This $28 Wi-Fi connected light bulb changes colors without an expensive hub

If you don’t feel like spending over $50 on a Wi-Fi connected light bulb, this offering from Loftek-Sansi is a great alternative. It changes colors too!

Wi-Fi connected lightbulbs are all the rage right now. Throw some colors into the mix and people lose their minds. When Wi-Fi connected light bulbs hit the scene, they were highly expensive. Not to mention you had to buy a central hub to connect all your lights to. Luckily, the market has changed and just about everyone is offering their own kind of color changing bulbs.

Today’s example comes from Loftek-Sansi. It’s a $28 Wi-Fi connected LED light bulb that changes colors via a smartphone app. Just download the Stellar Wi-Fi app and you’re good to go. The bulb is capable of providing over 16 million colors plus there’s a wide selection of preset scenes. You can even sync up music to your lightbulb. When it comes to actual light, it outputs 800 lumens. The equivalent of a 60w bulb.

We had some time to mess around with it and although setup wasn’t as easy as it was advertised, we finally got it up and running and was very pleased with the end results. At the end of the day, it’s an affordable solution.

If colors aren’t your cup of tea, Sansi also offers a traditional warm white dimmable LED light bulb. Sure, you won’t get all the fancy colors like the one mentioned above, but it’s still capable of offering great lighting.
