There are four ways we can do this.

Like most things in life, what you get out of these Sunbeats Bluetooth speaker smartbulbs depends on how much work you’re willing to put in. Here’s our handy guide to finding the fun-to-laziness balance that’s right for you.

The easy way: Screw one of these bulbs into a lamp of your choice. Connect to it with your phone or any other Bluetooth audio source. Play the audio of your choice through the speaker in the bulb. You got yourself a regular old Bluetooth speaker lightbulb. (What? Aren’t Bluetooth speaker lightbulbs regular old things in your world? Maybe we’ve been working in ecommerce too long.)

The less easy way: Screw one of these bulbs into a lamp of your choice. On your phone or tablet, download the official iOS Sunbeats app or this unofficial Android app. Connect to the bulb via Bluetooth. Use the app to control the bulb’s brightness, change its color, use preset light themes, schedule timed light changes, play music through the bulb’s speaker, and more. You got yourself a smart lightbulb. Forget going through the rigmarole of a HomeKit or Nest kind of setup (which don’t work with this bulb anyway). It’s a self-contained smart lighting system for $7.50 per bulb.

The easier way: Screw one of these bulbs into a lamp of your choice. Turn the lamp on or off. You got yourself a lightbulb, specifically the energy-saving, penny-pinching LED kind. You never need to worry about Bluetooth or apps or any of that foolishness that’s ruining America these days.

The easiest way: Just leave them in the boxes and imagine what your room would look like if the lighting were red or yellow or peach or teal.

The only thing easier than that would be not buying these Sunbeats speaker bulbs in the first place. But you don’t want life to be too easy, do you?
