July 9, 2014 – GE says it has developed a new and affordable connected LED bulb that lets consumers remotely control their home lighting from anywhere in the world and sync with other connected devices.

Enabled by the Wink app, Link claims to eliminate the need for expensive add-ons typically associated with connected devices. The bulb is available in three lighting applications: 60W replacement 2700K bulb, or A19 shape, for general lighting in table and floor lamps; indoor 2700K floodlight, or BR30 shape, for downlighting; and indoor/outdoor-rated 3000K spotlight, or PAR 38, used for outdoor security or spotlight.
