Nine major mainstream LED intelligent lighting solutions
In addition to robot vacuum cleaners, Bluetooth showers, and mirrors that can play music, smart lighting systems have gradually entered the realization of people. So what are the smart lighting systems available on the market today? A few days ago, there was a technology website to take stock of this.
1. Philips Hue
Price: £179.95 for the entry kit, £49.95 for a single bulb
Philips Hue has been around for a while now. This system not only gives you more intelligent lighting control, but also creates a different atmosphere for your room.
By using a smartphone, the user can control the switches of the LED bulbs in the system, set the timer switches, and adjust their brightness and color at will.
The Philips Hue Starter Kit includes 3 bulbs and a wireless dock that controls up to 50 bulbs, while the extra bulbs are priced at £50/piece.
2. MK Electric Astral
Price: starting from £45.99
Honeywell's MK Electric Astral system allows users to control the lighting of their lights or adjust the brightness through their own iOS devices.
Astral does not require the user to purchase a special light bulb, but the user needs to replace the existing switch and connect the so-called "smart interface" to the router. The companion app allows the user to see which lights are on and allows the user to turn them on or off remotely. Users can also set different scene modes. If you have a special preference for watching movies, you can set them through the app.
Astral also offers a holiday mode that allows your home to turn off the lights every day for long periods of time, leaving outsiders feeling that your home is always inhabited.
3. Belkin WeMo Smart LED Lighting
Price: £99.99 for the entry kit; £39.99 for the smart light bulb; £49.99 for the smart switch
Belkin's WeMo range includes a wide range of networking devices, including WeMo Smart LED bulbs and WeMo Light Switch, both of which allow you to control your lighting system via Android or iOS devices.
WeMo Smart LED bulbs need to replace your existing bulbs, but you will be able to control them anytime, anywhere using WeMo Link, Wi-Fi and WeMo applications.
Like the Philips Hue, the WeMo Link Smart Hub can also control up to 50 bulbs and support individual and group control. The life of these bulbs is said to be up to 23 years.
Belkin's WeMo Light Switch is designed to replace the ordinary light switch in your home, allowing you to use your smartphone anywhere to control their opening and closing.
4. LG Smart Bulb
Price: $49.99
LG released its own smart lighting solution earlier this year. Like the products of Belkin and Philips, LG's smart light bulbs also need to replace your existing light bulbs.
LG's smart light bulbs can be controlled by IOS or Android devices, not only to set the scheduled time to turn on and off, but also to control its brightness.
LG said that its smart bulbs can last up to 10 years (5 hours a day). Although the color cannot be changed, when the mobile phone has an incoming call, these light bulbs can alert the user by blinking.
In addition, Android users will enjoy the convenience of the party mode. In this mode, these smart bulbs can follow the music from the smartphone for flicker and brightness adjustment.
5. LightwaveRF
Price: £26.99 (1G 250W light switch)
LightwaveRF is not just a smart lighting system, it also controls your entire smart home, whether it's heating, electricity or lighting.
This is a very clever system, all the user needs to do is replace the socket and switch at home. Once installed, you can use these switches and sockets as usual, but they now add remote control and allow you to monitor your home's lighting, power and energy usage from your networked devices.
LightwaveRF's companion app lets you set up routines based on your daily activities, because everything can be controlled remotely, even if you're away from home, it can make your home look like someone else.
6. Elgato Evea
Price: £39.95
Elgato Evea is a brand new wireless light bulb that, unlike its competitors, does not rely on a smart hub to pair directly with Bluetooth devices. Users can control Elgato Evea through the companion iOS app. The app provides a variety of different preset color scenes. In addition to the 7 preset scenes, users can adjust them according to their own preferences. In addition, it provides a wake-up function that slowly increases the brightness to simulate sunlight. In the same scene, multiple bulbs can work together.
Evea uses a 7W, 430 lumen bulb with a life of 25,000 hours.
7. General Electric Link Smart LED
Price: $50 for the entry kit; $15 for the Link bulb/only
GE's Link is a networked LED light bulb that allows users to remotely control and work with other networked devices. Link's companion app is called Wink, which also controls General Electric and Quirky's Aros air conditioners.
You can control single or multiple links via Wink. It also sets a timer to control the lighting's switching and brightness depending on the position.
8. LIFX
Price: 10 sets for $910; single for $99
LIFX is a project that originated from Kickstarter. It also allows users to control using a smartphone, but the connection is Wi-Fi, not the Bluetooth of the phone. With Android or iOS apps, you can control whether LIFX is turned on or off, brightness adjustments, color changes, and even a light show based on the music being played.
Like many smart light bulbs, LIFX also provides a wake-up function that automatically wakes up users by automatically adding brightness. Similarly, it can be gradually darkened to help users fall asleep.
Although the price of LIFX is relatively high, its life expectancy is reported to be 27 years. Other technical parameters of this bulb include 17W maximum brightness, 130 degree beam angle, 1017 lumens, and pearl white and bronze ash colors.
9. Lumen Smartbulb
Price: starting at $45
The Lumen Smartbulb is a multi-colored LED bulb that can be easily controlled from a smartphone app. It connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth, so there is no need for a Wi-Fi hub. The Lumen Smartbulb itself consumes only 1/6 of a 40W bulb, but its brightness is similar.
With the matching application, the user can adjust the brightness and color of the light bulb (16 million kinds). It can also flash with the music playing, reminding when the mobile phone receives an incoming call, or gently wake you up from your sleep.
