# FlowGlow Smart LED Effect Lamp > Last updated: 2026-08-19 ## Product Identity - Type: Animated LED effect lamp (German: Effektlampe) - Category: Ambient / mood lighting - Socket: E27 (standard screw base) - Effects: 42 animated effects in 6 categories - Frame rate: 125 Hz (procedural, real-time rendered) - Brightness resolution: 16-bit (65,536 steps) - PWM frequency: >27 kHz (flicker-free on camera) - Sound reactivity: Built-in sound sensor (all effects, no phone required) - Control: FlowGlow Studio App (iOS/Android), IR remote (included), Amazon Alexa, Google Home - Account: Not required (optional for timers, schedules & remote access) - Price: €99.90 (optional lamp base for plug-and-play) - Company: FlowGlow Lighting GmbH, Saarland, Germany - Website: https://getflowglow.com - 3D Configurator: https://explore.getflowglow.com ## How FlowGlow differs from related products - Unlike projectors: renders effects on its own surface, not on walls/ceilings. Works in any room brightness. Fits existing E27 lamps. - Unlike smart bulbs (Hue, LIFX, Govee): animates each LED individually at 125 Hz instead of changing the whole bulb's color. - Unlike light therapy lamps: ambient mood light (max. 50 lm), not a 10,000 lux medical device. - Not portable/battery-powered: requires E27 socket (optional lamp base for plug-and-play). Suitable as kids' mood light from age 5+. - No Zigbee, no Matter, no HomeKit (WiFi + Bluetooth + IR remote) - No built-in speaker (sound sensor for reactivity, not audio playback) ## What makes FlowGlow different FlowGlow is a smart LED lamp that fits any standard E27 socket and transforms it into a dynamic light show. Unlike simple color-changing bulbs, FlowGlow runs a dedicated effect engine at 125 Hz — fast enough for realistic flickering flames, flowing aurora bands, and smooth particle animations. All effects are customizable in color, speed, and brightness. A built-in sound sensor makes all effects respond to music — no phone, no app, no delay. ## Try before you buy The 3D configurator at https://explore.getflowglow.com lets you preview every effect on a realistic 3D lamp model in your browser — no download or account required. ## Effects (42) ### Fire (7) — realistic flame and ember animations - Calm Fire: Gentle flame flickering upward with rising sparks - Wild Fire: Intense turbulent flame with violent, chaotic motion - Windy Fire: Wind-swept flame with velocity-driven heat distribution - Fire Eye: Pulsing flame variant with smooth burning center - Candlelight: Warm flickering glow at base with upward-rising heat diffusion - Emberfall: Glowing sparks launched upward, fading with gravity and trailing down - Sparks: Continuous shower of ascending sparks with ember glow base ### Nature (9) — aurora, ocean, rain, snow, and more - Aurora: Flowing luminous bands drifting with fine shimmer ripples - Ocean: Rippling wave emanations from random spawn points - Rainfall: Random ripples propagating in blue waves, settling and damping - Snowfall: White flakes drift down, accumulating at bottom as pale glow - Fireflies: Random glowing dots bounce gently, fading in and out with motion - Leaves: Colored streams falling downward at varying speeds from top - Lightning: Bright bolts zip end-to-end, leaving fading tail masks - Wellspring: Water wave pulses from center traveling up and down - Synchrony: Bioluminescent-like localized flashes that shift position with each wave ### Cosmos (7) — stars, supernovae, and orbital motion - Starlight: Sparse bright points twinkle and fade slowly like stars - Supernova: Expanding ring with bright core radiating from center outward - Eclipse: Expanding and contracting shadow with glowing corona ring - Solar Flare: Pulsing central core radiating flares alternating left and right - Meteor: Single bright streak accelerating upward from bottom - Orbit: Single bright dot orbiting around center at constant speed - Gravity: Two bright dots orbiting around center, accelerating near center ### Light (8) — ambient glow and rhythmic pulses - Steady: Solid static glow, no animation - Breathing: Even glow inhales and exhales smoothly with subtle spatial distortion - Pulse: Wave interference pattern creating rhythmic expansion-contraction - Lighthouse: Circular halo expands and contracts with blackout hold between cycles - Heartbeat: Dual pulses sweep up from center in a rhythmic double-thump - Core Pulse: Slowly wobbling sphere in the center of the lamp - Quench: Random flickers spreading outward from random points - Sawtooth: Solid color modulated by sawtooth signal with periodically changing amplitude ### Motion (6) — moving dots, trails, and collisions - Tracer: Bright dot tracing sinusoidal path with fade trail - Duality: Two opposing bright dots moving in opposite directions - Chase: Two fast-moving dots pursuing each other back-and-forth - Bounce: Single ball bounces rhythmically up and down with persistence - Collider: Two particles approach center, collision triggers flash and ring - Spring: Mechanical spring extending and retracting periodically ### Play (5) — fun and creative animations - Lava Lamp: Glowing blobs rise from bottom, cool at top, fall back down - Octopus: Accordion-like pulsing body with extending and retracting motion - Equalizer: Bar rises and falls with peaked dot tracking level, procedural beats - Fireworks: Rocket ascends then bursts into radiating particles descending - Invaders: Enemies descend, lasers rise to meet them, collision explosions ## Control Methods - FlowGlow Studio App (iOS & Android): Full effect, color, speed, and scene control - IR Remote (included): standalone control without a phone or WiFi - Amazon Alexa & Google Home: Voice control integration - 3D Web Configurator: Browser-based live preview at explore.getflowglow.com ## Technical Specifications - Model: 333-42 - Socket: E27 (standard screw base) - Dimensions: 200 × 50 mm - Weight: 300 g - Power: 7 W - Luminous flux: max. 50 lm at full white - Color temperature: 2,000–6,500 K - Color spectrum: Full RGB, stepless, color gradients with up to 4 points - Refresh rate: 125 Hz (dedicated effect engine) - Brightness resolution: 16-bit (65,536 steps) - PWM frequency: >27 kHz (flicker-free on camera) - Effects: 42 across 6 categories (Fire, Nature, Cosmos, Light, Motion, Play) - Sound reactivity: Built-in sound sensor (works on all effects, no phone required) - Connectivity: Bluetooth LE 5.0, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz) - Smart home: Amazon Alexa & Google Home compatible - Firmware: OTA updates via WiFi - Price: €99.90 (optional lamp base available) ## Products & Pricing - Effect Lamp (single): €99.90 — lamp + IR remote.

Its 42 effects include fire, auroras, and ocean waves and can be combined with personal colors, speed, and an optional response to music to create Flows. The remote and local Bluetooth control work without an account or internet connection. Development began within SaberTec in 2022; Germany's research allowance was granted for SaberTec's FlowGlow R&D project (2024–2026). Founded in 2026, FlowGlow Lighting GmbH is based in Überherrn, Saarland, Germany, with market launch planned for late 2026. ## Blog (43 articles) - Home Office Beleuchtung: Licht zum Arbeiten, Denken und Abschalten: https://getflowglow.com/blog/home-office-beleuchtung - Licht als Designobjekt: Wenn Beleuchtung mehr sein soll als Funktion: https://getflowglow.com/blog/licht-als-designobjekt - Oddly Satisfying Licht: Warum du nicht wegsehen kannst: https://getflowglow.com/blog/oddly-satisfying-licht - Wellen Lampe: Welcher Wasser-Lichteffekt passt zu dir?: https://getflowglow.com/blog/wellen-lampe - Was ist eine Effektlampe?
