LumaLink turns your iPhone into a versatile light: by a tap, automatically as you approach, conveniently from your Apple Watch, or as a light show for the party. Whether at the campsite, on a night walk, as an outdoor night light, in your camper van, during a power outage or while reading in the tent: LumaLink gives you light exactly when you need it, with no fumbling in the dark. HIGHLIGHTS • Flashlight with stepless brightness and a smooth fade • Remote control from your Apple Watch: on/off and dimming right from your wrist • Auto light on approach: using Ultra Wideband, LumaLink notices when you come closer with your watch and turns the light on automatically, and off again when you leave • Lock mode: a black screen that protects against accidental taps. Unlock with 5 taps, a long press, or from your Apple Watch • Power saver: screen fully dark, the light stays on • Pair several iPhones and use them together as lamps SCREEN LIGHT When the LED is not the right tool, the screen itself becomes a lamp: • Warm light for reading and as a night light • Daylight for selfies, make-up and video calls • Red light that keeps your night vision: for camping, fishing and stargazing • Candle and campfire with a calm, natural flicker SIGNAL & SOS • Morse SOS, beacon and fast strobe • The LED flashes, the screen stays calm EVERY DAY • Sleep timer: the light turns itself off after 5 to 120 minutes • Battery guard: shuts down before the battery runs out • Nightstand light: lying on its side while charging, LumaLink shows a clock and glows dimly • Siri, Shortcuts, Lock Screen widget, Control Centre and the Action button DISCO MODE Turn one or more iPhones into a light show: • Flashes to the beat of your music, detected live via the microphone, or by tap tempo/BPM • Light patterns: All, Chase, Alternate or Random • Choose which iPhone runs the show (host), the others flash along automatically (guests) • Arrange several iPhones freely and tap one to identify it with an LED flash • Start and stop the disco right from your Apple Watch EVENTS (organizer option, subscription) A light show where the whole room flashes along: • Far beyond 8 iPhones: every iPhone that joins takes in more devices itself • Everyone flashes on exactly the same beat, even across several levels • Poster with QR code to print or share • Guests join with one tap, free and without pairing • Music detection finds the beat and passes it on to everyone GREAT FOR Camping & tents · parties & celebrations · events & concerts · outdoor night light · camper van · garden evenings · power outages · workshop & basement · night walks with the dog LumaLink uses only your devices' hardware: no account, no cloud, no data sharing.
