8 Best SmartThings Smart Bulbs of 2026
Eight SmartThings smart bulbs compared on connectivity, platform support, and color.
By Ethan Cole
Updated November 10, 2026
SmartThings can control bulbs through its app and hubs. This list covers eight smart bulbs whose listings mention SmartThings.
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 to Choose SmartThings smart bulbs
Setup
Some bulbs connect through the SmartThings app directly. Others need a SmartThings hub or Matter. Check the listing.

Check what hub or controller the listing requires.
Other Platforms
If you also use Alexa, Google, or Apple, look for a listing that names them.
Color or White
Color bulbs add scenes. White bulbs are simpler.
How We Evaluate SmartThings smart 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
Do I need a SmartThings hub?
It depends on the bulb. Check the listing.
Do they work with Alexa?
Many listings say so. Check each one.
Does Matter help?
Some bulbs reach SmartThings through Matter. Check the listing.
Final Verdict
LIFX A19 Color Smart Bulb, 2 Pack is our first pick, Consciot A19 Color Smart Bulb, 6 Pack follows, and OREiN A19 Color 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.
