General Electric Co. just recently introduced their new interactive application for smartphones and tablets using a new technology that allows homeowners to control home lighting when they are away from home.  When consumers purchase the special LED light bulbs, they are 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 at affordable prices.  According to Mobile Marketer, the bulbs will start being sold this coming fall, but due to the anticipation of consumers, they can already be pre-ordered.  Companies like General Electric are trying to use technology to enhance their consumers’ home life, which has proven to excite and bring in more business for them.  While there are several security companies who have technologies similar to GE’s application, the appeal of the LED bulb is that it is a lot less costly than those other forms.  The app also works with Apple and Android devices making it accessible to all smartphone users.  GE understands how important convenience is for their consumers, and because of this they will continue to see business grow.
