Smart Lights
Smart bulbs, light strips, bars, floor lamps and panel kits compared on the specs makers hide: colour brightness versus white, CRI, hub requirements, dimming floor and whether they survive an internet outage.
We compare 12 smart Lights from 8 brands — Philips Hue, Govee, Nanoleaf, LIFX, TP-Link, Wyze and 2 more — priced from $21.95 to $189.99. Each one is scored across 8 categories (Brightness, Colour-Output Honesty, Colour Quality & CRI and others), calculated from published specifications rather than opinion, which is what makes the 25 head-to-head comparisons below directly comparable.
