Since the launch of the smart home in 1998, a lot of things have been automated, including bulbs, which have grown interestingly smarter.

Abode, a company designed to provide the most comprehensive and flexible all-in-one DIY smart security solution is set to launch a new smart bulb in CES 2022 in Las Vegas. Called the Abode Full-Color Smart Bulb, this latest addition to the company's growing list of smart home products offers a standalone solution as well as an option to integrate smart bulbs with a full-featured smart home security system.

Luminance and smart bulb colors

In the world of lighting, a lumen is the measure of the amount of light a bulb generates otherwise known as the bulb brightness. Typically, the higher the wattage, the higher the lumens and the more light output there is.

The Abode Full-Color Smart Bulbs feature 800 lumens, which is not overly bright and not too dim. Since one lumen is equivalent to the brightness of one candle, 800 lumens is equivalent to the brightness of 800 candles.

The latest smart lighting from Abode also comes with full-color RGB bulbs that are dimmable. These feature a 90+ color rendering index with a wide color index range that users can turn from warm white to cool daylight. It is ideal for homeowners who want to personalize or customize the lighting of their homes.
