Music and light - convert your boring old light fitting to a Bluetooth Speaker AND control the light from your iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or iPod (5th generation). Play your favourite music, podcast or video sound wherever you have a light fitting nearby - bedside light, table lamp, ceiling light, the choice is yours. With MIPOW's PLAYBULB™ just turn off the power, screw out the old light bulb, screw in PLAYBULB™ and control it like a normal light, on and off from the switch. OR control it from your iPhone 5 without having to reach for the switch. Turn it on and off, dim it, brighten it, stream your audio to it like any other Bluetooth® enabled device.
The associated PLAYBULB App currently runs on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPod 5th generation. Version 1.2 has basic light control and Mode functions, future releases will enhance these further.
Received this for Christmas and absolutely loved out! Pairing was simple and easy and put out quality sound. Have been using iPhone 6s Plus the entire time but since the latest software update it no longer can play music. I really hope they get this fixed because it's a great product when it works. The product is not cheap so feel people are really getting ripped off now.
Pairs fine for light control...

Sometimes the speaker works and gives you a beep to know it works. Most of the time it's a light I can control but the sound doesn't work. Even with following all the manufacturer steps to pair no sound... This was a gift that has been a disappointment. Not recommended although a good concept.

One year later since last review and still doesn't play music out of lightbulb. Boo.
What's up with blue tooth?
Bulb user
Before the most current update, it connected via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5s no problem. Now, it shows two separate playbulbs and I have to connect to both of them in order to hear music.
