5 Benefits to Smart Bulbs

Smart bulbs aren't your average LED. They don't just sit in a socket and light a room like your basic bulb. Smart bulbs are called smart for a reason. They can wirelessly connect with phone apps, a capability that opens major possibilities.  

LED lighting saves energy and smart bulbs can save you even more!  By using motion sensors, you can ensure your lights only switch on when someone walks into the room, which can be ideal for hallway or landing lights, especially in the middle of the night.  As a bonus, smart bulb installation is easy.  A smart bulb supports different base types and various down light selections.  Simply replace your existing incandescent bulbs; no need for any specialized wiring.

Here are the top five benefits of integrating smart LED light bulbs into your life.

1. Dimming

The most basic feature of any smart LED light bulb is its ability to dim. While this isn’t a new technology, the way that smart light bulbs go about this is far different than what you may be used to.You won’t need to install a dimmer switch as the bulb itself can adjust its level of brightness entirely on its own.

2. Control

The best smart light bulbs come with a built-in application that can be controlled from a mobile device. This means that you can control your lights even when you aren’t home. This is especially useful for security purposes when you’re out of town or to save electricity while on vacation.

3. Colors

The ability to control and dim lights are one thing, but a lot of the best smart light bulbs introduced in 2016 feature the ability to change color as well. Whether to simply change the feel of a room or to help set the mood for a holiday, the fact that you can change the color of the lighting so easily makes smart LED lights that much more appealing.

4. Music

This one is a little out there, but some introduced built-in speakers. With these smart LED lights, you can have music in any room without needing to set up an entirely separate sound system.

5. Sleep

Some smart bulbs emit different color temperatures that are specifically designed to increase the body’s melatonin production and help you sleep better. The reverse function of this works too, helping to reduce the production of melatonin during the day to increase your productivity.

Cost Savings, improved home safety, easy setup and having fun controlling lights on your smartphone are great reasons to upgrade your home to smart bulbs!
