Lumen is a smart LED strip your friends can glow. Tap a coin on your desk and their wall lights up in your color, whether they're down the hall or across the country.
Try it. That's the whole product.
Other smart strips are remote controls for your own room. Lumen connects rooms. Every kit ships with the same great light, plus the part nobody else has: your people.
Add a friend in the app. From then on, either of you can light the other's strip with a glow: a color, a pattern, a mood. It fades on its own, or they tap to clear it.
Each NFC coin is tied to one action. Set one on your nightstand for "goodnight." Tap it. Their room glows. No phone, no app open.
Pick a team and your strip pulses on every score. Set a reminder and it fades in as blue light instead of another notification.
A 5 m seamless COB strip, no visible dots, driven by an open WLED core with 100+ effects. Music mode, scenes, schedules, and the whole thing keeps working with no subscription.
Stick the strip, plug in the controller, open the Lumen app. It finds the strip and joins your Wi-Fi from inside the app. You never leave it.
Send a friend request by username. Once they accept, you can glow each other, and you'll see when their strip is on.
Hold a coin to your phone once to set what it does. After that, tap it on any phone, or just leave it on the desk and tap when you think of them.
Every kit includes NFC coins. Assign each one in the app, then keep it where the moment happens.
On the nightstand. One tap, their room goes warm amber and fades out over ten minutes.
By the door. Tap when you're in. Mom's strip blinks green twice and settles.
Schedule it. The strip fades in blue at 9 pm and stays until the coin is tapped.
Tap to dim your own strip to a low ember. Tap again to bring the room back.
Any glow, any friend, any strip. Re-assign a coin whenever you want.
The Duo is built for two people. Keep one, give one. The first batch is small, hand-assembled here in Tempe, and ships in time for the holidays.
Thirty days from the day it arrives. Full refund, no form, no questions. We'd rather have the kit back than have it sit in a drawer.
"We're a brother and sister who moved from San Diego to Tempe. We built this so a lamp turning on could mean 'I'm thinking about you' without anyone picking up a phone. The first batch is small on purpose. You'll be talking to us."

To glow each other, yes. That's why the Duo exists. A Single is for joining someone who already has one, or for coins and scores in your own room.
No. The app, friends, glows, coins, and updates are included. We may add optional extras later, but nothing you buy today gets taken away.
Peel, stick, plug in one cable, open the app. The app joins the strip to your Wi-Fi from inside the app. Most people are done in about four minutes. If you get stuck, you text us.
An iPhone running iOS 17 or later, with Wi-Fi. Coins work with any NFC-capable phone. Android app is planned for 2027.
