rateCheck the physical fitting
Confirm socket type, bulb dimensions and the fixture’s requirements. Read compatibility information for any existing dimmer instead of assuming every smart bulb works behind it.
Smart lighting
Choose connected lighting around your fittings, controls and household routines.
Begin with the light you want in the room and how people will control it. Smart features should fit the existing switches and routines rather than make basic lighting harder for the household.
What to compare before choosing
Choose the control system
Check whether a hub is needed and which functions work with your chosen app or controller. Confirm the exact compatibility statements for the model rather than a general brand promise.
Plan everyday operation
Consider wall controls, guests and power interruptions. Decide how people will turn lights on without reaching for a phone and what happens after a switch is turned off.
