Dublin, July 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "North America Smart Home Lighting: Smart Bulbs, Light Strips, Lamps & Fixtures" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

North America unit shipments for smart bulbs, lamps, fixtures and light strips will increase 12X in the next five years. Major drivers include: a strong US economy, smart home voice assistants, mass market retailers' smart lighting investments as well as hub-less solutions using Bluetooth or WiFi with a low-cost entry point.

For this report, the author conducted phone-based and in-person interviews and surveys in July/August 2018 and again in May/June 2019. This includes hundreds of retail stores such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Apple Stores, Ace Hardware and True Value. The author also conducted surveys with 6,600 smart home consumers through June of 2019.

The author's Q2 2019 survey with smart bulb buyers found that 77% purchased their first smart bulb within the past year. Current smart bulb buyers are planning an average of 5.7 additional smart bulbs over the next two years. However, 1 in 4 have returned at least one smart bulb over the past two years and 30% indicate that it was moderately difficult to nearly impossible to install their smart bulb.
