Introduction

They say that every color has its meaning. Warm colors like Red and Yellow symbolize passion and happiness, while cool colors like Green and Blue represent freshness and calmness. So many people think using specific colors for their bedroom might invoke that feeling. Want to feel calm? Just change the light to Blue!

If you live in the 1960s, you’d need to buy countless light bulbs with different colors to achieve the effect above. You would also need to go up there and manually change the colors whenever you want to experience a specific mood. The hassle alone would turn the Passionate Scarlet light into a Raging Red in your head. 

Thankfully, we live in the future where 1 bulb can have millions of options as far as the color of the light they are casting!!! There’s something called Smart LED Light Bulb Technology now. In a nutshell, it means you can choose any colors you can imagine with an app—millions of colors in a single light bulb. You can finally have the power of the bright sun in the palm of your hand.  While you might be thinking do I need this, you are also at the place that shows you how to do lots of awesome home DIY projects with LED lights. So we love lights as much as anyone else.

If you live in a Smart House or are in the process of teaching your house to be wise, then these kinds of smart light bulbs would fit right in. Of course, you’d need something like Apple HomePod or Google Home first as a central control for everything. And since threading this path means you are ready to spend money on high-quality, premium technology, Nanoleaf Essentials A19 can be the correct Smart Bulb for your home.

Our hands-on review of the Nanoleaf Essentials Smart LED Bulb:

Nanoleaf Essentials A19 Smart LED Light Bulb is an easy-to-use product that will save you both money and time. This light bulb is energy efficient, so it will help lower your monthly electricity bill. We liked that it was easy to screw in the same way every other light bulb does, and the app lets us change the colors, so the bulb goes out quickly. The one thing we can say is that it is super easy to setup and use, and you can see that in this video as well, so if you need this type of product and looking for it we say it is a great choice:

Do you need it?

We found only a couple of different times you might ever need to use this bulb. First, you want to have different colors light up your room. People love DIY LED Clouds for their rooms with lots of colors, so maybe adding this can complement it.

You might also use it at a party that has a theme like a valentines day party and want a reddish room or something like that. But for ordinary people, we didn’t ever find a time where we thought, man, this is so awesome we are going to change all the lights so we can change all the colors to our rooms whenever we feel like that. We can’t lie that this room looks awesome, but do we want to sit in it? Probably not more than a little bit, and for sure not everyday. So we think that this is more along the lines of awesome to look at , but not so awesome to have everyday:

Having a bad day, let’s make the rooms blue… so we can feel even worse? Want to feel like you are in hell? Maybe turn the heat up high and make the rooms bright yellow and red? Not sure why you would like to do that, but we think the product is excellent at what it does, but we aren’t sure how often you will use it, so we can’t suggest getting one.

Final thoughts on this magical LED bulb

 Just buy low-wattage LED bulbs to save money versus conventional ones. You don’t need this for every room in your house. One room, maybe, multiple rooms, probably not.
