Luxafor Flag LED USB Busy Light Indicator (59 inch Cable)

I use Luxafor to show my team how concentrated I am. Red does not mean they can't talk to me - but they should think twice before interrupting me. Green means they can interrupt me at any time. I like that Luxafor is simple and functional. You install it with a magnet where ever you want it to be seen and connect it via USB. The downloadable software is easy to use. You change the color using presets or a slider for free color selection. You can adjust the brightness also. If you want to connect the product to third party software or an API, you can do that.

Cord Is way to short, it won't reach the top of the monitor, wish I got the longer one, I didn't see that option until I already purchased them both. it cannot used without software but the website on the packaging does not connect to a website. I bought two, neither can be used when I connect it to the computer it lights up white then goes dark. Nothing happens afterwards. I went to the website listed on the packaging, Luxafor.us/download and it says their server is down I also went to luxafor.us and luxafor.com nothing. all other websites work I checked my computer, I tried another computer and same problem. I will open the second one and see if I have a problem with that one. but so far extremely disappointing. I was looking forward to buy the bigger ones but not anymore, I will shop around for other companies that their websites work

i've used it for a couple weeks then it won't light up anymore

Love this so far. I wish the software had more adjustable presets on Mac for the menu drop down. Brightness is adjustable, fantastic product.

I bought two of these. One for my office and one while I travel to my various remote offices. People in my offices continually walked up behind me and asked if I was on a call since they could not see my Bluetooth ear peice in my ear. Most of the time the answer was YES. That's no longer an issue. I use the included software to connect the light to my Skype at work. It automatically changes color based on my calendar which is integrated with Skype (RED Busy, GREEN Available, etc.). I can also change the color manually if necessary when I need time to focus on some work. Now no one asks if I am on a call or busy. I used velcro stickers to attach the one to my office wall and the other to the top of my laptop while I am traveling.What a great product! I highly recommend it.

I know the primary selling point for this is to notify your co-workers of your status in the workplace, it does that fine. However, I purchased the flag with the primary intent to have it notify me when I receive an email in my business email. (that's run through Gmail) It's a listed feature, the day I get it, I plug it into my computer and when I attempt to sync my Gmail in the free software and sign in through Google; it denies access to my account due to Google considering it a security issue. I contact the help email of Luxafor, to their credit, the email response was fast. Their feedback was that they were attempting to sort things out with Google, and so they provided a list. Among the items they suggested, they suggested going through the "email process" (which is simply a more in depth process of locating your email ID and changing settings on your Google account) after that process, Google still denied it. I also could disable security functions for my Google account to allow it, which would allow any software (malware or not) to install itself onto my account, they recommended not do that. The last option would be to download more third party softwares on top of the Luxafor software to enable it. At this point it's become too frustrating to enable something that has a basic and simple function. Once that's stripped away, you're left with little more than a 30 dollar LED light that you mount to your monitor. I sent it back with the return label in packaging 8 days ago and my refund has yet to be deposited into my account. If it doesn't soon, this review is changing to one star.

The flag is small enough to not be a distraction, but large enough to be seen from the hallway. The light is nice and bright and it works well with Skype.

Now that I'm working physically in the office, I needed to have a visible way to signal my co-workers when I was needing to work uninterrupted. This does the trick 😀
