You can buy two for just $5 saving you $23 off the regular price of $28. A saving of 82% is not to be missed and these light bulbs are a great way to dip your toe into smart lighting for less. Let’s take a look at why they’re worth it.

Why you should buy the Lenovo Smart Bulb

It’s easy to think you need to spend a fortune on the best smart light bulbs but that’s not always the case. The market for the best cheap smart bulbs is steadily growing with Lenovo keeping things super cheap here. The Lenovo Smart Color Light Bulb is compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant. It’s possible to adjust brightness and temperature to suit the mood throughout the day. You can also dim the lights or change colors to get things just how you like them. There’s a choice of 16 million colors as well as unable white which adjusts the light temperature from 2700K to 6500K.

Thanks to working with Alexa or Google Assistant, these light bulbs pair well with one of the best smart speakers if you’re trying to make your home setup smarter in every way. It’s also possible to control the light bulbs from anywhere with your smartphone thanks to the Lenovo Link Pro app so you can turn on the lights while traveling to make it look like you’re home, or even play a fun prank on your roommate or family member.

While the light bulbs might not be quite as feature-rich as something like the Philips Hue range, at this price, it’s hard to fault the Lenovo Smart Bulb. If you’ve been uncertain of the benefits of such a lighting system in your home, these are a great way to see how things go. We suspect you’ll soon be beguiled by how convenient they are and how much they grow on you.

Normally priced at $28, the Lenovo Smart Bulb 2-pack is currently available for just $5 at Lenovo. A huge saving of $23, this is truly impulse buy territory. You really don’t have anything to lose by giving them a try and you just might find you prefer them to traditional lighting systems.

Get up to 32% off Aqara smart locks for the holidays
Aqara Smart Lock U100 woman entering home with hands full, pet

At the risk of sounding dull, the key to the smart home begins with — in my humble opinion — the front door. Allow me to explain. One of the top recommendations I always give for people starting a smart home is to install either a video doorbell or a smart lock. When used together, they are a tour de force. You can let package couriers in temporarily to drop an expensive delivery inside your home -- instead of having it sit around outside for hours. You can also issue guest or temp keys for family, friends, and beyond. Which brings us to the topic of today, Aqara's smart locks. They do all of this and more and they're on sale today for a pretty hefty discount.

The Aqara Smart Lock U100 and Aqara Smart Lock U300 are the focus today, and you can get up to 32% off at Amazon from now until December 22. The U100 is $130 instead of $190, while the U300 is $180 instead of $230. Let's talk a bit more about what they can do.

Philips hue white and color ambiance light bulbs in box.

When it comes to smart home tech, one of the top brands that comes to mind for smart lighting is Philips Hue. Designed for plug-and-play connectivity, Philips Hue devices are easy to set up and a breeze to control. And if you’re operating a Hue Bridge, you’ll be able to control up to 50 different Hue products! Philips Hue deals can be a little hard to come by, which is why we’ve chosen to highlight this great Best Buy offer. Right now, when you purchase the Philips Hue A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack), you’ll only pay $80. At full price, this model sells for $135.

Why you should buy the Philips Hue A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack)
While investing in a Hue Bridge will unlock the full capabilities of your Philips Hue system, this A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack) can be controlled over Bluetooth, too. Do keep in mind this introduces range and device limitations, though, so going Wi-Fi might be a top consideration regardless. Not to mention, you’ll be able to control your Hue system remotely (Bluetooth relies on a host device to be nearby).
