Why a Smart Bulb?

It is not just smartphones and smart TVs that have bombarded our lives, out homes, living spaces and even bedrooms are now adapting technology to facilitate easier and peaceful living for the residents. 

What is a Smart Bulb? Smart bulbs are like normal LED bulbs which can be controlled wirelessly. For a normal LED bulb, you have to control it manually to switch it on or off. However, with smart bulbs, you can control the bulb wirelessly with any of your smart devices like a smartphone, home assistant or tablets. Not only this, but you can also control the brightness of the bulb without even having to lift a finger. 

Smart bulbs are now becoming an important part of smart homes. Home automation systems make use of connected devices to make living a lot easier. You can use smart bulbs with home automation and create schedules for on and off times, brightness profiles according to the time of the day as well as select colours for the smart bulb. 

For most cases, smart bulbs will work seamlessly with home automation systems which can be controlled wirelessly via Bluetooth or wifi networks. It essentially means you can switch the light on and off without having to get up from your bed or having to leave an important work that you have been doing. Smart bulbs also support motion detection via home automation systems so that the lights can turn on when someone walks into the dark house. To sum it up, smart bulbs are an efficient way to integrate smart lighting and also connect it with other smart devices in the house for easy living.

Upgrading to smart bulbs is as easy as replacing your fused light bulb. You buy a smart bulb and replace it with the regular bulb.
