This week Hive announced introduced the Hive Light Dimmable GU10 spotlights, which are smart LED downlights you can control from anywhere, whatever your mood, whatever the room, with just a tap on the Hive app. Here is our two minute review.

The bulbs are long-lasting LED smart spotlights and they are rated A+ for energy efficiency and by controlling them remotely you can make sure they’re not left on.
Installing a bulb is a simple as fixing into the light socket, tapping the app and then switching the light on at the wall. That’s it! The app picks up the bulb, or bulbs, and adds them to your dashboard.
The lights can be controlled using the app – you can even set up actions, for example, turn all the hall lights on, or off, or when it’s night time, switch them on.

All Hive Lights are fully integrated with other Hive devices such as the sensors, enabling you to set up those Hive Actions in the app so you can get your hall lights to turn on automatically when you walk through the front door, perfect for when your hands are full and you can’t get to the app.
The bulbs are available to purchase now individually, in packs of 6 or 10, helping make the home both smarter and brighter, with prices starting from £15 for an individual bulb.
