The Ingo Maurer Digital app is a free app that makes it easy to control your Ingo Maurer luminaire from your smartphone or tablet with just the touch of a finger. Just install your luminaire, download the app, simply log in and start to control your Ingo Maurer luminaire from wherever you are. Switch between scenes and dimming levels or switch your Ingo Maurer luminaire on or off; the Ingo Maurer Digital app – it's child's play! MOODMOON MOODMOON is a wall lamp that combines innovation and tradition: Via the Ingo Maurer Digital app, the user can choose from 14 different lighting moods and colour gradients, some of which are static, others moving, and change the atmosphere of a room according to their own feelings and activities. Change the moods of the MOODMOON via the app according to your feeling: dim continuously and switch between the moods until you have set exactly the light colour that you like best. With the Ingo Maurer Digital app, MOODMOON is oriented towards people's personal needs. Users of MOODMOON can also choose between warm, calming or fresh, invigorating moods. For example, the luminaire can be used during the day with a white-blue stimulating lighting mood for work and in the evening with a warm colour choice for a calming effect. Just as you listen to certain music depending on your mood, MOODMOON offers the appropriate colour gradient which can be selected via the Ingo Maurer Digital app. The colour changes of MOODMOOD are deliberately programmed for mindful perception and are intended to have a relaxing effect. by Sebastian Hepting for Ingo Maurer
