Everyone loves the idea of smart lights but no one likes the idea of shelling out so much cash for a single light bulb. If you’re looking for lights that will automatically turn on in the dark and then back off again once the sun comes up, you can save a ton of cash. A single Philips Hue light bulb costs $50, but you can get a 3-pack of Philips LED Dusk-to-Dawn A19 Frosted Light Bulbs for just $15 and change. They have sensors built right in that turns them off in the light and on in the dark, so you never have to think about it again.
