Cree Connected LED Bulb Review
$14.97
L l l l m
If you’re looking to make the jump to connected lighting,
but you don’t want to spend well over a thousand
dollars to outfit your entire home, you can’t go wrong
with the Cree Connected LED. It’s simple to set up and
control and casts a very pleasant white light.
GE Link Connected LED Review
$14.97
L l l l m
All told, the GE Link is pretty much interchangeable with the Cree
Connected Bulb, The GE Link has a nicer design, but when powered
on, we prefer the way the Cree bulb diffuses light. For the (same weirdly
specific) price, you really can’t go wrong with either one.
LIFX Color 1000 Review
$59.99
L l l l m
The LIFX Color 1000 bulb is brighter than the Philips Hue and just as
easy to control. And aside from HomeKit support, it nearly matches
the Hue ecosystem in terms of big-name third-party integration. But
$60 is a lot to pay for a single bulb, especially when you’re planning to
put a bunch of them around your house. But if you’re looking to give Wi-Ficonnected
lighting a try without investing in a hub, the LIFX Color 1000 is a
solid option.
