LEDVANCE Announces First HomeKit Enabled Smart Filament A19 Bulb

LEDVANCE, the maker of SYLVANIA lighting products, has announced the world's first HomeKit-enabled smart Filament A19 bulb.

The HomeKit-enabled SYLVANIA SMART+ Soft White A19 Filament Bulb (MSRP $31.99) combines the future of the Smart Home with the retro look of the past, and is available for pre-order for Spring 2018 delivery on Amazon.com.

“Previously, the need for a hub and internet connection when installing smart devices was a barrier for many consumers who wanted to try smart lighting,” said Aaron Ganick, global head of Smart Business, LEDVANCE. “Our partnership with Apple – and our ever growing, industry leading HomeKit-enabled SYLVANIA SMART+ Bluetooth portfolio -- helps bring the benefits of beautiful smart lighting to more consumers in a way that is simple to install and easy to use.”


The company has also announced that the SYLVANIA SMART+ Indoor Flex Strip Full Color (MSRP $59.99) and Soft White A19 Bulb (MSRP $25.99) are now available for purchase on Amazon.com and HomeDepot.com.

The SYLVANIA SMART+ Soft White A19 Filament Bulb and Soft White A19 Light Bulb provide up to 650 and 800 lumens respectively, which is the same as a 40W and 60W traditional bulb, and can be wirelessly dimmed to provide just the right amount of soft white (2700K) light for whatever you are doing.

The SYLVANIA SMART+ Indoor Flex Strip Full Color can go from soft white (2700K) to natural daylight (6500K) and change to millions of colors. It has adhesive backing for a quick installation, and the malleable design makes it possible to contour around corners. With the SYLVANIA SMART+ Expansion and Connector Kits, you can create flat right angles around sharp corners and extend across surfaces that are not completely flat or where lighting is not needed. The Expansion Kit comes with two additional two foot strips, letting you expand the length of your lighting up to 20 feet.
