WHAT ARE SMART LED GLOBES?

A smart LED globe is a cutting-edge internet-connected light fixture that offers remote customization, scheduling, and control of its lighting. It's one of the most popular and successful products in the rapidly expanding home automation sector. Utilizing wireless transmissions, a smart globe allows users to adjust and personalize the emitted light from anywhere, at any time. Additionally, LED globes usually provide a full spectrum of RGB colours, though for budget-conscious options, single-colour globes are available.

DO SMART LED GLOBES HAVE A LONGER LIFESPAN COMPARED TO STANDARD LED GLOBES?

Typically, standard LED globes have an average lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours, whereas the best performance you can expect from a smart LED globe is around 15,000 to 25,000 hours. If longevity is your top priority, then choosing a standard LED is the better option. However, if you value the added benefits of smart features and find the price justifiable for those extras, then going with a smart LED is the way to proceed.

IS A HUB NECESSARY FOR SMART LED GLOBES?

The distinction between smart bulbs that necessitate a hub and those that don't lies in their suitability for different preferences. Smart bulbs without the need for a hub are designed for hassle-free users, requiring only a wireless connection and a smartphone app for control. Their installation is straightforward and simple. However, it's essential to note that their connection strength may not be as reliable as those requiring a hub, as the built-in Wi-Fi of these bulbs may not match the reliability of hub-based connections. If you're currently only interested in smart lighting and don't require a hub for other devices like smart locks or blinds, the smart bulbs with built-in Wi-Fi and no hub requirement are the perfect choice for you.
