The direct-to-consumer subscription model is reaching the lighting sphere. Emerging companies are offering curated, thematic lighting «experiences» through subscription boxes. A box might include smart bulbs, perhaps a new lamp, and access to exclusive app content—like light scenes synced to a specific music genre, meditation guide, or gaming atmosphere. This model focuses on discovery, entertainment, and ongoing engagement rather than a one-time product purchase. It caters to consumers who view light as a dynamic medium for lifestyle enhancement. While still a niche, this approach tests new ways to commercialize light, shifting the value proposition from hardware ownership to access to ever-refreshing software-driven ambiance and content.
