Ring unveils a range of lighting with solar panels

Ring is slowly expanding into Philips Hue territory by launching its first traditional smart health connected light bulb that works both indoors and outdoors.

Ring, which is owned by Amazon, is also modernizing its outdoor lights with new models that have a solar panel so that they don’t have to recharge the battery. Although the brand is best known for its security cameras, it has created a portfolio of devices to make your health home smarter; or at least more automated.

This year, Ring’s new products are focusing heavily on lighting products. The company already sells path lights, step lights, spotlights and smart health connected projectors to light your garden as if it were daylight.

But many of these devices are updated today. Solar Floodlight, Solar Steplight and Solar Pathlight are solar variants of existing devices. Instead of having to recharge the batteries, they all have a tiny solar panel on the top so you don't have to change their batteries. You can also pair them with motion detectors.

But the big news is the standard smart bulb A19, as well as a smart bulb PAR38. You can use these bulbs outdoors, but they can also be used indoors. You can group them, control them with Alexa, turn them on and off remotely and adjust the brightness. All new lights will be available from April 1. For the moment, the brand has given no price information.

Ring is also launching a new device called Ring Access Controller Pro. It is available today for $ 300. It works with electronically controlled portals so that you can open and close the portals directly from the Ring app. This way you can put a Ring bell in front of your gate.

Finally, she indicates that this could be particularly practical for Amazon deliveries. The Ring Access Controller Pro works with Key by Amazon; the function that allows you to authorize health home access to delivery people.
