Fluora 2025 Wrapped!
Happy New Years! To celebrate, we wanted to do our version of a 2025 year in review. We’ll call it Fluora Wrapped! 
  • We sold our most Fluora ever this year! Over 6,200 units were made and sold, which filled 5x 40 foot long shipping containers, each sent via Ocean Freight from our factory partners in China to our warehouse in California
  • Our most popular product is the Fluora Mini! We made over 3,200 units this year.
  • We produced over 50,000 LED leaves this year. Thats enough LED Leaves to cover a basketball court!
  • 750,000 LEDs make up the products we’ve sold this year. That’s 15 times the LEDs on the largest LED tree in the world, The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in New York City, which has 50,000 LEDs.
  • Almost 500,000 people visited our website this year. That’s an average of 1,388 people a day!
  • We launched a new product, Monos. Monos saw us go in a completely different design direction the our previous two products. Seeing it resonate with new and existing customers has been incredible!
  • We hired two more people to help us with Firmware Engineering, and Customer Care and Support!
  • We flew 5 of our team members out to China over 2 separate trips. Flying around the world to solve problems with our suppliers has been extremely fun and rewarding.

 We also built some fun art installations this year!

Here’s to more light in 2026 ✨🌱

Designing the Monos Experience

Aug 19, 2025 Posted by: Aaron Oppenheimer
Designing the Monos Experience
Time for the finale of our three-part story of Monos - Designing the Experience.
 
One of the things we pride ourselves on is “experiential design” - designing experiences for others. We forged this skill over the last 10 years of creating art installations for hundreds of thousands of people. 
 
Designing the experience is where the magic is made - ensuring the hardware, software, and programming all sing together in harmony to tell a story, to invoke different emotions in our audience.
 
Jake, one of the founders of color+light, is primarily responsible for this experiential design. Here’s what he had to say about Monos:
 
With Monos, we set out to create something truly distinct. Our dynamic, immersive lighting engine is at the heart of the product, so it was essential to give it the right canvas. We designed internal dividers inside the Monos shade to separate the canvas into 5 distinct faces.
 
By enabling each face of the Monos to animate independently, we unlocked the ability to create richer, more saturated visuals that are more exciting, and have more dimensionality to them. 
 
Additionally, instead of settling for a typical plastic-looking lamp shade, we chose high-quality acrylic that offers a refined, glass-like appearance. 

These two elements combine to form a depth of immersion we have not seen in other products. With this canvas, we aspire to be able to invoke feelings similar to sitting under a sky full of stars, cozying up next to a fireplace, or feeling the morning sun.

And finally, to make the interaction feel seamless and intuitive, we added an IR sensor that lets users control the lamp with a simple wave—no buttons, just a little bit of magic.
