What are Smart Bulbs?
Smart Bulbs are remote, usually blue tooth or Wi-Fi controllable light bulbs. Many smart bulbs are compatible with Google Home, Apple Home kit, Alexa, ZigBee, Nest and IFTTT .There are other smart light control systems available.Depending on your selection you can choose high efficiency fixtures set brightness bases on time or occupancy, color and tone.Smart bulbs are LED based lighting and many time more efficient than incandescent bulbs. Smart Bulbs typically last up to 15000 hours about 7 times as long as a regular light bulb.
Smart light bulbs are the fastest growing segment of the smart home category because they tend to be affordable and there are a lot of options.All those options, are companies competing for your money and this means there will be some terrific deals Black Friday 2018 and Cyber Monday.
LED lightbulbs are the most energy efficient option you can make for your lighting – they save 85-90% of the energy used by a traditional incandescent (and are about twice as efficient as a Compact Flourescent, or CFL) and last years longer as well (13-22+, depending on the brand, and up to 25 times the lifespan of an incandescent). In addition, they don’t get hot, meaning the cover is plastic, so they are shatterproof – no more broken glass for those who are klutzes when installing, those with kids who don’t always obey the no ball in the house rule, or for bulbs used in outdoor fixtures that may be hit by windblown objects. Those who have installed CFLs in recessed or other upside down fixtures may notice they can burn out faster this way, but LEDs do not have this issue. In addition, LEDs come on immediately without the warm-up delay of some CFLs. There are specific kinds necessary for dimmable lamps, as well.
LEDs work differently than the incandesent bulbs invented by Thomas Edison, with the wires completing the circuit, or CFLs, a gas bulb (which contains minute amounts of mercury and must be properly disposed of https://www.epa.gov/cfl/recycling-and-disposal-cfls-and-other-bulbs-contain-mercury) – the tiny diodes emit light when electrons pass through semiconductor materials. This technology has been around since the 1960s but has only more recently become a popular technology for home lighting features.
While the cost of regular LEDs has gone down drastically, one of the more expensive versions remains one of the most useful – the “smart lightbulb” or “hue lightbulb,” named because they are controlled by devices other than traditional switches in the home, such as home assistants from Google or Amazon Alexa, and because they can turn different colors (hues) aside from their regular white/soft white colors (some bulbs have millions of color options). Having the ability to have Alexa (or your favorite home assistant) turn on a light in the foyer, dim the lights, or change up the color while entertaining, can be very fun as well as quite useful.
Many utility companies offer discounts on regular LED lightbulbs or even ways for them to help you get them installed in your residence and/or business, but these programs usually don’t include smart lightbulbs. Black Friday is a great time to upgrade your lighting, and grab a home assistant at the same time!
