It seems like every day brings new ways to automate some part of our lives. Though some smart home devices can get pricey, there are many simple and inexpensive gadgets available that can give your home a more futuristic vibe. Right now Amazon is offering the Kasa smart light bulb for only $7. That’s a noteworthy 59% off and represents a total discount of $10. Amazon deals like this one tend to come and go quickly, so we suggest acting fast if you want to pick one (or a few) up at this price.
The Kasa smart light bulb uses LED lighting and connects to your smart home ecosystem through Wi-Fi. It’s dimmable and can work with either Amazon Alexa or the Kasa smart home app. You can use voice controls or your phone to set the light strength from 1% to 100%, so you can get just the right lighting for any moment. It’s made to work best in temperature ranges between 5 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit and requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. If you want more lights, the four-pack is on sale for only $23 at Amazon, down from its regular price of $45.

Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?
If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrive as soon as Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays.
The Kasa smart light bulb will arrive before Christmas, according to Amazon. However, it’s best to order soon to make sure you receive it by Dec. 25.
