Smart phones, smart homes, smart cars. This week, Samsung unveiled another &#8216;smart&#8217; thing: a smart LED light bulb, called simply Smart Bulb.<\/p>\n<p>The idea behind the smart bulb is that this is a light bulb that can be controlled from an app on your phone or tablet. A connection to up to 64 bulbs is made via Bluetooth, and then you&#8217;re able to control these individually or en masse. Most previous smart bulbs have required a Wi-Fi connection with a router in the middle; using Bluetooth is simpler and cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>The bulb is able to dim to 10% brightness, and can provide light from a warm 2700K to a cool 6500K. Each bulb has a life expectancy of 15,000 hours, or about 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also possible to automate the control of the bulbs using a third-party ZigBee Bluetooth hub, allowing automatic turning on and off of lights to match your schedule or to make your home appear occupied while you&#8217;re out, deterring would-be thieves.<\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Smart Bulb is expected to cost around $30 (\u00a318), although final UK pricing is yet to be confirmed. That means it&#8217;s quite possible to outfit a room or an entire house without incredible expense.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Samsung Smart Bulb or to place your pre-order, visit the product page linked below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung-smart-bulb-44836\">Samsung Smart Bulb<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks for checking out the article and be sure to let us know what you think of the new tech in the comments below!<\/p>\n\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.27.4 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px 0 0px 0;text-align:center;\">\n<div id=\"bari-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything is smart these days.
