assume you can hook the Radio RA up to a computer and then control however you want. Bluetooth would be kinda cool: controllable from a CELL PHONE, PDA, LAPTOP or whatever you are carrying around.

       So I guess "bluetooth" is the new "usb"? So why bluetooth? Why not firewire? Why not infrared? Why not.... microwave? Why not..... infrared hopping?   

       I'm looking for a pun too. Am I at least close?
