Upcoming Wyze Bulb Color smart lights have a bright future

Have you dreamed of outfitting your home with smart lights? Many people have, but outside of a few starter kits, many smart lights are prohibitively expensive. Even $15 per bulb is outside the budget for a lot of people. The new Wyze Bulb Color is set to change that. These bulbs are affordably priced at $35 for a pack of four and packed with features.

The Wyze Bulb Color has an impressive luminosity range, too. The bulbs can drop as low as 35 lumens or as bright as 1,100 lumens; in other terms, they can range from 2 watts to 75 watts. This range allows them to serve as utility lights or as ambient lights depending on your mood.

And like the biggest names on the market, the Wyze Bulb Color boasts more than 16 million colors. That’s the same number of colors as the Philips Hue and the Lifx bulbs, but for a fraction of the cost. In addition to the colors, these bulbs have a lot of temperature options, too. The Wyze Bulb Color ranges from 1,800K, a warm white color, to 6,500K, or cool light. It does this without sudden jerks or changes in illumination.

To add to the list of impressive features, the Wyze Bulb Color is rated higher than 90 in terms of CRI, or in its Color Rendering Index. This means you can more easily distinguish the color of items under a given light source; in other words, these bulbs are excellent for use in closets. You won’t have to worry about mistaking navy for black when trying to choose a shirt.

Finally, you can set schedules and program your lights to remind you of certain tasks or provide important information. For example, your Wyze Bulb Color might turn blue on the day you need to take your recycling down to the road, or you can set it to turn red if the color outside is higher than 90 degrees.

The bulbs will work with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and you can also set up features like Sleep Routines, vacation mode, and numerous other automation and scheduling options.

The Wyze Bulb Color will launch soon at a suggested price of $35 for a pack of four bulbs, plus any shipping fees. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to equip your home with smart lights, these are a great place to start.

This smart display alternative just added a powerful new feature to help track your chores
A person using the Skylight.

Skylight is responsible for a variety of smart display alternatives with a focus on organization and schedule planning. Last summer, it launched the premium Cal Max -- a 27-inch smart calendar that we called a “streamlined smart display alternative.” Since its arrival, Skylight has continued to roll out new features to the device, and now you’ll find a powerful feature called Routines available across the Skylight Calendar lineup. Designed to simplify chores and build good habits for the entire family, it’s a unique new feature that changes how you interact with the display.

The idea behind Routines is simple -- offer visual feedback and an easy-to-use interface to make it easier than ever to keep track of (and complete) all your chores. These can be set up on a recurring schedule, allowing you to program in everything from a quick 15 minutes of reading before bedtime or a few minutes each morning for your kids to brush their teeth. Routines can be customized with various emojis and color-coding to help keep track of them, and a fun confetti animation is triggered once they’re complete.
