Smart Bulbs

Smart bulbs are the stars of the smart lighting show. The Aeotec Multi-Color Bulb, Nordlux Smart Bulb RGB, and the Lasco Wifi Eco Bulb offer an array of colors and adjustable brightness that can be controlled remotely via your smartphone or through voice commands with your smart assistant. With these features, smart bulbs definitely offer the most versatility for lighting up your smart home.

Smart bulbs are best used in rooms that only use one main light source, like bedrooms, bathrooms, or hallways, to easily control your setup. However, it’s also great for living rooms or entertainment areas where you can make the most of its functionality, like matching the light with music or setting the mood with its assortment of colors.

Smart Switches

Want to start transitioning to a smart lighting system, but unable to replace every light bulb in your home? Smart switches offer an alternative solution. These work just like any regular light switch, turning your lights on or off, but they also give additional smart benefits like remote control via smartphone or voice commands through smart assistants, as well as scheduled usage.

By installing smart switches, like the Crabtek Smart Wall Switch, you can get these benefits without having to replace all your bulbs with smart lights. That’s why these switches are best used for rooms with multiple lighting fixtures, like the kitchen or living room, or for rooms that use specialty lighting fixtures and can’t be fitted with smart bulbs.

Not all of our home’s lighting can be equipped with smart bulbs. Some are also not connected to wall switches. From standing lamps and desk lamps, to the occasional holiday decorations like Christmas lights and parols, these standalone light fixtures can be converted with the use of smart plugs, like the Crabtek Smart Plug Adapter. Just plug your lights in and it will give you the same smart benefits as a smart wall switch.
