Are we going? Yep. Hi, I'm Zach, and I'm here to show you Spark. Spark is this little widget,
um, it plugs into light bulb sockets (this is just a regular lamp) then I've got a dimmable
bulb I plug in the other end. It can take incandescent, dimmable CFL, dimmable LED;
this is an old Edison bulb, because it looks cool. Once I screw it in, then I can take
my phone, and using the app I can turn it on and off, I can dim, I can do nice slow
fades for things like alarm clocks when you get out of bed in the morning. So this is
our prototype, we built it here, this is The Mill, it's a hackerspace in Northeast Minneapolis,
we've got a lot of cool stuff, 3D printers, laser cutters, all that kind of stuff. We
spend a lot of time here, also a lot of time in a co-working space called CoCo where our
main office is. And this is Spark.
