With 512 LEDs in an app-controlled cube, Tittle is like fireworks for your desk

The Tittle light is an interactive LED lamp that promises to bring a little lighting fun to your home. Named after the dot on top of the letter “i,” the Tittle packs 512 LED dots into a cube shaped lamp that you can control from your phone. Since the lamp is Wi-Fi connected, Tittle and its mobile app hope to bring some creativity back into mood lighting.

For basic uses, Tittle can work a regular lamp by your bedside or desk by adjusting the brightness and focusing on white light. But the more fun options rely on the three dimensional layout of the 512 LED pins. Creative lighting features include custom 3D animations like hearts and emojis and mood lighting settings. Some of the preset mood lighting designs are meant to mimic cozy scenery like a snowstorm or a fireplace, and some just display a more party-focused colorful lights display.

The Tittle app lets users create personalized settings, light shows, and animations that can then be saved for future use. Through the creative platform on the mobile app, users can also send other Tittle owners messages and notifications that will pop up as visualizations in their lamps. Another option with Tittle is the music visualization setting, which will show animations across the lamp’s LED dots that are timed perfectly with the music you’re listening to.

Tittle is running a crowdfunding campaign to bring their final design through the manufacturing phase. The original Indiegogo fundraising goal was for $30,000, but Tittle has already more than doubled that amount with more than three weeks left in the campaign. For a pledge of $199, backers can get their choice of Tittle (with silver, black, or copper base) at a super early bird price. Tittle is expected to retail for $349, so it’s a big break. Shipping to the United States is free for Indigeogo supporters, and if all goes according to plan, backers should receive their Tittles by September 2016.

A new lawn mower can go a long way toward keeping your yard looking nice, and right now you can shop with some savings in store.

We’ve tracked down all of the best lawn mower deals below, as well as some information on whether each deal will get you the right lawn mower for your needs.
American Lawn Mower Company 50514 — $139, was $160

The American Lawnmower Company has created a lawn mower that works well and isn't enormously heavy — a mere 20 pounds. With its 14-inch cutting width and absurdly low weight, you can zip through small jobs quickly and get back to whatever else it is that you'd prefer to be doing in a hurry. The only odd point, at least if you're coming from traditional lawn mowers, about the American Lawnmower Company 50514 is how it is a corded mower. This means you'll have to slightly adjust your mowing to be more like vacuuming with a corded vacuum. It also means that, even with an extension cord, you won't be able to stray too far from home with it. As a result of its weight and corded nature, the American Lawnmower Company 50514 is perfect for smaller homes (and people).

Dyson’s new AR mobile app shows where you forgot to clean
A person using the Dyson AR app.

Dyson has always been on the cutting edge of vacuum technology, with heaps of premium vacuums filling the pages of its product catalog. Now, the company seems to be branching out to the world of augmented reality, with the reveal of Dyson CleanTrace -- a new feature on the MyDyson mobile app that shows you all the spots in your home that are yet to be cleaned.

Using Dyson CleanTrace is simple, though it comes with pretty strict limitations. For one, it only works with the expensive Dyson Gen5detect cordless vacuum. It also requires a smartphone with a lidar scanner (like an iPhone 15) and a special clamp to attach your phone to the vacuum (which is yet to receive a price tag). With all that out of the way, you'll then be able to launch the MyDyson app and access the CleanTrace feature for free when it arrives in June.
