Note: a smart bulb needs constant power to stay connected, so leave the wall switch on. Check the base and shape against your fixture, stay within the fixture’s maximum wattage, and look at whether it is rated for enclosed fixtures. Many smart bulbs should not run on a dimmer switch, so check the listing. Look for a UL or ETL mark, and follow the maker’s instructions. Listings differ; we describe what each maker lists.
