Want them to cycle through the rainbow like a screensaver on your wall? Done. Want a mix of pastels to cast some subtle shades across your decor? You got it. Like the rest of the Lifx lineup, they're plenty bright and plenty colorful, and the assortment of quick presets and effects in the Lifx app gives you lots of control over the way they look. To that end, Lifx Tiles will certainly get the job done. That said, it isn't hard to imagine them lighting up a gaming nook or a teen's bedroom - and if you're an out-and-proud smart home enthusiast, then you might be looking to make a statement in your living room, too. As futuristic novelties, Lifx Tiles and other products like them might feel a little out of place in your present-day living space. I suspect that a lot of folks can probably relate to Chance here. You can animate randomized, color-changing presets across your Tiles in the Lifx app, or save your hand-drawn designs as scenes and call them up later with a voice command. Some tech-savvy users have gone further and hacked their Tiles to show things like Pac-Man animations - a mechanism for creating advanced animations like these and sharing them with other users would be a fun addition, too. A "stamp" effect for placing quick, crisp symbols and letters across the Tiles would be a big help. Even worse, there's no undo button, so you'll need to manually reset your Tile back to its unaltered state whenever you don't like what you've drawn, which will happen often. It's a cool feature, but also rather clumsy and imprecise. You can also use the app to "paint" on the Tiles by picking a color and dragging your finger across little icons representing your setup. Other effects include a music visualizer that relies on the mic in your phone, a strobe light and a morph effect that melts waves of color across the Tiles. For instance, you can tap the Powerful preset for a random allotment of fiery orange and red hues, then animate that preset to dance and shift around like a lava lamp at the speed and brightness of your choice. In addition to changing their brightness and color, the app lets you choose from a number of colorful presets and effects. Once you've got them up on your wall in the arrangement of your choice, you pair them with your iOS or Android device using the Lifx app.
