Almost every modern product, from space heaters to smartphones, contains at least one LED. Most have several LEDs. The same goes for DIY and personal projects. The only thing all these indicators and illuminators have in common is that someone somewhere had to decide their color, brightness, and behaviors, and it probably took a surprising amount of work to make those decisions. Lumioto helps by removing all the technical hurdles, and replaces them with a sophisticated palette that connects directly with your creativity.

It’s so easy and flexible that there’s no delay between wanting something and seeing it. Want blue? Set it to blue. Red? Sure, red. Back to blue again, this time a slightly greener blue, but not quite so bright, and with a subtle, comfortable pulsing? Just a few seconds. You’re the boss; Lumioto just works here.

Maker Kit

Lumioto is based on Arduino, and plenty of you already have one of those. If you’re familiar with Arduino, the Maker kit is probably what you want. It costs less, but you have to supply and program your own Arduino UNO R3.

Designer Kit

Don’t know Arduino? That’s okay. With the Designer Kit, you don’t need to be into electronics to use Lumioto. It’s the same as the Maker kit, except it comes with an Arduino preprogrammed with the freshest Lumioto firmware. It’s ready for action right out of the box, down to the included USB cable.

Extra Cables

Spares and replacement cables are also available if you need more than the three that come included. Available 3 more at a time, in either the "inline" or "angled" style of LED termination.
