To adjust the atmosphere of any room, the user simply chooses from one of the carefully crafted light scenes, which include settings such as Cherry Blossoms, Northern Glow and Mountain Breeze. The smart LED lightbulb will then respond accordingly to create the perfect ambiance. Users can even connect the light to their alarm to wake up to a natural light scene. Currently the Avea ambient mood lights are only comparable with Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **App-controlled Mood Lighting:** Smart device-controlled mood lighting systems present opportunities for makers of Bluetooth smart lights and related mobile apps. - **Personalized Ambience Technology:** Ambient mood lighting systems that allow users to set and adjust settings tailored to their mood or time of day create opportunities for innovative home automation and IoT developers. - **Smart Home Lighting Innovation:** The use of Bluetooth Smart technology in smart LED lights encourages disruptive innovation in the lighting industry, particularly for makers of adaptable and customizable lighting systems. ### Where This Applies - **Home Automation:** Innovative home automation and IoT developers have opportunities to capitalize on customizable ambient lighting and app-controlled smart lighting technologies. - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Makers of Bluetooth smart lighting systems will see growth opportunities as more consumers look for customizable and remotely controlled ambient mood lights. - **Mobile App Development:** Mobile app developers stand to benefit from the trend towards app-controlled lighting systems as more consumers demand greater personalization and control over their devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Ambient Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-varmblixt-smart-lights.md) - [Second-Generation Smart Home Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eve-flare.md) - [Customizable Hexagonal Desk Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cololight-plus-hexagon-light-kit.md) - [Smart Fairy Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-fairy-lights.md) - [AR-Enabled Illumination Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-philips-hue-app.md) - [Soft Illumination Streamer Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elgato-key-light-air.md) - [AI-Generated Lighting Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-lighting.md) - [Retro App-Controlled Lava Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appcontrolled-lava-lamp.md) - [Ambient Smart Lighting Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambient-smart-lighting.md)
