All five features of its LED+ portfolio are built right into the lights, so consumers won’t need an app or any additional hardware to unlock them, all concealed within LED luminaires, ready to be used.
“The average home has 45 light sockets, which is really powerful real estate to leverage for benefit past light alone,” explains Paul Williams, General Manager for Product Management and Growth at GE Lighting. The LED+ products are offered in 60-65-watt equivalencies. The battery backup option enables the light to remain “On” even in the case of a power outage. With that option, lights stay on for up to five hours, with a battery that is triggered when the power goes out. For extra convenience, simply unscrew the bulb to carry it around the house like a flashlight for illumination wherever it’s needed.
The speaker feature comes in two different LED+ speaker bulbs, a traditional A-line bulb and a BR for recessed can applications, that pull through music, podcasts and other audio streaming from a smart phone or Bluetooth device. The embedded speaker offers premium sound quality and hides discreetly within the ceiling or the light fixture, eliminating the need for bulky speakers on the counter.
The Dusk to Dawn feature available in traditional A-line bulb shapes ensure outdoor lights are always on when the sun goes down. A built-in ambient light sensor automatically triggers light to come on at dusk and turn off at dawn.
The collection of LED+ motion lights includes PAR bulbs and fixtures with a built-in motion sensor that turns the light on whenever motion is detected and turns the light back off after motion stops. It also comes with the dusk-to-dawn feature. Multiple bulbs can be linked together with the touch of a button so that when one is triggered by motion, all the linked bulbs illuminate.
The LED+ Color series of bulbs offers eight different colored lights and two different shades of white light in both a traditional A-line bulb shape, as well as a BR for recessed cans. Each includes a remote and provides two shades of white light for general illumination (Soft White or Daylight), plus vivid red, orange, yellow, pink, green, blue, cyan or purple hues, controllable and changeable at the touch of a button. Multiple bulbs can be control all at once.
