Featuring INSTEON\u2019s award-winning technology in a sleek design, the INSTEON LED Bulb is a technological innovation sure to brighten both the connected home and personal technology industries alike.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Insteon Bulb\" src=\"\/images\/news\/insteonbulb1.jpg\" alt=\"Insteon Bulb\" width=\"250\" height=\"363\" align=\"right\" \/>\u201cFor years, home automation has controlled light fixtures with plug-in lamp modules, wire-in switches and keypads. But, until now, no one has controlled the bulb itself. It\u2019s exciting to be the first to introduce a new product to the world,\u201d said Joe Dada, chief executive officer, INSTEON.<\/p>\n<p>The INSTEON LED Bulb features simple setup, intuitive control and easy linking to any INSTEON controller, such as a handheld remote. When paired with the free INSTEON app, the SmartLinc Hub turns an iOS\/Android smartphone or tablet into a fully functioning remote control of the bulb or an entire INSTEON network. The bulb is fully dimmable and can be added to any number of scenes to create custom lighting at the touch of a button.<\/p>\n<p>The INSTEON LED Bulb contains INSTEON\u2019s patented dual-band communication technology, the most reliable, efficient communication system available. Just like other INSTEON devices, the bulb acts as a network signal repeater and sends signals over both radio frequencies (RF) and a home\u2019s existing wires (powerline).<\/p>\n<p>The INSTEON LED Bulb retails for $29.99.
