The one more important feature of this product is that you can also charge your phone with the base provided with this bulb if you are not using it as bulb. But your phone should support induction based wireless charging facilities.It is a very eye catching product if you look it. But if you look the price it is costly. On their official website it is US$349. You can also buy it from amazon.com by this link at the same price.
Conclusion:
I would say the product looks awesome. The technology they used for this is amazing to watch. But at the same time we think that we are paying it for a bulb only. I would say it is very costly but if you like these kind of innovative products, this products will be bought by you.
