Versions are available with a color temperature of 4000K (cool white) and 3000K (warm white).
NliteN intends to raise money for the production of lamps 2D-Lite LED Disk on IndieGoGo . For 60 days you need to dial in the amount of $ 250 thousand in the case of success, selling lamps begin in spring 2014 at the initial price of $ 9.99.
