November 25, 2013 – Through its collaboration with Osram Sylvania, Comcast has enhanced its Xfinity Home platform by providing the Sylvania Ultra iQ LED BR30 bulbs, which it says can be plugged into any standard light bulb socket to provide up to 83% in energy costs.

According to Osram, the dimmable 11W bulb lasts up to 17.5 times longer than standard incandescents. Meanwhile through the Xfinity Home app, smartphone users can remotely control the bulb at home or on the go. Xfinity Home is a broadband and cloud-based platform that provides home control and energy management features that allow customers to stay connected to their home and family through the use of an interactive Web portal, mobile devices and the free Xfinity Home app.
