Lamps & Modules

At ArcLED, we offer a range of smart light bulbs to help you enjoy the convenience of this technology. Our smart bulbs are available in a range of designs, compatible with various systems. These LED bulbs offer versatility for your lighting, especially if you choose a dimmable bulb or a colour changing bulb. Be fully in control of the lighting in your home or business space with easy options for instantly changing the colour or brightness of your bulb.

Which smart LED bulb is the best?

There are many brands of LED smart light bulbs available but we recommend checking the specifications of the product to help you choose the best smart LED bulb for your system. At ArcLED, all our bulbs are high quality so it is more about the requirements of your set-up. 

Think about the style of bulb you need and the specs, such as connection range, wattage and voltage. There are additional factors to consider such as whether you would like your bulb to be dimmable and colour changing.

In particular, if you would like the option to dim your lights, it is important to choose a specific dimmable LED smart bulb as dimming a normal LED bulb may lead to flickering and damage to your system. LED bulbs have extra parts if they are dimmable to give them the capability to change brightness. Use a dimmer switch and check the power capacity of your system to make sure you aren’t going to overload it.

Choosing the colour of your lights is more of a personal choice than a system requirement. While you will need a controller or phone app to change the colour of your lights, much of the electrical system is the same as a non-colour changing bulb.

As you can see, there are many factors to consider when installing your LED smart bulbs. If you are setting up a new system, we always recommend hiring a professional to carry out the electrical work and ensure the products used are compatible and safe. If you are simply, switching from a normal LED bulb to a smart bulb, you may be able to complete the task yourself as long as you have checked the specifications.

Our Customer Services is manned by experts who will be able to help you with technical questions and advise on your project. Whether we are talking to a tradesperson who is looking to make a business purchase or a DIY customer, looking to do a home improvement, we can offer the level of support you need. 

What does a smart LED bulb do?

An LED smart light bulb is mainly desired due to the capability to manage your lighting remotely. From simply being able to turn your light on and off from a device or controller to adjusting the brightness and colour. With the right system in place, you can also use timers to automatically control your lights which is a great option for security and also very helpful for accessibility. 

Do smart bulbs raise the electric bill?

LED smart bulbs, like all LEDs are energy efficient meaning they are low cost to run due to their low consumption of energy so you won’t need to worry about a rise in your electric bill. If you are changing from traditional halogen bulbs, you should notice a decrease in energy use and therefore cost, even if you have chosen a smart bulb. LED smart bulbs do use slightly more electricity than standard LED bulbs because they use some energy to remain remotely connected to your controller or device whereas normal LEDs are controlled using a switch.

Can I put a smart bulb in any lamp?

Usually, you can put a smart light bulb in any lamp as long as the connection is compatible. You may find that older lamps do not have the right connection for newer bulbs. Make sure to check the power output of your lamp to ensure it matches the bulb. With the various sizes and fittings of LED smart bulbs available at ArcLED, there should be an option for your lamp. If you need any assistance choosing the right smart bulb for your lamp, contact the ArcLED team.

What is the best LED colour to sleep with?

Choosing the best LED colour to sleep with is all about working with your circadian rhythm. We already know that bright screens such as smartphones are unhelpful for promoting good sleep so we need to look at the opposite end of the spectrum. While we are not experts, those who have researched the best colour to sleep with recommend warm colours such as red and amber. These soothing and calming colours emit a low level of light to help you get a restful night.

LED smart lamps and modules are available for use in a variety of locations. Make sure your product matches the location; for example, if you are using your LED bulb in a bathroom or outdoors, it will need to be waterproof. We know you will have the best night’s sleep, the best ambience or an inviting business space with our collection of LED smart lights. Choose the best LED smart bulb for your purpose and enjoy the transformative effects of having the perfect lighting for your space.
