GE Cync color‑changing light bulbs
The best lighting upgrade I’ve done is swapping the cool‑blue LED bulbs for GE Cync color‑changing bulbs. They connect via Wi‑Fi and are controlled through the free Cync app (Bluetooth for local control). I can set the living room bright for family gatherings, dim orange for movies, or a flickering candle effect for Halloween—no smart‑home hub required.
