talking about the LC2 ; they are so hard to find so the prices are going through the roof !

I bought myself a LC2 for euro 80,= on MP [at least I thought I did because he agreed] but now several people are offering him amounts up to euro 175,= and he mailed that the deal is off, because he can get more money for it [what a gentleman, not?] strange and sad what money can do to certain people ? for me it's not the money issue [although the prices are certainly going up for certain second-life B&O stuff] but the agree issue that bothers me...............:-(

.. and it has very very very bad radio reception!!! The LivingColor is placed 1m behind my Ouvertre.. so not directly visible.. when the Ouverture is blocking the view: no reception... when I move a bit to the left/right... so when the LivingColor is visible then there's reception... but absolutely not good...if I'm 2m from the LivingColor then the reception is excelent!

But... It's definitly a nice addition if you want to have a special atmosphere inhouse :-)

As the remote does not transmit "IR" but uses wireless means you would need to use a "Translation box" such as the Lintronics to use it with the Beo5

It is definately not a radio remote. You have to point to the lamp to be able to control it. Sounds like a nice chalenge though. You can set multiple lamps to respond to one remote. So there are channels involved. If you pay over 149,- euro, you pay to much.

It is a radio remote I am thinking now... so no chance I think.

Let me know what you think of the product. I'd like to know if it is bright enough or if it only work in a dark room.

How much are they?
