Smart lights at home have improved over the past years. From a simple bulb that lights up a room, advanced technology has added some features for smart bulbs.
Some of them can now allow you to control the brightness and even set your desired color except for the standard yellow or white light. It even gets interesting now since you can turn them on and off using digital assistants such as Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri.
Others are integrated with HomeKit. This means that you can easily control them through your smartphone regardless of location and types of devices.
With that, here's a list of HomeKit-integrated smart bulbs that you need to check this 2022.
Best HomeKit-Supported Smart Bulbs
Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance A19
When it comes to smart bulbs, you might already encounter Philips. This known brand established its name in this business as one of the most prominent bulb makers in today's market.
Its Hue Color and Ambiance bulbs did not undergo major changes since their release in 2012. Philips guaranteed that its products would last longer than the previous models.
This next-gen smart bulb is fully operational with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. You can also take advantage of its rich color palette and Bluetooth radio, per Macworld. When it comes to its assembly, you don't have to worry since it's very easy to set up.
The only downside that it has is the requirement of a hub so it can be operated remotely.

Nanoleaf Essentials A19 Bulb
Another HomeKit-compatible smart bulb that you can check this year is the Nanoleaf Essential A19 smart bulb. According to Reviewed, it boasts a multi-faceted design on top of being Thread-enabled.
Aside from having HomeKit support, it has a neat design for aesthetics and ease of use. If you are looking for a bright smart bulb, then this is the perfect choice that you are looking for.
If the previous bulb is Alexa-enabled, this smart bulb does not work with Amazon's AI assistant.
LIFX White
For those tight with their budget but want to own an affordable and high-quality smart bulb, your go-to option could be LIFX White. Its low price is what makes it more eye-catching for the users.
Although it is inexpensive for its type, LIFX White won't let you down with its features. For its life span, you can expect that it could last for over 20 years.
As a smart bulb supported by HomeKit, you can incorporate this with Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa. However, don't expect it to be as bright as the other smart bulbs available in the market.
