In theory, you can rotate for the light to point towards the wall, so it creates the mood, while youre playing songs over Bluetooth firing right at you. As for the LED lamp, it offers nine colors and five brightness levels.The press release says that both 3-in-1 lifestyle project and their smallest-ever UST projector are new concept models. There is no word on price and availability yet but I hope the PF600U transforms into a real product soon because Id love to have a projector thats also useful when not projecting.
