Smart lighting

You can control smart lights for home from anywhere 

Traditional light bulbs have switches to operate them. Everytime you want to switch off the lights, you have to walk over to the switchboard. This can be a little frustrating and time consuming, especially when you have an important task at hand, or before heading to sleep, or when you have multiple lights.

Perhaps the biggest and most attractive aspect of a smart light bulb is that you get to control it from wherever you want. IKEA’s lighting range includes some of the most minimalistic models that are very easy to install. With a gateway that is sold separately, you can connect this smart lighting to your IKEA home app.
