LIFX smart lightbulbs sell out Kickstarter pledges, raise $1.3 million in process

You may be dating yourself if your idea of a remote control light is clapping your hands to turn one on and off.

LIFX appears to have hit a nerve as their Kickstarter project, originally set up with a goal of $100,000, just hit the $1.3 million mark on the strength of over 9,100 backers who bought up all available pledges.
