LED Light Bulb

Light bulbs – we all need them, but truth be told, they're just a little bit boring. Smartbunch is hoping to change that with its modular light that lets you design your own table lamps and overhead lights with its LED triangles that snap together to make all manner of 3D shapes.

Thanks to a research partnership with the municipality of Dubai, Philips has developed a range of LED bulbs that are claimed to reduce electricity consumption by up to 90 percent when compared to incandescent bulbs and will last up to 15 time longer, too.​

While getting a dedicated bug-zapping light could help keep mosquitoes at bay, not everyone wants to bother buying such a device. Well, that's why the ZappLight was created. It's an LED light bulb that goes into a regular socket, and it reportedly kills mozzies.

Most LED bulbs offering wireless connectivity look and perform similarly, but consumer experience still varies as it generally comes down to the execution of the companion app. We lit up the LED bulbs in MiPow’s Playbulb Studio to see how well they shine.

It's not always practical or cost-effective to have a sound system in every room of your home. If your light bulbs could play music, however, it would kill two birds with one stone. Well, Sony Japan has unveiled precisely that: an LED light bulb with a built-in Bluetooth speaker.

The marketplace for LED light bulbs has become just a little more crowded, as Philips has announced the 75-watt equivalent version of its SlimStyle bulb. With an output of 1,100 lumens, it's a significant step up from the existing 60-watt equivalent model.

One device that's leading the connect home charge is the light bulb, with products like The Lumen Smart Bulb and LIFX LED light bulbs all featuring connected coolness. Now, GE is entering the space, as the company has just announced Link, a connected LED bulb with a fairly reasonable price tag.

Looking to add further functionality to its range of smartphone-controlled hue light bulbs, Philips has announced a kinetic-powered switch to extend control over color settings to times when your smart device might be out of reach.

The designer of the Trioh! Aims to make a flashlight so attractive that you'll want to show it off and keep it close at hand should the power go out.

Eighteen year-old engineering student Chris Rieger has spent the last six months building his LevLight system, where an LED light module floats in mid-air while wirelessly receiving its power from a coil hidden inside a wooden box.
