Specifications
In this article, we present a comprehensive overview of the versatile specifications of the SMART+ ZigBee Full Color and Tunable White BR30 LED Bulb smart home light from SYLVANIA. We have categorized this product as bulb.
Communication
A wide variety of technologies can be used to control the Smarthome light, each of which can have its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, control via Wifi can be integrated into an existing network over longer distances, but consumes more power than, for example, Zigbee or Bluetooth. Wifi is therefore only suitable for devices that are permanently connected to the power grid. SMART+ ZigBee Full Color and Tunable White BR30 LED Bulb supports the following technologies:
- Zigbee protocol
Supported functions
The following features/functions are supported by this device:
- Control the light conveniently with your smartphone or the Bridge - switch it on or off as required.
- Adjustment of the light intensity.
- Adjustment of the color temperature settings to warm or cool shades of white.
- Multiple colors can be selected in the smartphone app.
- The lamp can be adjusted so that it shines in a clear white.
- Automated activation function.

Light
The lumen specification describes the brightness of the illuminant. The higher this value is, the brighter the room is illuminated. A 60W incandescent bulb has an average of about 700 lumens, a 60W halogen tube as well. The smart bulb under consideration here emits about 800 lumen according to the manufacturer's information from SYLVANIA. SYLVANIA has defined the power consumption for the devices described here with 11 w. However, the specification may differ from the actual power consumption depending on which colors/color temperatures and brightnesses are set. For example, while manufacturers mostly measure lumens at white color and full brightness, the power consumption might have been measured at slight dimming. However, it would also be possible to measure at full brightness, which could lower the power consumption at 11 w. In short, this is an approximate guide from SYLVANIA.
Design
While LED's usually have a much longer life span than conventional bulbs, the replacement of the bulbs was not made possible by SYLVANIA. Admittedly, this is acceptable for pure light bulbs, but larger housings could cause more electrical waste.
