With the increasing popularity of wireless color-changing light bulbs - ie. Philips Hue - these light bulbs don’t particularly serve well as functional light bulbs; one can imagine that when trying to read a book using their Philips Hue light bulb only to continuously flash red according to fluctuations with a specified stock and its stock price. Alternatively, with the various third-party applications developed for the Philips Hue light bulbs, it is helpful to visualize specific data or to create atmospheric lighting or moods within a space. As a result, Hulum is designed to separate the lighting into 3 separate use cases - functional lighting, visualization lighting, and ambient lighting. Functional lighting is the downward spotlight from the Hulum lamp, which offers lighting for functional purposes - activities and tasks that require consistent lighting to help maximize productivity - in which lighting is limited to only cool or warm white light. Visualization lighting is the illumination of the Hulum shell, in which Philips Hue light bulbs are used to communicate some type of information or data that is connected through its various third-party applications, ie. stock information, noise levels, weather conditions, etc. Ambient lighting is the upward spotlight from the Hulum lamp that illuminates the overall room or space.
