                   equivalent 6,500K) and energy tracking. Consumers can
                   control bulbs individually or as groups, and schedule the lights
                   to turn on when arriving home from work or turn off during
                   daylight hours for increased savings.
                     Element uses 80 percent less energy than traditional
                   incandescent bulbs—it takes only 9.8 watts for an Element to
                   match an incandescent’s 60-watt output—and one bulb will
                   last approximately 22 years. Features are easily controlled
                   through the iOS/Android app or through popular smart home
                   ecosystem integrations such as Xfinity Home from Comcast,
                   AT&T Digital Life, Samsung SmartThings, Stringify and others.
                     As a bonus to the environment, Sengled will plant one tree
                   for each Element bulb sold, to offset the product’s carbon
                   footprint (tiny as it may be). This effectively makes Element the
                   world’s first carbon neutral light bulb.
