Best Smart Lights for size and footprint

#1 Lepro STV1 TV Backlight
4.8

Combining the camera and controller reduces the number of pieces behind the TV and keeps the setup comparatively tidy.

Pros: lighting quality, maximum brightness

Cons: Wi-Fi connectivity, color consistency

#2 Ikea Varmblixt Smart Lamp
2.5

At roughly a foot wide, the lamp has real visual presence but can consume a lot of bedside or tabletop space. Wall mounting solves much of that problem.

Pros: lighting quality, minimum brightness

Cons: task lighting performance, beam spread

#3 Philips Hue Omniglow
2.0

OmniGlow is bulkier than typical lightstrips, which limits some architectural channels and discreet installations.

Pros: lighting quality, maximum brightness

Cons: cable management, fixture compatibility
