Thunderstorm for LIFX

Rain and lightning effects for your LIFX lights

Features & Capabilities

Summon a thunderstorm light show using your LIFX lights. Watch your lights pulse and flash to the sounds of a storm.*

THUNDERSTORMS

• Strong Thunderstorm — Heavy rain with frequent lightning and thunder nearby

Lights pulse quickly to the sound of heavy rain. Booming sounds of thunder accompany bright flashes of light.

• Normal Thunderstorm — Steady rain with a full range of lightning and thunder

Lights pulse to the sound of rain. The sound of thunder can be heard from various distances. The closer the lightning, the louder the sound, and the brighter the flashes of light!

• Weak Thunderstorm — Light rain with occasional lightning and thunder far off

Lights pulse slowly to the sound of light rain. Dim flashes of light are followed by soft sounds of thunder.

• Passing Thunderstorms — Rain and lightning intensity changes as the storms pass

Lights pulse and flash at different rates to correspond with the current strength of the storm.

Works great while music is playing and love all the effects. It does have problems reverting all my lights to original colors/brightness levels when going to sleep. Half of them go back, have to fix the other half through lifx app after each storm.
