This is far cheaper than buying new smart bulbs. Emberlight essentially connects to the user's WiFi network to allow them to control their lightbulb remotely from a smartphone, tablet or computer. To install Emberlight, all you have to do is screw the adapter into a light fitting just as you would a lightbulb. Your bulb then screws into the adapter. The companion Emberlight mobile app then allows you to connect the device to your [home WiFi network](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-switch1) so you can control it remotely. Emberlight allows you to manually increase and decrease brightness, set bulbs to fade up and down at certain times and load [mood lighting presets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifx-luna). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Lightbulb Conversion:** Adapters like Emberlight enable users to convert their regular lightbulbs into smart bulbs, offering a more affordable alternative to buying new smart bulbs. - **Internet of Things Connectivity:** Emberlight connects regular lightbulbs to the Internet of Things, allowing users to control their lighting remotely from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. - **Personalized Lighting Control:** Emberlight's companion app enables users to manually adjust brightness, set timers, and create customized lighting presets, making it a solution for personalized lighting control. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smart Home Technology:** The smart home technology industry can leverage smart lightbulb adapters like Emberlight to offer cost-effective and convenient lighting solutions to consumers. - **Internet of Things (iot):** The IoT industry can benefit from the implementation of smart lightbulb conversion, enabling more devices to connect and communicate with each other. - **Mobile App Development:** The mobile app development industry has an opportunity to create innovative lighting control applications like Emberlight's companion app, providing users with enhanced convenience and customization options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Matter-Enabled RGB Bulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoleaf-2.md) - [Down-Lighted Smart Light Bulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze.md) - [Smart Ambient Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-varmblixt-smart-lights.md) - [Smart Light Dimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wemo-smart-dimmer.md) - [Smart Lighting Ecosystems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kajplats.md) - [Smart Fairy Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-fairy-lights.md) - [Connected Outdoor Floodlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atomi-smart-wifi-led-floodlight.md) - [Second-Generation Smart Home Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eve-flare.md) - [Smart Candle-Warming Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-candle-warmer-lamp.md)
