Things to consider when choosing smart bulbs If you have already decided to turn to the latest in lighting with smart bulbs, you need to take into account some issues when choosing them in order to take advantage of all their benefits: 1. Light quality As with other standard bulbs, the quality of light produced by smart bulbs also varies.

Possibility of RGB light Although it is not essential, one of the advantages of smart bulbs is the fact of being able to get the colors that best fit with each space and time in a simple way. And is that having RGB light not only allows to vary the color temperature, but also the color itself. 3.
