So many bulbs, so little time<\/h2>\n

Philips Hue bulbs might be among the most recognizable in the smart lighting space, but as you can see, they’re far from your only option. Surprisingly, the best alternative to a Philips Hue is another Philips product. Whether it’s the color-changing WiZ Connected bulbs or the all-white WiZ Connected bulbs, Philips now has your home covered for less money than ever. The best part? These don’t even require a hub to work, yet they can connect directly to your smartphone via Bluetooth or can be controlled by your favorite virtual assistant.<\/p>\n

LUMIMAN’s RGB Bulbs are another affordable pick that won’t break the bank. No hub is required. You get two bulbs for one low price and have 16 million colors to play with. As far as good values go, this one is among the best.<\/p>\n

No matter which smart bulbs you end up getting, you have a lot of great options to choose from for kicking off (or expanding) your smart home!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
