Wonderful news from the guys from Izhevsk, just recently started sending devices to investors with Kickstarter . Today, the new Lightpack has become available in the Russian store at a price of 2999 r. Moreover, the price is lower than international, and the price already includes shipping by EMS. I wrote a review of the last revision of the device and the user’s differences there are few. Of the innovations, this is support for Android , but so far in test mode. The whole principle of operation is described in detail in the project wiki .
Lightpack is an open-source device for lighting the monitor and enhancing the presence effect when watching TV. Depending on the chosen settings, you can either enhance the effect for movies and games, or keep your eyes safe if you often have to work at the computer in the dark. Anyway, Lightpack in less than 15 minutes is mounted on the back wall of your monitor, TV or laptop and highlights the surface behind it with actual colors.

The software analyzes the image on your monitor and sends data about it to the board via USB, which, in turn, illuminates the wall with the appropriate RGB-LEDs with the appropriate light. Most of all, the effect resembles the illumination of Philips Ambilight TVs.
Hello.
We know how long you waited for this and remember how many times we postponed the start date of sales of the updated Lightpack. Conscience did not allow us to start selling it before we set aside our obligations to Kickstarter bakers. And last week we completed them.
Therefore, today you can buy Lightpack (model T) in our Russian-speaking store without any pre-orders. Delivery will be made directly from our warehouse in Hong Kong by EMS courier right to your door. For the European part of Russia, its term does not exceed 10-14 days. Shipping cost is already included in the cost of the device.
We perfectly remember that people from Russia and the CIS countries supported, encouraged and believed in us long before Kikstarter, so the price of the device for Russia today is much lower (2 990 rubles), than for the rest of the world ($ 120 without delivery ). Despite the fact that this price offer is limited, we have a sufficient number of devices to satisfy all those interested - it is not necessary to rush and panic.)
Guys, thanks again for waiting and believing in us.
I will say in advance that I have nothing to do with the lightpack, and if you have questions, it is better to ask them in the project blog or in the store . And finally, we are waiting for a post from atarity , as we launched Lightpack into production, probably a very interesting story.
