With LEDs and CFLs, the bulbs still convert electricity into light, but the methodology is totally different. Light output isn’t fixed to the temperature of a filament, which means there’s more wiggle room for differences in efficiency. With good engineering, a bulb can put out more light from the same amount of electricity. Simply put, unlike incandescents, LED and CFL bulbs are decidedly not created equal.

Produced in Belgium using water-based inks and FSC-certified paper, the Madeira wallpaper designed by Alexia de Ville of Tenue de Ville invites the mind outdoors when shown on a tented triangular form.

GE introduced a new line of LED bulbs—C by GE—that have Bluetooth radios, but these cannot be integrated with Alexa at this time. The company is, however, working on an interesting connected table lamp that will be Alexa compatible.

The versatile Brightech SKY LED Torchiere Floor Lamp has four dimmer settings to provide the perfect mood lighting and adjust to your lighting needs as natural light dissipates. The torchiere design of the Brightech lamp aims the light upward, providing light that spreads through the room.

Some shades work both for ceiling lights and lamps, a versatile option if you want to switch things up in future. Depending on your shade and bulb holder, you may need a ring reducer to ensure it fits comfortably. They’re rarely included with the shade, but are cheap to pick up online or in your local DIY shop.

“It’s about understanding what’s uniquely you and being proud of that,” she added. “Set goals, tell people about them, and work hard.”

LCH: We’re creatures of comfort, right? And you’re dealing with people’s homes. I mean, I love change, I love to redo people’s houses. And I agree that that’s why the more experience you have, the better you are at it. The more you’ve done it, the more they trust you.

Perhaps I should have written these things down at the start, before everything else. I’m not sure what the right order is.

Now that most incandescent lightbulbs are pretty much a thing of the past, consumers now must choose between LED (light-emitting diode), CFL (compact fluorescent), and halogen bulbs to light their homes. But which is the best option? It all depends on your needs. We’ll take you through the various kinds of lighting, and the benefits that each offers.

Yeah. I got one of these and just assumed they used some broadcom chipset. Would love to get tasmota on here (like all my sonoffs). Default firmware is pretty crappy in other ways; the encoder feels sluggish and unresponsive. Would love to map the encoder “click” to other functions on my network.

Beyond Alexa, you could also look for Apple HomeKit-compatible smart lights that work with Siri, or lights that work with the Google Home smart speaker’s Google Assistant. Many smart lighting options work with a variety of platforms, which gives you a lot of flexibility over how to build out your voice-activated smart lighting setup.

A large antique armoire that used to be in the master bedroom is now in the large living room, which also holds a second, smaller, vintage armoire, a baby grand piano and plenty of traditional seating.
