I have written over on 100 post it notes today, trying to analyse my cultural probes. Aah! (which have now exploded onto my bedroom wall where the sticky on the supposedly 'sticky' post-it-notes failed me and I had to resort to blue tac!!: flickr pictures to be uploaded soon) Some really interesting stuff coming out of them. Seems a lot of people are concerned with the colour temperature (warm/cold) of existing energy saving bulbs/fluro tubes, mostly that it is rubbish! People want the ability to be able to change the colour temp to suit their mood, the task they are doing, the time of day etc. Whats your opinion? Are there any existing products that you know of that do this already?
I have a lot more analasis to do but I will post as much as I can when I have condensed it down to something we both understand :)
I would also like to add that this blog is connected to the bloggpspot website, so if you have a blog you can follow me there (might be easier). You can also see my blog roll and flickr pictures etc: www.bethjacksondesign.blogspot.com But you can carry on following me here if you wish!

Thanks peter, I saw those a couple of months ago, I think the idea of being able to change the colour temperature of a bulb/light source is quite nice, but I couldn't imagine haven't to control a bulb by a remote control. In this case I would assume that you only need one remote to control several bulbs, It would be a bit ridiculous to have a different remote for every one in the house. It hard enough trying to keep track of the TV remote! lol.
