The best light strip yet

After its early launch in the US, the Philips Hue OmniGlow Lightstrip is now also available in Germany and other European countries.

Friday was Halloween again. I don’t really have anything to do with it, but here in our neighborhood, you can’t avoid having lots of children ringing your doorbell.
