Anon shares on Wifi Lightbulbs. Can anybody who knows of this topic shed some light?
If you haven't heard about "LIFI" you will.
Following is a brief explanation:
"At its essence, LiFi operates as a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system, promising unparalleled wireless internet speeds. Central to this system are LED light bulbs. These bulbs emit swift light pulses, imperceptible to the human eye, laden with information. It’s akin to an advanced, hyper-speed Morse code. Devices fitted with the requisite receivers decode this influx of data at breathtaking speeds. Demonstrated potential transmission rates for LiFi have even surpassed 224 Gbps, a pace that dwarfs WiGig, one of the most rapid Wi-Fi technologies."
Except the government didn't specify WHAT lighting technology we use, it merely specified the efficiency standards. Fluorescent lights meet these standards too. But, indulging this for a second...
You think that 96 cent Chinese made light bulb you bought at Home Depot and screwed into a lamp you've had for 30 years running on a decaying power grid that is constantly having sagging and surging voltages is doing what exactly? Some visible light based network to spy on you with it's huge range of 32 feet?
Why would they go through all that trouble instead of just compromising your cell phone and the cable or DSL modems?
