Smart lights are pretty great to have inside your house, but outdoor bulbs aren’t worth the expense. We know what you’re thinking — you want bulbs that can turn themselves on automatically at night so it’s not pitch black around your home. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

They automatically turn on at dusk each night and then back off again in the morning when the sun comes up. While Philips Hue smart LED bulbs cost $50 each, these LED bulbs are just over $8 a piece.
