A quick unboxing of the Sengled Element Touch 60w smart bulb. Home automation and making your home smart isn’t going to be cheap but, fortunately, one of the easiest way you can ad some IQ to your home is with some low priced smart light bulbs.  The Sengled Element Touch bulb is about the cheapest you can get on Amazon right now.  But price fluctuates so it’s always good to get as many as you can when you can. I used to buy Cree Smart Bulbs for about $15 each but now they’re $35. Go figure.

There’s really not much to say about a smart light bulb except for this Sengled. This bulb has a button. This button allows you to be able to manually dim the bulb or turn it completely off. It also lets you reset the bulb or prepare it for pairing.  Other bulbs I’ve had to reset have made me go through a process where you have to turn the bulb off for so many seconds and then turn it back on for so many seconds and you have to do that five times. My neighbors probably think I’m crazy. So the button is actually super practical.

Some Highlights of the Sengled Elemet Touch:

• Requires a hub. Works with Smartthings, PEQ, as well as iControl platforms like Xfinity.
• Local on/off and dimming control via BUTTON on the bulb.
• 9.8w
• 800 Lumens
• A19 Bulb
• Heavy and squat
