For the Dorm

SYLVANIA SMART+

Available for pre-order now with delivery in September, the SYLVANIA SMART+™ A19 Full Color Light Bulb is Apple HomeKit™-enabled, which means all you need to do is screw the Bluetooth-enabled bulb into any lamp in an apartment or dorm, sync it to the Home app, and it can be easily controlled through Siri or Apple Home on an iOS 10 device – even if you are away from home.

This bulb is different from any other smart lighting product on the market, as it doesn’t require a separately purchased hub or an internet connection to use. It is dimmable and can be set to white or various colors.

The user-friendly Home app allows users to control all HomeKit accessories in one place, including lights, temperature, locks, garage doors, scenes and more, making it a great command center for your Smart Home.  LEDVANCE, maker of SYLVANIA general lighting in the US and Canada, will be adding a HomeKit-enabled SYLVANIA SMART+ A19 Soft White Light Bulb, Indoor Full Color Flex Strip, and Plug to the portfolio for purchase in the near future, adding even more ways to customize and control your Smart Home.
