Luminoodle Task gives you 3,600 Lumens of flexible light to bend to your will

What would you do with a 5-foot length of ultra-thin, flexible LED light, essentially forming a long noodle of luminescence? That is a question that Power Practical, the folks behind a new Kickstarter campaign for the Luminoodle Task are leaving up to you. The company’s innovative bendy light strip, a follow-up to 2015’s original Luminoodle, promises to be a valuable aid whether you’re working on your car at night, equipping a shed or garage with an easy permanent light fixture, or just want some illumination when you’re out camping. In other words, it’s as versatile as it is bendy.

“The Luminoodle Task is a first-of-its-kind utility light,” Wafiq Ali, director of sales for Power Practical, told Digital Trends. “At 3,600 lumens, it shines with the brightest utility lights you can buy, but unlike any light ever created, it’s bendable. It’s designed to be used in every fathomable low-light situation, from the inside of your car’s engine compartment to the rafters in your garage. Built-in magnets, oversized hanging loops, and easy 12V DC or USB power makes this the most versatile and capable work light in the world.”

The Luminoodle Task is available in three different versions. There is the aforementioned large 5-foot flexible light, a smaller USB edition, and a series of sections you can link together to provide — at least in theory — as much light as you want. This third feature is where the Luminoodle Task really (excuse the puns) shines. Ali describes the daisy-chaining ability of the Luminoodle Task Link as “probably our most requested feature,” and one of the reasons the team went back to the drawing board to create this new model. In addition to its linking ability, the new models are also, “bigger and brighter than anything we’ve made yet.”

It’s definitely a nifty tool and one for which there is no shortage of possible applications. “There are quite a few use-cases that we envision with this product, but we are most stoked to see what other people dream up once we get it in their hands,” Ali continued.

Choosy? You can light up your home in 16 million colors with these solutions
LIFX Beam

Have you ever dreamed of having millions of accent light color patterns on your wall, all at the touch of a button or a voice command?
Smart home lighting company LIFX  has shed new light on the market with the introduction of Beam, a light strip, and Tile, an LED block light. You can hang the wall-mounted products anywhere in your house and build patterns by adding additional strips and tiles. Whether you need special lighting to showcase your giant flatscreen TV or a piece of art, the possibilities are endless. The company says the products can illuminate in more than 16 million colors and are compatible with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home. That of course means that you can control the ambient lighting with just your voice.
The Beam kit, which is available for pre-order now and will ship in November, includes six individual Beams, one corner connector piece, and a power pack for $199. Each Beam is 11.8 inches long, 1.37 inches deep, and 0.78 inches wide, which could net you more than 72 feet of strip lighting in your home using just the starter pack. You can can create squares, triangles, or other patterns and customize whatever colors you want to have illuminated at any time. 
The Tile kit is also available for pre-order now and will ship in November. The $250 starter kit includes five tiles - each just under eight inches wide and more than an inch deep - plus a power pack and a controller. Like the Beam, you can position each tile on your wall in any way you wish, meaning that you can create your own game of QBert on the wall if you want.
Both products link up with Wi-Fi without an additional hub. There's a dimmer on each item, giving you the ability to adjust the brightness at any time. Each unit can be set to display multiple colors.

LIFX is one of several companies creating interesting smart lighting solutions. Philips Hue has been at the forefront of ambient lighting, and Heelight recently released a smart light bulb that the company claims is able to hear the environment around it.

Awesome 3D-printed plant-carrying robot seeks out light to keep your plants healthy
robot

Imagine if, instead of sitting still, your plants could move about during the day to soak up the maximum amounts of sunlight or fresh air. No, we’re not talking about a scene from the “when plants attack” sci-fi movie Day of the Triffids from 1962, but rather a new Kickstarter campaign for 3D-printed robot buggies, called "Plantoids." Created by the Citizen Scientific Workshop (CSW), Plantoids utilize a range of smart sensors to autonomously track down the best growing conditions for their houseplant cargo.

“Plantoids are the first easy-to-build organic robot,” creator David Ultis told Digital Trends. “Much like we have regions of our brains that deal with signaling involuntary needs like energy levels and hunger, the Plantoid's sensors are tuned into the needs and qualities of life of the plant specimen that it carries. The Plantoid is then able to give the formerly inert-seeming plant the ability to mobilize and hunt for better survival conditions.”

Vibe automatically lights your way when you start pedaling your bike
Vibe

A Zurich bike store manager wanted the ultimate light for his cycling trips. The light had to be removable and small enough to fit into his pocket. It also had to assist with one of the biggest hassles with using a bike light -- remembering to turn it on before you start pedaling and to turn it off when you arrive at your destination. Light & Motion ran with these suggestions and created the Vibe, a smart bike light that auto-senses when you are pedaling and slips in your pocket when you reach your destination.

The design for the Vibe light was inspired by the robots that were capping the well in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The electronics in the robots were encased in a material that completely covered those components. This biorenewable material allowed Light & Motion to design the Vibe with a minimal amount of housing. This material not only made it possible to keep the Vibe small, about the size of a thumb drive, but it also provides waterproofing when it rains and impacts protection from unfortunate falls and collisions. Small and convenient, the Vibe also charges in a standard USB port. You can pull it out of your bike and pop it into your computer to charge.
