Ambient and color smart lights help you personalise your environment according to your mood

During IPL season, you can set the smart lights in the room to match your team’s colours and personalise the atmosphere. If they are sound activated, apps can change the bulbs depending on the audio or scene on the TV, they can flash wildly when a six is hit or a wicket is taken to bring a little of that stadium atmosphere to your home.

If you want a romantic dinner, then they can be set low, with warm emotional hues fading in and out to create that by-the-fire or by-the-beach feel to set the right mood for your date. Or, if you go to the other extreme they can help a kids slumber party with some spooky lighting for story time and then a gently darkening light to help get them off to sleep.

These are just some examples of what can be achieved with a single smart bulb, all the way up to a house loaded with LED strip or smart lamps designed just to set the right tone or mood.
