GreenWave Reality has this week announced the launch of its new NXP Internet-based wireless light bulb technology, which has been designed to enable users to easily control and automate lighting through a handheld remote or smartphone application.

The new light bulbs created by GreanWave Reality are equipped with JenNet-IP network layer software from NXP Semiconductors, allowing them to be used straight from the box without the need for any re-wiring. Watch the video after the jump to see them in action.

"By simply screwing in the bulbs, consumers can immediately begin to control their lights. The solution comes pre-configured with "home,” "away” and "night” Smart Controls. For example, before bed, consumers can simply press the "night” Smart Control to turn off all lights, eliminating the need to go from room to room to turn lights off.

Consumers can also create their own custom Smart Controls to fit their lifestyle, such as having outdoor lights automatically come on at dusk and turn off at dawn, and even integrating with motion sensors to automatically turn lights on or off when entering or exiting a room. For added convenience and safety, the solution is "light switch friendly,” meaning that existing wall switches will still turn the lights on or off in all circumstances.”

GrenWave Reality is now shipping their lightbulbs within Europe and will soon start shipping worldwide in the coming months, as its product is already certified for the United States market.
