Introduction
Powered by STITCH™, the Smart Wi-Fi® RGB Light Bulb allows you to remotely
control the brightness and customize the color of your home's lighting. The free
STITCH app for iOS® and Android™ devices uses your home's existing Wi-Fi network
to communicate with the bulb, so you won't need separate mesh network hubs or
controllers. You can monitor and control the bulb 24/7 from anywhere you have an
internet connection. This energy-efficient bulb consumes only 9 watts of power but
produces up to 800 lumens of brightness, the equivalent of a 60-watt incandescent
bulb. Additionally, you can set it to more than 16 million colors, making it perfect for
creating custom lighting.
