Let’s take a detailed look at it, check all of the technical specifications and see exactly what it has to offer.
DESIGN & SPECS
The Sengled Smart Multicolor LED Starter Kit comes with two (x2) Sengled Smart LED Multicolor A19 Bulbs that measure 2.4 inches in diameter by 4.3 inches tall and weigh 4.16 oz (each lamp), as well as a Sengled Smart Hub (works via Zigbee tech.) that measures 3.07 inches long by 3.07 inches wide by 1.02 inches tall and weighs 2.40 oz.
Each Sengled Smart LED Multicolor A19 Bulb features a E26 socket and offers a total lifetime of around 25000 hours. These bulbs work best under a temperature range of -4 to 104ºF (-20 to 40ºC) and a humidity range of 0-95%. These Smart LED Multicolor Bulbs can’t be installed with regular light dimmers.
Each Sengled Smart LED Multicolor A19 Bulb is rated with IP20 Waterproof Rating, meaning its able to withstand basic touch and features rudimentary dust protection. Basically, the lights won’t survive hard impacts or anything similar, but you can safely touch them with your fingers. The 0 (zero) in IP20 stands for no water protection whatsoever, making these LED bulbs ideal for indoors use only, so make sure you don’t install them outdoors (even if protected).
Each A19 Bulb features a power input of 100-130V working at 60Hz each, as well as a wattage of 8.6W, which can be translated to around $1.04 energy cost per year (allowing up to $6.19 in energy savings). Both these Smart LED Multicolor Bulbs feature LED bulb technology, which means they were designed to provide longer, more energy-efficient illumination, making them capable of saving up to 80% energy when compared to incandescent lighting. Each bulb also features a Power Factor of >0.7.
In terms of lighting features, each Sengled Smart LED Multicolor A19 Bulb offers a brightness level/luminous flux (perceived power of light) of 800 lumens – equivalent to 60W. Each bulb also features a color temperature range of 2000K-6500K and a color rendering index (CRI) of 90 – how well can the light reveal the objects’ colors in comparison to ideal or natural light sources. A CRI of 90 basically translates to an excellent lighting, which would be the equivalent of a bright pure white light that’s stronger and brighter than the daylight outside, making it a really good light source to be used indoors. Lastly, the bulbs offer a maximum Beam Angle of 200º.
Both Sengled Smart LED Multicolor A19 Bulbs are connected to the included Sengled Smart Hub via Wi-Fi by using the Zigbee Home 1.2.1 Wireless Protocol. This Smart Multicolor LED system supports the most common Wireless Standards (802.11 b/g/n), operating at a frequency band of 2.4 GHz. The system is encrypted with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
