Smart Bulbs
Smart bulbs - Custom lighting at your fingertips
Smart light bulbs are an easy way to upgrade your home lighting with modern technology. Controlled via your smartphone app or through Wi-Fi connectivity, smart bulbs allow you to customise both the brightness and colour of your lighting to create the perfect ambiance for any room.
Why Choose Smart Bulbs?
Adjustable Brightness & Colour: Easily dim your lights or switch between warm and cool tones.
Set the Mood Instantly: From cosy and relaxing to bright and energising—smart bulbs adapt to your needs.
Control via App or Voice: Compatible with most smart home systems including Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.
Â
💡 Tip: Unlike standard bulbs that have a fixed colour temperature (printed on the box), smart bulbs let you adjust this setting through the app—giving you total control over your lighting environment.
Understanding Colour Temperature
Smart bulbs allow you to control colour temperature, while standard bulbs will have a particular colour temperature. Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K), This determines whether the light feels warm and yellow or cool and white.
