Philips Hue Lights
I look at Philips Hue lights as a gateway into filling your home with smart gadgets. You begin with a single bulb, and before you know, it you are controlling your cat feeder from your smartphone.
Philips Hue isn't the cheapest out there, but it is by far the best. Build quality is excellent, the lifespan of the products is is such that after several years I've not had a single Hue device fail, and the light output from the bulbs is second to none.
