Bright in more ways than one

Each TCP LED bulb is fully automatable on Android and iOS devices through TCP's free app. They also give off an impressive 800 lumens of light -- comparable to 60-watt incandescents.

Big brain, small footprint

The TCP hub that controls the bulbs plugs into your router and won't take up very much space on your shelf.

No compatibility concerns

TCP's bulbs use a standard E26 base that should fit into most common household light fixtures.
