# FlowGlow Smart LED Effect Lamp — Full Product Reference > FlowGlow is an E27 smart LED lamp with 40+ animated light effects running at 120+ Hz. > Unlike color-changing bulbs, it runs a dedicated real-time effect engine that produces > smooth, realistic animations — fire, aurora, lava lamp, lightning, and more. > Try every effect: https://explore.getflowglow.com | Shop: https://www.getflowglow.com ## What makes FlowGlow different from other smart lamps Most smart LED bulbs (Philips Hue, LIFX, Nanoleaf Essentials) change colors — they can set a room to red, blue, or cycle through a rainbow. FlowGlow does something fundamentally different: it displays animated visual effects on the lamp's surface at 120+ frames per second. Think of it as the difference between a TV showing a solid color vs. showing a movie. Key differentiators: - 120+ Hz effect engine: Most color-changing bulbs update at 1-10 Hz. FlowGlow's dedicated animation engine runs at 120+ Hz, producing fluid motion that looks natural. - 40+ distinct effects: Not just colors — full animations like flickering fire with rising sparks, flowing aurora bands, bouncing particles, and even Space Invaders. - Customizable per-effect: Each effect can be tuned in color, speed, and intensity. - Sound-reactive: Built-in microphone makes effects respond to music and ambient sound. - Preview before buying: Free 3D configurator at explore.getflowglow.com lets you try every effect on a realistic lamp model in your browser. ## Use Cases ### Cozy evenings & relaxation Best effects: Calm Fire, Candlelight, Breathing, Aurora, Heartbeat Set speed to slow, warm color palette.

A warm, relaxing campfire that flickers naturally with subtle heat distortion and occasional sparks drifting upward. - Wild Fire: Intense turbulent flame with violent, chaotic motion. An aggressive bonfire with rapid turbulence, heat-driven particle bursts, and chaotic flickering across the full lamp surface. - Windy Fire: Wind-swept flame with velocity-driven heat distribution. Flames bend and stretch as if blown by wind, with asymmetric heat patterns and directional spark trails. - Fire Eye: Pulsing flame variant with smooth burning center. A focused, hypnotic flame with a steady bright core that pulses rhythmically, surrounded by softer flickering edges. - Candlelight: Warm flickering glow at base with upward-rising heat diffusion. A single candleflame — warm, small, and intimate — with gentle wavering and soft upward glow. - Emberfall: Glowing sparks launched upward, fading with gravity and trailing down. Embers launch from a glowing base, arc upward, then cool and drift back down with gravity. - Sparks: Continuous shower of ascending sparks with ember glow base. A relentless upward stream of bright sparks from a smoldering bed of embers — like watching a campfire close-up. ### Nature (9) — aurora, ocean, rain, snow, and more Ideal for: living rooms, bedrooms, spa environments, nature lovers - Aurora: Flowing luminous bands drifting with fine shimmer ripples. Soft, wide bands of green and purple light sway slowly across the lamp, mimicking the northern lights. - Ocean: Rippling wave emanations from random spawn points. Concentric water ripples appear and spread outward, overlapping and interfering like rain on a pond. - Rainfall: Random ripples propagating in blue waves, settling and damping. Blue-tinted drops create spreading rings that fade naturally, evoking a gentle rain shower. - Snowfall: White flakes drift down, accumulating at bottom as pale glow. Individual snowflakes fall at different speeds and drift angles, building a soft white glow at the base. - Fireflies: Random glowing dots bounce gently, fading in and out with motion. Small warm lights appear, float briefly, and fade — like fireflies on a summer evening. - Leaves: Colored streams falling downward at varying speeds from top. Autumn-colored streaks drift downward at different speeds, like leaves falling from a tree. - Lightning: Bright bolts zip end-to-end, leaving fading tail masks. Sudden bright flashes streak across the lamp with lingering afterglow — dramatic and eye-catching. - Wellspring: Water wave pulses from center traveling up and down. Rhythmic wave pulses emanate from the lamp's center, traveling outward like ripples from a fountain. - Synchrony: Bioluminescent-like localized flashes that shift position with each wave. Groups of lights flash in synchronized patterns that move around the lamp — inspired by bioluminescent organisms. ### Space (7) — stars, supernovae, and orbital motion Ideal for: kids' rooms, home planetariums, science enthusiasts - Starlight: Sparse bright points twinkle and fade slowly like stars. A calm night sky — individual stars appear, twinkle, and gently fade at random positions. - Supernova: Expanding ring with bright core radiating from center outward. A bright explosion from the center sends an expanding shockwave ring outward — dramatic and cyclical. - Eclipse: Expanding and contracting shadow with glowing corona ring. A dark disc grows and shrinks, surrounded by a bright glowing halo — like watching a solar eclipse. - Solar Flare: Pulsing central core radiating flares alternating left and right. A bright stellar core sends pulsing flares outward in alternating directions. - Meteor: Single bright streak accelerating upward from bottom. A single bright trail accelerates across the lamp — like a shooting star — then fades and repeats. - Orbit: Single bright dot orbiting around center at constant speed. A point of light traces a smooth circular path — meditative and constant. - Gravity: Two bright dots orbiting around center, accelerating near center. Two dots orbit each other with gravitational acceleration — speeding up near the center, slowing at the edges. ### Light (8) — ambient glow and rhythmic pulses Ideal for: nightlights, meditation, background ambiance, focus work - Steady: Solid static glow, no animation. A constant, even light — use this as a standard colored lamp or warm/cool white. - Breathing: Even glow inhales and exhales smoothly with subtle spatial distortion. The entire lamp brightens and dims in a slow, natural breathing rhythm. - Pulse: Wave interference pattern creating rhythmic expansion-contraction. Overlapping wave patterns create a mesmerizing rhythmic pulsation across the surface. - Lighthouse: Circular halo expands and contracts with blackout hold between cycles. A bright ring expands outward, goes dark, then repeats — like a lighthouse beam sweeping past. - Heartbeat: Dual pulses sweep up from center in a rhythmic double-thump. Two quick pulses followed by a pause — the universal heartbeat rhythm, gentle and reassuring. - Core Pulse: Slowly wobbling sphere in the center of the lamp. A soft glowing orb in the lamp's center that gently wobbles and shifts — calming and hypnotic. - Quench: Random flickers spreading outward from random points. Spontaneous bright flickers appear at random points and spread outward briefly before fading. - Sawtooth: Solid color modulated by sawtooth signal with periodically changing amplitude. The brightness ramps up gradually then drops sharply in a repeating sawtooth pattern. ### Motion (6) — moving dots, trails, and collisions Ideal for: visual entertainment, parties, attention-grabbing displays - Tracer: Bright dot tracing sinusoidal path with fade trail. A single bright dot weaves a snake-like path across the lamp, leaving a glowing trail behind. - Duality: Two opposing bright dots moving in opposite directions. Two points of light travel in opposite directions — a visual representation of duality and balance. - Chase: Two fast-moving dots pursuing each other back-and-forth. Two dots race back and forth, one chasing the other — energetic and playful. - Bounce: Single ball bounces rhythmically up and down with persistence. A bright ball drops, bounces off the bottom, and arcs back up repeatedly with natural physics. - Collider: Two particles approach center, collision triggers flash and ring. Two dots accelerate toward each other, collide in a bright flash, then send out an expanding ring. - Spring: Mechanical spring extending and retracting periodically. A coiled pattern stretches and compresses rhythmically — mechanical and satisfying to watch. ### Play (5) — fun and creative animations Ideal for: kids' rooms, game nights, conversation starters - Lava Lamp: Glowing blobs rise from bottom, cool at top, fall back down. Colorful blobs of light rise slowly, reach the top, cool, and sink back down — classic lava lamp motion. - Octopus: Accordion-like pulsing body with extending and retracting motion. A pulsating form that expands and contracts rhythmically — organic and playful. - Equalizer: Bar rises and falls with peaked dot tracking level, procedural beats. An audio-visualizer style bar bounces to procedurally generated beats — enable sound reactivity for music sync. - Fireworks: Rocket ascends then bursts into radiating particles descending. A bright streak rises, explodes into colorful sparks that arc downward with gravity — a miniature fireworks show. - Space Invaders: Enemies descend, lasers rise to meet them, collision explosions. Retro-game inspired — pixelated aliens march downward, lasers fire upward, explosions on impact. ## Control Methods ### FlowGlow App (iOS & Android) Full control: browse and select effects, customize colors (full RGB + color temperature), adjust speed (slow meditative to fast energetic), save scenes, set timers and schedules, share custom effects with the FlowGlow community.
