Smart Bulbs

Smart bulbs, also called smart LED bulbs or smart light bulbs, are energy-efficient bulbs that are controlled and customised using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or Z-Wave technologies. These LED bulbs provide greater convenience and energy savings than traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. A smart bulb is distinguished from conventional bulbs in that it can be controlled using a smartphone app, or voice commands through smart assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. These colour-changing smart bulbs offer customisable lighting, allowing you to set the colour temperature from millions of colours to create the desired ambience. Using a smart LED bulb automates your lighting schedules, helping to save energy and enhance home security.
