According to the person in charge of Sony, when initially proposed to develop LED ceiling lamps, it was opposed within the company. Moreover, the development of LED lighting has not progressed smoothly. Compared with lighting manufacturers, Sony lacks experience in developing such appliances, and therefore it is difficult to ensure reliability and the like.

However, Toshiba Lighting Technology agreed to jointly develop with Sony is a big opportunity, "the situation changes, product realization is possible." As LED lighting is also developed by Toshiba Lighting Technology, reliability issues are solved.

Toshiba Lighting Technology and Sony teamed up to estimate against Panasonic. Toshiba lighting technology in the Japanese LED lighting market share second only to Panasonic, ranked second. This situation has continued for a long time. It is estimated that Toshiba lighting technology is to break this situation and cooperate with Sony.

The functions that can be achieved by the smart phone sending instructions to the multifunction unit through the wireless LAN include: using the unit as a virtual infrared remote controller to operate the air conditioner and the television; controlling the home lighting when going out or automatically switching according to a preset time Home lighting. When operating outside, you must first connect your own wireless LAN router via the Internet and use this router to control the multifunction unit.

The multi-function lamp has a built-in human sensor, which automatically turns on the lighting and the TV when someone enters the room, automatically turning off the lighting and the TV when the person leaves the room. Through this sensor, it is possible to detect the dynamics of people in the room when going out and receive email notifications via smartphones.

The multi-function lamp also has a built-in speaker that can play music from your smartphone. It is also equipped with a microSD card or microSDHC card slot to store music data on the card for playback.

In addition to the speakers, the multi-function light is also equipped with a microphone, so you can use the smart phone from other rooms to talk to a room with a multi-function light. The message can be recorded on the multifunctional unit via a smart phone. When the family returns home, the multifunctional unit detects that someone has entered the room and will automatically play the message.

As lighting, this product has the function of adjusting the color temperature and brightness. The back side (ceiling side) of the lamp is equipped with an LED atmosphere lamp, which can emit light of various colors such as red, green, and blue.
