Joining the likes of the innovative lighting brand's other multi-purpose bulbs, the Sengled Voice smart bulbs released at CES 2016 merge the worlds of security, communication and technology. The bulbs light up at the sound of a number of situations, including potential emergencies like glass breaking and smoke alarms ringing as well as babies crying and dogs barking.
In addition to conveniently lighting up a room so that home owners can deal with the former situations, the Sengled voice bulbs also send notifications to the company app -- facilitating a security response in the case that people are injured or in danger.
Finally, the bulbs also make simple daily life more convenient by responding to voice commands. Tell the lighting system to dim up or down and it will do so, allowing consumers to control the lights from the comfort of their beds during morning wake ups and relaxing bed times.
