GE recently introduced their new interactive application for smartphones and tablets allowing homeowners to control home lighting when they are away from home. When consumers purchase the special LED light bulbs, they’re able to control the lighting using GE’s application no matter where they are. Consumers can find the LED bulbs at home improvement retail stores such as Home Depot.
