Ikea launches a new $10 smart bulb

The just-released Tradfri LED bulb E26 250 lumen isn’t Ikea’s first smart light bulb — far from it. As of this writing, Ikea sells at least ten different smart lights. Yet, the newest addition to the Tradfri smart light family stands out for two reasons. First, it’s the company’s first smart filament light bulb, meaning it’s more decorative and glows a little warmer (2200 kelvin to be exact). And two, it costs just $10, which is significantly cheaper than other smart filament light bulbs, most significantly the $25 smart filament bulb by Philips Hue.
