Wipro Next Smart Wi-Fi LED Bulb 9W B22 (16M Colours + Tunable White)
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The cheapest sensible entry into a smart home in India, and it does the one job well. What it does not do is work without the internet -- if your broadband drops, this is a bulb that only listens to the wall switch, which matters because the wall switch has to stay on for the bulb to be reachable at all.
Who should buy this
Anyone testing whether smart lighting is worth it before committing to a system.
Who should avoid this
Anyone building automations that must survive an outage, or anyone on Apple Home -- there is no HomeKit support.
Key strengths
- Rs549 is the lowest realistic entry price for a colour smart bulb in India

- 810 lumens is genuinely bright enough as a room's main light
Limitations
- Cloud-dependent -- nothing works if the internet is down
- No Apple HomeKit support
- The wall switch must stay on, which defeats the habit of switching off at the board
