For example, the company is set to release a new Bluetooth smart bulb that sports health-tracking features. The A19 Bulb, which won a CES Innovation Award, will allow users to monitor their sleep, track vitals, and detect falls. It's still in the "very early" stages of development, however.

Other products that could debut sooner in 2022 include the Wi-Fi Video-Sync TV Light Strips. The light strips sync to a TV via a small camera and will project the same colors displayed on a show, movie, or other content. The light stripes will be priced around $120.

The company also announced new Wi-Fi LED outdoor string lights that feature millions of different color combinations and bulbs that can be individually set to a different color. They'll be priced at $80.

Sengled also announced a $60 Wi-Fi Portable Lamp that's powered by a rechargeable battery and features light functions like dimming, color changing, and or a flickering candlelight effect.

    I like the idea of TV-synced lighting, but using a small optical camera seems bananas. First, because it's ugly and I'm not putting that on my TV. Second, because can't they plug into the HDMI input port and read what's coming in from there?

    Huh?

    Also, having been involved with the Innovations award process for many years, I know they can be a little loosey-goosey with the actual shipping dates. However, never have I seen one awarded for a product that is "in the very early stages of development".
