Samsung already sells LED lighting products in several countries. Today Samsung announced their first Smart Bulb with Bluetooth support. This lets you control 64 bulbs directly from a smartphone or a tablet using an application. It doesn’t need bridge,wireless connection, equipment or any tedious set up, says the company. LG unveiled a similar Smart Bulb earlier this week with built-in Bluetooth 4.0 that lets you control it using Android and iOS devices.
The Smart Bulb can be dimmed down to 10% brightness and is CCT tunable from 2700K (arm white) to 6500K (cool white). A Smart Bulb would last for 15,000 hours (based on 4-hour use per day) so you can approximately 10 years, says Samsung. It also supports Zigbee Smart Bulb so that you can control it from anywhere.
Samsung would showcase the Smart Bulb and other LED products at Light + Building 2014 in Frankfurt, Germany from March 30th to April 4th 2014. It is not clear what we can see the Samsung Smart Bulb in the market or how much it would cost.
