After purchasing a Logitech Litra Glow I was unable to find any support for linux. I created a python project which reverse-engineered the basic functionality of the litra glow so that we can control it via USB without using the physical buttons on the device. It also now supports the Logitech Litra Beam. This project is the port from python to go.
# If necessary, create a udev role to grant permission to access the light
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/82-litra-glow.rules <<< 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="046d", ATTR{idProduct}=="c900",MODE="0666"'
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/82-litra-beam.rules <<< 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="046d", ATTR{idProduct}=="c901",MODE="0666"'
# For most operating systems, reloading udev rules is enough
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger
# For others, a reboot may be required
# sudo reboot
# Command Line Interface
lcli --help
# User Interface

A basic UI can be launched to allow control of the light:
