Feit Electric

LIFX, the renowned smart lighting company and its parent company, Feit Electric, are introducing four new lighting products at CES. From Feit’s Vista Skylight LED Fixtures and Katalyst Collection of ceiling fixtures to LIFX’s futuristic Smart Oval SuperColor Ceiling Light and the Luna Smart Lamp, these new additions offer unmatched versatility, customization, and simplicity, available exclusively at The Home Depot.

LIFX is set to impress with the 13 in. x 26 in. Smart Oval SuperColor Ceiling Light. Boasting advanced Polychrome technology with 120 color zones, customizable dual lighting modes, and seamless smart home integration, this stylish ceiling light transforms any room into a dynamic canvas. Consumers can create stunning gradients, flickering flames, fluffy clouds, or golden sunsets, all seamlessly controlled via voice commands, smart scheduling, or LIFX’s intuitively designed app. Available exclusively in-store or online at The Home Depot for $149.99 in February 2025.

This smart table/wall lamp puts customizable color and control at your fingertips. Whether it’s on your nightstand, your desk, or mounted on the wall, Luna offers stunning color control, unmatched simplicity, and powerful functionality.

Complementing the Smart Oval SuperColor Ceiling Light is the LIFX Luna Smart Lamp – a compact, versatile powerhouse perfect for desks, nightstands or wall displays. Featuring the same vibrant technology as its ceiling light counterparts, it includes 26 controllable color zones and up to 1000 lumens of brightness that can fill any room or create a cozy atmosphere. And thanks to cutting-edge, device-binding technology, the four built-in buttons can seamlessly control the Luna and any other LIFX or Matter-enabled devices, even without an internet connection. Matter integration ensures compatibility with major smart home ecosystems, making the Luna not just a smart lamp, but a focal point to grow your smart home. Available exclusively in-store or online at The Home Depot for $69.99 later this year.

“LIFX smart lighting is known for its rich colors and versatility. In the new year, we’re taking that further with next-level home upgrades everyone should experience,” said Mark Hollands, chief technology officer of LIFX. “Give these new smart lights a try, and you’ll see how they elevate your spaces into dynamic, expressive environments, offering limitless creativity and convenience.”

Enhancing Feit Electric’s robust lighting portfolio, the Vista Skylight LED Fixtures are designed to mimic the look of a skylight to create a sunny outdoor feel in any space. The fixtures come in three options—8 in. Canless Downlights for minimal aesthetics, 2x2 ft. Troffers for commercial spaces and sleek flush mount panels for those seeking modern, low-profile lighting solutions. Users can easily switch the mood of the light with MultiMode technology by toggling an existing wall switch to get an energizing skylight, balanced white light, or a relaxing light that looks like the evening sky indoors.

Then, there’s the Katalyst Collection, a testament to Feit Electric’s continued commitment to providing high-quality, adaptable lighting solutions. With three lighting modes (Area Light, Area + LED Downlight and Night Uplight) and five selectable downlight color temperatures ranging from 2700K - 5000K lumens, homeowners can seamlessly transition between cooking, working, and relaxing via a standard wall switch.

“We designed our Vista Skylight LED Fixtures and Katalyst Collection to offer robust customization with the utmost ease simplifying the experience for users within a beautiful design,” said Brian Halliwell, vice-president of business development of Feit Electric. “Our expanded portfolio empowers users to craft an ideal ambiance for any occasion, while fine-tuning their spaces to reflect their personality and needs—transforming any room into a personalized, stress-free haven.”

Available exclusively in-store or online at The Home Depot, Feit Electric’s Katalyst Collection fixtures start at $99.97 in matte black. The Vista Skylight LED Fixtures will be available later this year, with pricing to be announced.

Feit Electric Company, Inc. (“Feit Electric”), a leading global lighting and smart home brand headquartered in California, today announced that on February 2, 2024, it commenced a patent infringement action against Ledvance, LLC (“Ledvance”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Despite being warned by Feit Electric, Ledvance imported and then sold white LED filament light bulbs marketed under the brand name Sylvania.

Feit Electric introduced light bulbs with white LED filaments in August 2022 and the fresh alternative to the traditional yellow filament quickly appealed to retailers and consumers. Anticipating that other light bulb suppliers might copy the Feit Electric white LED filament bulbs, Feit Electric announced to the industry that it owns a set of patents directed to covering the yellow material used on LED filaments.

“Not only did we widely announce to the industry that Feit Electric owns a set of patents directed to covering the yellow material used on LED filaments, but we also specifically and directly informed Ledvance as well as retailers and other manufacturers” said Alan Feit, President of Feit Electric. “Despite those warnings, Ledvance went forward with infringing products.”

Feit Electric is seeking an injunction to bar the further importation and sale of infringing white LED filament light bulbs, for damages, and for enhanced damages and attorney fees for willful infringement.

“While we would prefer that our competitors respect our patents, we are committed to enforcing our patents against infringers if they do not.  We also hope that retailers look to us for light bulbs with visible white filaments, rather than infringers,” said Mr. Feit.

Feit Electric’s new line of white filament decorative lighting is available at The Home Depot and Ace Hardware stores.  For more information on Feit Electric’s white filament product line visit feit.com.

Last year we introduced the first ever white filament bulb on the market in response to user and retailer concerns about the distracting yellow filament found in traditional bulbs. Unfortunately, with every innovation come imitations. Today, we're announcing the issuance of patents safeguarding against white filament infringement. Our commitment includes enforcing these patents against those who attempt to replicate our white filament products.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Sept 19, 2023 – Feit Electric Company, Inc. (“Feit Electric”), a leading global lighting and smart home brand headquartered in California, today announced that its innovative light bulbs with visible white filaments are protected by a set of patents, the “white filament patents.”

“We spend a lot of time reading customer reviews and listening to retailer feedback,” said Alan Feit, President of Feit Electric. “And we started hearing that some consumers had concerns about the more distinctive yellow filaments in LED bulbs especially when the lights were off in a fixture without any shades. They loved everything else about the light quality, long life, and energy savings of LED but not everyone liked the look. So, we wanted to introduce a fresh alternative to the traditional yellow filament with a more modern and minimal style.”

Unfortunately, Feit Electric’s innovation is prompting others to copy and to offer likely infringing products to retailers, even after the suppliers and the retailers have been put on notice. The white filament patents are directed to a covering for the yellow material used on LED packages, including but not limited to LED filament packages and SMD LED packages: U.S. Patent Nos. 8,604,678; 8,610,340, 8,610,341, 8,614,539, and 8,957,585.

Mr. Feit noted that “We believe that our patents are fundamental and dominant for covering the yellow material used for LED filaments.” Mr. Feit also said that there are several misunderstandings in the market to clear up.

• Feit Electric has not licensed its white filament patents to any other light bulb supplier.
• Owning or having a license in any other patent that is supposedly directed to white filaments does not preclude infringement of the Feit Electric white filament patents – a patent is a right to exclude, not a right to practice.
• Another light bulb supplier supposedly has a patent covering white filaments. That patent is based on a patent application filed long after the Feit Electric white filament patents were filed, and such patent is therefore likely invalid in view of the Feit Electric white filament patents. And more importantly, we believe that it is not possible to practice that patent without infringing the Feit Electric white filament patents.
• It is our understanding that some LED package suppliers and/or some bulb suppliers have been offering a form of patent infringement insurance for a royalty. Patent infringement insurance is only as good as the entity offering such protection and it does not preclude a retailer from being sued and liable for patent infringement.

“While we would prefer that our competitors respect our patents, we are committed to enforcing our patents against infringers if they do not. We also hope that retailers look to us for light bulbs with visible white filaments, rather than infringers,” said Mr. Feit. Feit Electric’s new line of white filament decorative lighting is available at The Home Depot and Ace Hardware stores.
