Smart lights are an ideal way to try out home automation without too much of an investment to find out if a Smart Home is really for you.
Wirelessly connected LED bulbs aren't just long-lasting; they can be controlled via an app on your phone or through voice commands from a smart assistant such as Apple's Homekit environment, Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant.
You can also set them to turn on and off and even change colours automatically at preset times, or to set a particular mood.
This all happens via your home network. After a quick and painless setup process, your lights connect and are ready to go.

• Smart lights use LED technology and last up to 20 times longer than an old incandescent bulb.


• You can control them remotely from your couch at home or in another country. Voice assistant support means you can speak commands to any voice assistant device (such as a Google Mini, Alexa speaker or even your smart TV) rather than use your phone.


• A smartphone app allow for a large range of options such as grouping lights together, dimming or changing colour schemes, and creating special combinations of effects, called scenes. You can even have your lights turn on and change colour based on the time of day.


• Many smart lights can change hue and colour. This ranges from a limited white light spectrum (cool to warm white) up to 16 million colours, chosen by you from an easy-to-use palette.


• Ever have trouble finding light bulbs that are all the same colour tone? Different regular lighting brands disagree on the exact nature of terms like "cool white" and "warm white". Opting for an adjustable white or RGB (red, green, blue) colour light means you can have uniform lighting right through your whole house.


• Even better, you can change it up based on the time of day, such as enjoying white light when the sun is out and warmer colours as evening approaches. If you've ever wanted to mix things up with a splash of verdant green, vibrant red or any other non-standard colour, an RGB smart light does this without losing the day-to-day functionality of white tones – and you don't need two separate bulbs.
