New Smartphone-Operated
Million-Color LED Light Strip



On Sale at FundAnything



New faster, cheaper LED light strips create a
million colors via a Bluetooth app on iPhone or Android- now available at
http://www.fundanything.com/chameleon



New York, NY – August 28,
2013
-- Early adopters and gadget freaks are electrified by the news
that LED strips controlled from your mobile device are finally available to the
public, with the launch of the new Chameleon LED Strip at http://www.FundAnything.com/chameleon.    



“After an intense process of research and design, we’re now ready to present a
new lighting experience to the public," explains Peter Lakits, CEO of
BlueBulb Ltd., the company which invented the smartphone-controlled Bluetooth Bulb. In June of this
year, the company’s Bluetooth Bulb became an overnight success, selling out in
a matter of days.



The new Chameleon technology is simple to use but deceptively sophisticated.
The 10-foot adhesive-backed LED strips attach easily to any surface. They are
connected to a Chameleon Controller - a box that controls the color of the LED
lights, and controlled with smartphones via Bluetooth.



How does Chameleon compare? Unlike the Philips Hue LED strip product, Chameleon
Light Strips operate via Bluetooth 4.0 and require no starter pack or hub. It
changes colors three times faster, and contains twice as many LEDs per foot.



In late 2012, the company started to develop the Chameleon
smartphone-controlled LED lighting. Since then, the founders have underwritten
the development of this revolutionary product. Now, with an indication of
strong market demand, they’re turning to crowdfunding at FundAnything.com to
fund mass production.



Unlike most innovations found on crowdfunding sites, the Chameleon
smartphone-controlled LED strip has been tested and approved, and now 500 units
are ready to ship to contributors on FundAnything.com/chameleon. Once the
campaign reaches its goal, the company will produce more of these sets.



“Our Chameleon smartphone-controlled LED strip doesn’t need a base station or internet
connection," explains Lakits. “All you do is stick the LED-strip wherever
you want and download the free app from Google Play or the Apple iTunes Store.
People instantly fall in love with all the beautiful colors,” he said.

This energy-efficient Chameleon
smartphone-controlled LED strip is controlled by Android devices and Apple
iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 3, iPad4, and iPad mini. Using Bluetooth 4.0
technology, people can control the color, brightness and timer for the LED
strips right from the palm of their hand.



“People are amazed at how much fun it is to use your mobile device to control
one million colors, including a brilliant white light. With so many choices,
suddenly plain white light seems really old and boring!” says Lakits.



Gotta have ‘em? The revolutionary Chameleon smartphone-controlled LED strip is
available for a limited time to people who contribute to the campaign.
Chameleon is available at pretail for $49 vs. the Philips pricing of $90 (plus
$199 for the required starter pack. To learn more, visit
