Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Lepro B22 AI Smart Bulb is a colour-changing LED that takes the number 3 spot in our smart bulb guide. It costs £12.73 and holds 4.4 out of 5 from 4,683 ratings. It runs over 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth through the Lepro app, so no separate hub is needed, and the listing puts its maximum light output at 1521 lumens with voice control through Alexa and Google Assistant.
Two things in the listing do not line up with each other. The title reads 12W=100W, but the spec table's "Incandescent Equivalent" field reads 12 Watts — the same number as the wattage, which is itself written as "12 Watt-hours" rather than 12 watts. The title also rounds the output to 1520lm where the table says 1521 lumens, and the bulb is described as tunable from warm to cool daylight while the Color Temperature field gives one figure, 2700 Kelvin. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing and its customer reviews. We have not tested the bulb ourselves.
