Belkin shows WeMo Smart LED Bulb at CES

Home automation has quietly become one of the big product lines at CES in Las Vegas. Many of the primary manufacturers in the field are there, showing off new devices, including Belkin.

The company, commonly thought of in the networking world, has a lineup it calls WeMo. One of the new additions to the line is a smart LED bulb, which works similar to the Philips Hue. “Belkin’s new LED Lighting Starter Set and WeMo Smart LED Bulbs allow you to control, schedule and dim your smart LED bulbs from anywhere”.

The long-lasting bulbs are 60-watt equivalent with 800 Lumens and 3000 Kelvin for a bright warm white light. The lights can be controlled either individually or in groups, and are fully dimmable.

The bulbs can be purchased as a starter kit, which includes a WeMo Link that can control up to 50 bulbs. The set is available for $129.99, and individual bulbs retail for $39.99 each.
