Smart bulbs create a lovely ambiance in any room, emitting dimmable hues across millions of colors that can match your mood or gathering. You can also set up lighting schedules that are useful to you, and to ward off burglars, especially if you are planning to go away for spring break or for a summer vacation.

Typically, you'd expect to spend more than $50 on this luxury, but I was happy to find that the Lepro B2 AI Smart Light Bulbs at Amazon are currently on offer for just $6.65 per bulb, when you buy as a pack of four – a discount exclusively available for Amazon Prime members. Don't worry, you can activate a month's free Prime trial to snap up the deal if you're not.

The Lepro Smart Bulbs Are an Affordable Way to Automate Your Evening Ambiance

Voice control, schedules, and 16 million colors to choose from – Lepro's B2 AI Smart Light Bulbs have similar functionality to Philips Hue and Govee bulbs, while costing significantly less.

By setting schedules in the Lepro app for their smart bulbs, your lights can turn on automatically at sunset, then gradually dim as the evening goes on.

The ability to set schedules removes the need for manually adjusting the lights as the evening draws in, but it can also help to secure your home while you're away on vacation.

Using two smart bulbs, you can make it seem like you're home by setting lights to turn on and off in different rooms, deterring potential intruders. It's an effective, inexpensive way to improve your home security while on vacation this spring.

You can also set presets for when you're hosting spring gatherings and dinner parties, or when it's time to settle in for movie night, so you don't have to move a muscle to enjoy a change in your mood lighting.

For comparison, a singular Philips Hue smart bulb at Amazon costs $51.99, while a four-pack of Govee smart bulbs at Amazon costs $33.98. Both options have similar features – dimmable light, smart home compatibility, and millions of hues – but cost significantly more.

Lepro is offering a quality, affordable alternative that actually has extra functionality that you don't typically find in Philips Hue and Govee bulbs. For instance, you can take a photo of your living room interior, for example, and the Lepro app will generate ideal lighting scenes.

It can also adapt to the movie that you're watching, emulating similar colors to what is on the TV screen for extra entertainment immersion. If you pair that with one of our best soundbars, your movie-theater-at-home experience will be exponentially elevated.

If you have a voice assistant, such as an Amazon Alexa Echo Dot or a Google Nest, you can use it to turn on and adjust the Lepro lights, too.

The four-pack of Lepro B2 AI Smart Light Bulbs is discounted to $26.59 at Amazon.
