Smart Bulbs Designed to Be Seen.
Most bulbs are meant to hide inside a shade. LIFX Decorative Bulbs are the ones you put on display. Opaque diffusers in candle and tube forms that look incredible in pendant lights, feature fixtures, table lamps, and exposed sockets — with billions of colors and LIFX SuperColor running underneath.
The standout is PolyChrome Technology, which lets a single bulb display multiple colors at once. Not a color cycle, multiple colors simultaneously. It's a conversation starter in any room it goes in.
Available in E26 and E12 fittings to cover most decorative and feature fixture types. Tunable whites included so you can go from warm and atmospheric to bright and crisp whenever you need to. No hub required, works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and SmartThings.
