Bluetooth vs. Wi-Fi light bulbs
If you're new to the big smart world, light bulbs are always a good place to start. They're easy to set up, easy to control and give a quick insight into all that's possible - but what type of bulb should you choose?
The keen reader may have already realised that there are two types of bulbs: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Both bulbs are good choices, but it's important that you know the difference. Bluetooth bulbs and Wi-Fi bulbs are two different types of smart lighting solutions. They use different wireless technologies to connect and control the lighting. Overall, the differences can be explained as follows:
Bluetooth light bulbs:
- Bluetooth bulbs are light bulbs designed to communicate directly with devices such as smartphones or tablets via Bluetooth connection.
- They usually don't require an external bridge or hub as they connect directly to the control device that has Bluetooth functionality.
- Bluetooth bulbs are suitable for smaller areas and rooms as the range is usually limited to around 30 metres.
- They are easy to set up and operate via apps on your mobile devices.
Wi-Fi bulbs:
- Wi-Fi bulbs connect to your existing Wi-Fi network and allow you to control lighting from almost any location with internet access.
- They often require a central hub or bridge to function, which can be a separate device or an integrated part of the bulb.
- Wi-Fi bulbs have a greater range compared to Bluetooth bulbs as they rely on your Wi-Fi network.
- They allow you to create schedules, automate lighting and control it via apps on your mobile devices or voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
So in short, the difference is that Bluetooth bulbs connect directly to your device and have a limited range, while Wi-Fi bulbs are connected to your Wi-Fi network, have greater range and more control options. Your Wi-Fi bulbs can be controlled from anywhere that has an internet connection, so you can, for example, switch off your home lights from work or have your bulbs switch on just before you walk in the door.
Upgrade your smart home with smart lights
There are many reasons to upgrade your home - here's an overview of some of the things you can do with smart lighting:
- Remote control: One of the most obvious benefits of smart lighting is the possibility of remote control. You can turn on, turn off, adjust the brightness and change the colours of your bulbs from your smartphone, tablet or a remote control, wherever you are. This provides convenience and flexibility in lighting control.
- Energy saving: Many smart lighting solutions allow you to set schedules and automate lighting. This can help reduce energy consumption by switching off lights when they are not in use. You can also adjust the brightness as needed to save energy.
- Customisation: Smart lighting allows you to customise the lighting according to your preferences. You can change light colours, create different moods and even set the lighting to follow your daily routine. This is especially useful for creating the right atmosphere in your home.
- Integration with voice assistants: Many smart lighting products can be integrated with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit. This makes it easy to control the lighting by simply using your voice command.
- Security: Smart lighting can increase security in your home. You can set schedules that allow the lights to switch on and off even when you're not home, which can deter potential burglars.
- Updates and future-proofing: Many smart lighting products are regularly updated with new features and improvements via software updates. This means your investment stays relevant and up-to-date for years to come.
- Monitoring and consumption data: Some smart lighting products give you access to monitoring of energy consumption and lighting patterns. This can help you make informed decisions about energy efficiency and cost management.
- Creativity: Smart lighting opens up creative possibilities as you can experiment with different colours and light patterns to create unique lighting experiences.
In summary, smart lighting gives you more control, convenience and the ability to customise the lighting in your home. This technology can improve your quality of life, reduce energy consumption and increase safety.
