I'm a cofounder at Lumina - we're a consumer hardware startup looking to build products like this.
We've done a lot of research on lighting in pursuit of building a better webcam (our main product). We found the lights on the market (i) aren't very bright, (ii) aren't smart in any way, and (iii) are way too expensive for the functionality you're getting.
Personally, I use a 100 watt LED corn bulb but it's not very pretty.
We're considering building a light as our next product. Imagine: a light that's super bright, adapts its color and intensity to the weather / time of day / other lights in your room. (If anyone has ideas here, please reach out!)
