In 1939, the first Major League Baseball game was broadcast on TV—a double-header between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers—at a time when American TV was still very much an experiment. But this broadcast was a long time coming. In fact, years before practical TV tech had even been demonstrated, people were already dreaming about how they’d be able to watch America’s pastime from the comfort of their own homes.

Music can change our mood in an instant. Listening to one song can make a bad day seem brighter, or put a busy mind at ease. There are a variety of methods to listen to music available. You could get a luxurious speaker system, or just plug some ear buds into your phone. If you don’t like having much clutter on your table or desk surfaces, why not get an item you could use every day that has an integrated speaker?
The AirBulb is a LED light bulb that can not only play your favorite tunes, but change its lighting on a whim. It’s very easy to use, and the only installation you need to worry about is screwing it into the socket. No wires, recharging, and everything is controlled via smartphone app. As this works via Bluetooth, you can use it for gaming, watching movies, browsing the web and more.
As stated previously, this does have changeable lighting. You can choose cool or warm white, with different brightness levels to help yourself wake up or wind down for the evening. You can even set it for different flashing patterns to alert you for incoming calls or a wake-up alarm. If you don’t have any specific music you want to listen to, there are some ‘natural sounds’ available in the app for you to choose from for background noise. This can be used for any light in your home, and it can be used for up to 40,000 hours. One of these will cost you around $69, or you could go for two at $115.
Available for crowdfunding on Kickstarter
