Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sony has quite sensibly combined lighting and sound in one product, launching a screw-in LED light bulb that also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker.
Initially only available in Japan, the 360-lumen bulb is controlled via a smartphone app, which let's you adjust the volume and lighting level.
It presumably doesn't pack a huge punch sound-wise, but would de-clutter a room gadgets-wise and looks perfect for sticking on jams while cooking or for low-lighting a bedroom, as can be seen in the images below of two very happy models using the bulb in different places around the home.
The LED Light Bulb Speaker is released in Japan on May 23rd, with Sony's online store listing it for ¥23,880 (around £130). No word yet on a US/UK launch date.
