Voice-Controlled LEDs

Ledvance's Lightify Bulbs are Compatible with the Amazon Alexa

— August 16, 2016 — Tech
The Amazon Alexa is a smart home assistant with spectacular features, and lighting company Ledvance is getting in on the device's capabilities with the new Lightify bulbs. The smart light bulbs connect to Alexa, meaning that after syncing the bulbs up with the Alexa app, consumers can control them with voice commands.

The Lightify bulbs are far more than just gussied up versions of 'The Clapper.' They have precise power controls as a result of smart dimmers, so users can ask Alexa to dim or strengthen the intensity of the lighting by exact percentages. Further, Alexa knows which room is which in a house, so a user can ask the system to dim the kitchen lights only while the living room stays bright.

The Lightify bulbs come in standard A shape, as well as B-shaped bulbs for strings of lights and potlights for outdoor lighting.
Trend Themes
1. Voice-controlled Lighting - The integration of voice control technology with lighting systems opens up opportunities for convenient and hands-free lighting control in homes and commercial spaces.
2. Smart Dimmers - Smart dimmers enable precise control over the intensity of lighting, providing users with the ability to customize the ambiance of their spaces.
3. Room-specific Lighting - The development of lighting systems that can differentiate between rooms allows for personalized and efficient lighting control in various areas of a building.
Industry Implications
1. Smart Home Technology - The integration of voice-controlled LEDs with smart home assistants like Amazon Alexa presents growth opportunities for companies specializing in smart home technology.
2. Lighting Industry - Lighting companies that can incorporate voice-controlled and smart dimmer technology into their products will have a competitive advantage in the market.
3. Outdoor Lighting - The use of voice-controlled LED bulbs for outdoor lighting, such as potlights, offers improved convenience and energy efficiency for residential and commercial applications.
