Bringing the Internet of things(the smart home concept), closer to reality, General Electrics unveiled a $15 bulb, called ‘Link’, that lets one to stay on the couch and control the lights.
The “Link” light bulb costs $14.97, which is honestly a low price tag. The upcoming Berklin LG or Philips Hue Light bulbs in the same line will be costing $30 and $40 per bulb.
The Link bulb is controlled by the Wink app (available for iOS and Android) from Quirky. In addition to switching lights on and off from anywhere (not just your couch), the app lets you schedule things like on/off times and brightness. For anyone who wants more control over their Wink-controlled devices, a Wink hub will be available July 7 for more control of a variety of connected devices including the Aros smart air conditioner.
The Link comes in three flavors: A 60-watt replacement LED bulb for lamps; an LED indoor floodlamp and an LED brighter indoor/outdoor floodlamp. The $15 price is for the LED bulb for lamps. No word on what the other two lights will cost.
The lights will be available for pre-order from ‘Home Depot’ on Monday, June 30 and available at Home Depot stores this fall.
So, this was all about upcoming smart LED for your homes, and definitely there will be more options soon. Additionally, just for your information there exist other cool LEDs that help plants to grow indoor. These lights are called LED grow lights. This technology was discovered by NASA, and now available to end-user.
