Sylvania to Launch HomeKit-Enabled Bulb With Retro Filament Design in Spring

Sylvania brand smart bulb maker Ledvance will launch a HomeKit-enabled A19 LED bulb ($32) with a retro filament design this spring at Amazon, said the company Tuesday. The need to install a hub and have an internet connection has been a barrier for many consumers who want to try smart lighting, said Aaron Ganick, Ledvance's global head-smart business, saying the HomeKit-enabled Sylvania Smart+ Bluetooth line is simple to install and easy to use.
