There are inventions that would have still been able to give earlier. This includes the Giinii Audiobulb , which is a 5 watt light bulb with a 10 watt speaker leads together. Get over a 2.4 Ghz dual speakers connect via a docking station that will be within reach of 100 feet, and the signal can be the same time still used as a reading lamp. Up to six bulbs can add to the network and divide into two different zones of volume.
The starter set with two bulbs and the dock costs a hefty $ 299 and each additional $ 99 bulb. You can plug in not only Apple products, but a 3.5 connection, other MP3 player. Nevertheless, the idea is brilliant when you consider how many cables you save your home and not even a space for the speaker must find. However, many light sources will have the house of the future, but I guess that’s not so bad. Now we just have to give a new variant that can also play at ausgeschlatetem light music.

New AudioBulb from GiiNii makes playing music wirelessly as easy as screwing in a light bulb
Innovative wireless music and LED lighting system supports iPods and iPhones and fits any standard light socket or lamp
NEW YORK Sept. 14, 2011 Today at Pepcom’s Holiday Spectacular! New York 2011, GiiNii International introduced AudioBulb, an innovative music and LED lighting system that lets users play music from iPods, iPhones and auxiliary input sources throughout their homes and offices without wires.
The patented AudioBulb system integrates an efficient LED light and a wireless speaker in a single light bulb that is controlled by a standalone base unit. It’s as easy to set up as screwing in a light bulb. A pair of bulbs, provided in the standard package, play in stereo.
“AudioBulb solves the problem of easily playing music where you want by using something that can be found in every room: light sockets,” said GiiNii Vice President Ryan Giordano. “Typical audio systems wired or wireless can be hard to use, expensive to install, complicated to expand to additional rooms and usually require speakers that seldom match a room’s dcor. AudioBulb’s design combines the best of music systems, wireless technology and standard light sockets for a truly innovative, attractive wireless music solution.”
AudioBulb requires no technical set-up, complex wires or custom installation. The bulbs fit into any standard Edison light or lamp socket, and users simply connect an audio source via the base unit’s Apple 30-pin dock connector or auxiliary input. The transmitter’s wireless technology accommodates up to eight AudioBulb bulbs which can be configured into two separate listening zones. Separate zones can be established for a single room or multiple rooms throughout a home. This makes it easy for users to play music at different volume levels and adjust the lighting in the separate zones, so while some listen to music, others can sleep in silence.
The LED bulbs only use 5 watts of energy and produce light suitable to replace up to a 60 watt incandescent bulb. They are rated for 30,000 hours or 10 years with normal usage, which is far more than standard incandescent or compact fluorescent light bulbs. When music is not desired, the bulbs function as standard lights with a four-stage dimmer.
The system has a maximum signal range of 50 to 100 feet depending on the environment. All AudioBulb music and light functions can be controlled through an included infrared remote.
