GE expands its smart lighting lineup ahead of CES

GE is storming into 2018 with several smart home solutions, building on its early forays with the C by GE bulbs and Sol lamp. On Tuesday, the company announced several new devices including a smart ceiling fixture that reduces the need to litter your various table spaces with Echo Dot or Google Home smart speakers. GE's new smart ceiling fixtures are meant as a universal replacement for smart speakers. The fixture comes as a flush mount version, which hangs over your head similar to a smoke detector. There's also a recessed can version for the kitchen, den, or any other place in your home that uses recessed lighting.
