LIFX was acquired by ASX listed Buddy Technologies (BUD) in early 2019. These were an early example of LIFX's polychrome technology going beyond their original use in the light strip, with the Tile using an array of LEDs to create many addressable areas within the one 'light' and enabling new effects and features in the smart lighting space. In November 2017 the company released the LIFX Mini bulbs, LIFX Beam, a modular set of LED bars that join with magnetic connections, and the LIFX Tiles, another module smart feature light for LED wall displays and ambient lighting. In September 2017 support was added for Apple HomeKit. On Octothe third generation LIFX bulbs shipped, including the flagship 'flat top' bulb reminiscent of the original A19 product, as well as BR30 bulbs, a GU10 track light, a LIFX Downlight, the LIFX+ bulbs (a bulb that added an infrared channel to allow boosted security vision for cameras through glass, down long passages and across longer distances) and the hugely popular LIFX Z light strips. By May 16, 2015, the LIFX iOS app had added support for the Apple Watch. In April 2015, LIFX was renamed LIFX Original two new products were launched at that time, expanding the range to include a tunable white light, the White 800 and the Color 650. This included IFTTT integration, remote access and an Android Wear app. On February 3, 2015, LIFX 2.0 was launched. LIFX was also one of the first products to participate in the Works with Nest program. Consequently, the company managed to raise $1.3 million in public funding, followed by a $12 million series A investment round in mid 2014.
LiFi Labs introduced the idea of smart lighting on Kickstarter, before any alternative products could be found in market, and have since attracted large attention. LIFX was originally manufactured by LiFi Labs, a San Francisco-based company founded by the Australian inventor Phil Bosua. LIFX (pronounced Life-X) is a line of energy-efficient, multi-color, Wi-Fi enabled, digital addressable LED light bulbs that can be controlled via a Wi-Fi equipped device such as a smartphone or smartwatch.
