Top 5 smart bulbs: Mi Smart Bulb, Philips Hue and more

We have started relying on our smartphones or our voice assistants for most of our work. The introduction of smart bulbs gives us more control in the palm of our hands. These bulbs allow us to turn them on or off and change colours without event getting up from our comfort zone. Here are the top five smart bulbs available in India.

Mi LED Smart Bulb

Xiaomi India recently launched the Mi Smart Bulb in India for an attractive price tag of just Rs. 1,299.  The smart bulb does not require any sort of bridge, which makes it just a plug and play device. Users can control the bulb using the Mi Smart Home app or they can even link their Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant with the smart bulb.

Philips Hue

Philips Hue is one of the most popular ranges of LED smart bulbs. Unlike, the Mi Smart Bulb, the Philips Hue lights require a bridge, which means the setup process can include some hassle. As they are smart bulbs, they can be controlled by the user using the Philips Hue mobile app or through voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

Syska Smart Bulb

Syska's 7W Smart Bulb is available for just Rs. 799. Just like most of the other smart bulbs, this one is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. There is also a 9W variant available that just costs another Rs. 100 extra. Also, both the bulbs use the old school B22 pin type socket.
