LoLight
A living room in the evening. One warm strip behind the couch throws a pool of light up the wall; the rest of the room falls away into the dark.

Lance’s living room, as LoLight sees it.

A picture of your home, lit by your own lights.

Walk a room with your phone; Hue and Govee light the picture LoLight makes.

The picture is true

Your home, lit the way it really is.

Lance’s living room, the evening.

The three the app shows first:

The lights in this room

Ten real fixtures. Three are in rooms this camera cannot see.

Nothing here is a filter. The bake works out each light’s own contribution to the room separately; this page adds them together in linear light and tone-maps the sum exactly once, with the app’s own exposure and curve. Off → one lamp → the evening are three of the thousand-odd pictures those ten switches can make, and every one of them is arithmetic the app already runs.

Your pieces are yours

Three honest states, and we say which.

A close look at the couch in the picture, built from photographs: the seat cushions show torn seams where the photo texture breaks.
Lance’s couch, built from the photos he took walking the room. The torn seams in the seat are real — that is what his couch looks like to a phone, and we did not tidy it.

The way in

Three things, once.

  1. 1 Walk the room. Hold the phone up and go round it slowly, once.
  2. 2 Connect your lights. The Hue and Govee you already own.
  3. 3 The picture arrives. About ten minutes, the first time.

LoLight is invite-only while it is small, so the way in is a note rather than a store page.

The whole condo seen from above at an angle, every ceiling lifted off: the living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and balcony, with three lights on in the evening.
Lance’s home, all of it, the same evening.
