Updated November 10, 2026
Filament-style smart bulbs suit open fixtures where the look of the bulb shows. This list covers eight smart filament or vintage-style bulbs.
See our best smart bulbs list and our Smart Lighting hub for the rest.
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.

How We Evaluate Smart filament bulbs
We did not install or run these products. We compared manufacturer specifications and Amazon listing details, selected November 9, 2026. We could not retrieve current Amazon star ratings or rating counts for these listings, so they carry no WikiHomeLED Score, we show no star ratings, and the order is our editorial judgment of the listed specifications, not a score. We looked at base and shape, connectivity, voice assistant and platform support, hub requirements, color range, and dimming. We kept one listing per product family and no more than two per brand. Compatibility claims are taken only from each listing, and where a listing says a platform is not supported we left it out. Lumen, wattage-equivalent, and white-range figures are as published by each seller and are not our measurements; where a listing is vague or contradicts itself, we say so. Read recent customer reviews before you buy. The full method is on our How We Review page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are filament smart bulbs bright?
Often less than standard bulbs. Check the lumens.
Do they work in enclosed fixtures?
Check the listing.
Are they dimmable?
Many listings say so through the app.
Final Verdict
Linkind ST19 Filament Smart Bulb, 4 Pack is our first pick, Govee ST19 Filament Smart Bulb follows, and Linkind ST19 Filament Smart Bulb, 2 Pack is third. We ordered by the strength of each listing’s stated specifications and platform support, not by ratings. Choose by the platform you use, the base and shape of your fixture, and whether you want color.
