Whether you want to turn the lights off with just the sound of your voice or you're looking for a serious upgrade like a rainbow of colors, the best smart bulbs for Google Home have you covered. No matter which of these you choose, all of these smart bulbs can be controlled from anywhere, whether you’re in the next room and want to turn off a light with a voice command or just forgot to turn off your lights when you rushed out the door and need to turn the off via smartphone. And while you'll need a Google Home, or another hub, for voice commands with these, all of these picks have apps that let you operate them even when you don't. They also all let you dim the lights to your preference without having to install a dimmer switch.
When you’re shopping around for a smart bulb option, you’ll want to keep in mind how you’ll be using the bulb. If you’re trying to upgrade your whole home, you may want to opt for a starter kit with multiple smart bulbs. And if you're looking for one just for the bedroom, consider a color-changing light which could help you sleep better because red light mimics natural sunset to promote a restful night’s sleep (think: that relaxing feeling of candlelight). And you're not limited to regular-style LED bulbs, either. I've included mini and Edison-style bulbs as well.
