This product is an LED light bulb with a built-in Bluetooth wireless speaker. It is miniaturized to the same size as a regular light bulb and can be used simply by replacing the bulb in a lighting fixture. Since no wiring or new installation space is required, it can be used to enjoy music in kitchens, bathrooms, and other places where it has been difficult to install speakers.
