There are a lot of things going on with \u2018hands-free\u2019 appliances lately and these bulbs are perfect for dipping my toes into wireless home technology.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a while since I have installed these LIFX light bulbs, so here are my thoughts regarding this amazing new piece of technology!<\/p>\n
We have also recently tried out and reviewed the Philips Hue range<\/a> of smart bulbs and were very impressed with them, now it’s LIFX turn. \u00a0Philips Hue vs LIFX brings it on.<\/p>\n The LIFX smart LED light bulb is controlled by its corresponding application over Wi-Fi. The application can be downloaded in different smart-devices. So whether you have a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch, you\u2019re sure to set the lights at your convenience. Apple or Android, they have an app for you.<\/p>\n Setting up the smart LED light bulbs only requires a few extra steps from the traditional light bulb set up. Log in to the app, find your light bulb, and add it to a room, set up done.<\/p>\n The LIFX application allows users to easily change the emitting light. The application is easy to use and has many light settings and features to choose from. Literally millions of colors and dimming levels. I actually like the Lifx app better than the Philips Hue it seems more user-friendly. Up to 100 LIFX smart LED light bulbs can be connected to the application. This allows it to all be controlled at once. They also make Light Strips called the LIFX Z<\/a> which are a great addition to the line up which can be automatically controlled by your phone.<\/p>\n The LIFX smart LED light bulbs are controlled through a WiFi connection. If you are using any other Wi-Fi connected device, you may notice a slight slowdown over a congested network. Users who use multiple light bulbs at a time may notice that some may have a delayed response time due to the congested connection.<\/p>\n LIFX claims that the LED light bulb can last up to 22 years. The catch? As long as it\u2019s used for only three hours a day. If you\u2019re like me, the lights are often on for a longer period of time. Its new tech so hopefully my bulb lasts 22 years.<\/p>\n Making everything wireless isn\u2019t the cheapest option as of writing. The LIFX lightbulb has to have extra electronics in it to provide the circuits for WIFI. This means extra costs. Although its price is constantly dropping, it is still pretty expensive. Price per bulb is slightly higher by a few dollars than the Philips Hue color bulbs.<\/p>\n As you can see the Philips Hue vs LIFX the specifications are very similar. I haven’t included the brightness and lux levels, as there are a few different bulbs in each range. They are either color or white only at different wattage’s and brightness’.<\/p>\nLIFX\u00a0Wi-Fi Smart LED Light Bulb review<\/span><\/h2>\n
