However, this year is quite different; Qualcomm has made…
WiZ is a smart lighting brand I haven’t paid much attention to in the past. They are owned by Signify, who also owns the Philips Hue brand, and WiZ appears to be positioned as a more affordable alternative to Philips Hue. A good example of this is a pair of warm white GU10 spotlights from…
I love high-watt multi-port chargers, it makes life so much easier having one charger that can charge multiple devices at the same time, including laptops.
