continuing to expand its WeMo portfolio, Belkin introduces the Belkin Smart LED Lighting, giving home automation geeks yet another option when it comes to smart lightings. announced earlier today at the 2014 International CES, the Belkin Smart LED Lighting Starter Set consists of a pair of WeMo Smart LED Bulbs and a WeMo Link router hub, and together they join WeMo current line of home automation modules including light switches, motion switch and sensors, and more, for a complete home automation setup. well, we wouldn’t say the WeMo line of products is exhaustive as a home automation system, but rather it is one those system that allows you to mix-and-match a setup to your specific needs. after all, not everyone needs a Doc Brown’s lab for a home.
anyway, the Belkin Smart LED Lighting Starter Set allows you to control, schedule and dim your smart LED bulbs from anywhere in the world as long as you have connectivity and like the Philips hue, getting started is as easy as replacing the standard light bulbs with the WeMo Smart LED Bulbs. each bulb is equivalent to 60W bulb with 800 lumens of brightness and shines in 3000 Kelvin for a warm white light. the smart LED bulbs are control via WeMo Link through WiFi and the WeMo app (available for Android and iOS devices). to ensure flexibility in control, the bulb is designed in such a way that it can be control individually or in groups. for ambitious home automation geeks, you will be glad to know that each WeMo Link is capable of supporting up to 50 such smart LED bulbs, which should cover the lighting needs for most parts of your pad.
set to available this spring, the Belkin Smart LED Lighting Starter Set carries a retail sticker of $129.99, while additional bulbs can be purchased at $39.99 each.
