Replacing a light fixture is one of the easiest upgrades that a homeowner can make to add a refreshing new look. Smart light bulbs are one of the easiest ways to make your home's lighting smarter. So why not combine the two and go with a fixture that has good looks and works with HomeKit? Here's our guide to the best light fixtures available.
Simple and smart
Philips Hue Fair Flush-mount
Staff Favorite
Don't let its simple looks fool you; the Philips Hue Fair is a light fixture that gives you all of the smart home goodies. The Fair is a light that works just about everywhere, from hallways to bedrooms, and HomeKit gives you control with a tap or shout. This fully dimmable light is also crazy bright, boasting a whopping 3,00 lumens of crisp white light.
Cost effective
Philips Hue Ascend Wall Light
The Ascend Wall Light is a fantastic option if you need to replace a sconce around your home. Since it is a part of the Philips Hue line, it is capable of 16 million different colors and shades of white, and its 450 lumens of brightness works great for its directional nature. Best of all, this fixture is one of the lowest-priced options around.
Classic design
Ikea FLOALT LED Light Panel
Ikea's FLOALT LED Light Panels come in three different shapes and sizes, including one that resembles the classic kitchen ceiling light design. That's where the similarities stop, though, as this energy-efficient panel consists of 10 LED lights capable of flooding a room with 2,200 lumens of light. This panel is also extremely slim and fully dimmable with color temperature adjustment capabilities.
Silver and gold

Smart light fixtures come in all shapes, sizes, and designs, each with their own unique characteristics that provide both a personalized look and utility. HomeKit support puts dimming, colors, and of course, the ability to turn them on and off in a way that is both easy to set up and easy to use. The Philips Hue Fair Flush-mount light is a versatile option that works in almost any room in the home and does so with the brightest light output around, making it one of our favorites.
