GE Lighting and LIFX add to Wi-Fi-based SSL portfolio

Residential customers are getting more options than ever in terms of deploying LED-based smart- and connected-lighting systems in their homes with many new options emerging at CES 2020 (formerly the Consumer Electronics Show). GE Lighting, for example, has expanded its C by GE portfolio with new control technologies for its solid-state lighting (SSL) products and a plan to allow third parties to supply products that are compatible with the C by GE technology. LIFX has announced a number of new lighting products including filament and decorative lamps, LED strips for use with TVs and monitors, a new smartphone app, and a wireless switch for simplified control.
