Voice Controlled Lamps

Imagine walking into a dark room, hands full of groceries, and simply saying, “Alexa, turn on the living room lamp.” No fumbling for switches, no setting down your bags – just instant light. That’s the beauty of voice-controlled lamps.

Upgrading to voice-controlled lamps is easier and more affordable than you might think. The key is smart bulbs. These bulbs connect to your home’s Wi-Fi and can be controlled through voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple’s Siri. You can buy smart bulbs individually for around $15-$30 each, or in multi-packs for better value.

Here’s how it works: You screw the smart bulb into your existing lamp. Then, you connect the bulb to your Wi-Fi network using the manufacturer’s app on your smartphone. Finally, you link the app to your preferred voice assistant. Now, you can control the lamp with voice commands! You can turn the lamp on and off, dim it, change the color (if you have color-changing bulbs), and even set schedules.

The benefits go beyond convenience. Voice-controlled lamps can also enhance your home security. You can set timers to turn lights on and off while you’re away, making it look like someone is home. This is a simple and effective way to deter potential burglars. Plus, if you have mobility issues, voice control can make a significant difference in your daily life, allowing you to control your lighting without having to physically reach for a switch.

For example, let’s say you want to upgrade three lamps in your living room. If each smart bulb costs $20, the total cost for the bulbs would be $60. While you can certainly DIY the installation, a professional electrician can ensure everything is set up correctly and securely, especially if you’re unfamiliar with electrical work. A typical service call to install smart bulbs might range from $75-$150, depending on the complexity of the setup and the electrician’s hourly rate. So the entire job would be under $250!
