They add fun, variety and convenience to both home and gardens. We are talking about smart home light bulbs. Once screwed in, an inconspicuous bulb can have a big effect – provided it is smart. This kind of bulb can do all this:
Change the luminous colour from warm white to daylight white
Shine in all imaginable colours – the keyword here is multicoloured
Can be dimmed
Can be connected with other lights and bulbs in the home
Can be controlled by remote control, smartphone or tablet
You can easily save your favourite light scenario
Can be controlled by voice
Remote – can be controlled from your holiday
And, of course, they save energy and thus money – smart lights are based on state-of-the-art LED technology
Please keep in mind that not all smart home bulbs tick all of these boxes. It is worth making a checklist of the features that matter most to you.
At Lights.co.uk you can choose between smart lights from Philips, Osram, WiZ, iDual, Paulmann and more. Simply open the “Manufacturer” filter and choose your favourites.

Of course. It is not a problem at all for any light with a standard socket. Traditional light bulbs with an E27 socket can simply be replaced with an E27 LED bulb from Philips Hue or Osram smart+. And you will have a smart light.
Yes, some of them can. You can find more information in this overview:
Not all LEDs are smart. But all smart home bulbs are based on the latest LED technology - with good reason. LEDs save money and electricity and are good for the environment too. This modern technology also has many other advantages:
90% energy savings compared to traditional light bulbs
No toxic substances like mercury
Maintenance-free operation and a long service life of up to 50,000 hours
Immediately shine at 100 percent brightness when switched on
Greater variety in terms of design thanks to the compact lighting technology
You can easily find the answer to this question by using the “Base type” filter. You can choose between smart light bulbs with these bases:
B22
E14
E27
GU5.3 / MR16
GU10
If you switch to smart light but want to keep your favourite lights, there is no reason not to do so – as long as the socket fits. Do you have any questions about compatibility? Simply contact our customer service team. The contact information is listed below.
Are you interested in smart bulbs? One thing you know for sure: “I need that!” But perhaps you are not entirely clear about how you control the smart light bulbs? Here is some more information:
Smartphone & tablet
Control the light via an app on a mobile device – is that not the best solution? Not a problem. However, please keep in mind that it doesn’t work for all smart light bulbs. You are on the safe side with Philips Hue, Osram Smart+ and WiZ.
Voice control
You say “light on” and the light turns on. It may have seemed fanciful just a few years ago but it is now the reality. If you want this, buy a bulb from Philips Hue, Osram Smart+ or WiZ.
Remote control
Are you fairly flexible? But you want to be able to control the light from your sofa using a remote control? Then iDual and WiZ are worth a look.
Switch
You like modern technology but don’t want everything to run through your smartphone? If you would prefer a switch, you can opt for the Philips Hue Tab or the Osram Smart+ Switch. They are wireless, intelligent switches, which can be affixed to the wall or moved around the house as required.
Sensor
With a motion detector, there is no typing, pressing or swiping. The light comes on automatically when you or your dog enters the room. If you don't do anything, it will turn itself off again after a specific period of time. You can get motion detectors for Osram Smart+ or Philips Hue lights.
