‘ComfyLight’ is an intelligent lightbulb that is designed to detect intruders. Although there are a number of [high-tech security systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-security-solution) available to consumers, these systems can be expensive and difficult to install. ComfyLight provides a simple and affordable home security solution for consumers.

ComfyLight is a smart lightbulb that serves a variety of security functions. First and foremost, the light simulates the homeowner’s presence by switching on and off in a natural rhythm. If an intruder is detected, the lightbulb will send a direct message to the user and warn nearby neighbors of the security breach. When not being used as a security light, the lightbulb can be used to provide a [soft LED glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-varmblixt-smart-lights) in any room. ComfyLight thus functions as a simple security system that can detect intruders and warn consumers if someone is in their home.

The smart lightbulb provides a simple way to make burglars think that someone is home even when the house is left unoccupied.
