As people begin to rely on technology more and start using special accessories to adjust lights and colors, you may be wondering if smart plugs will work with touch lamps.
Smart plugs will work with touch lamps. Smart plugs simply turn the flow of electricity to the appliance or appliances that are plugged into it on or off. Touch lamps will turn on or off with a touch if they have enough electricity powering them and they have a working light bulb.
Now that we know that smart plugs will work with touch lamps, let’s take a step back and ask ourselves: what are smart plugs? This will be covered below, as well as other accessories that can be paired with a touch lamp.
What Are Smart Plugs?
Smart plugs are plugs that connect to Wi-Fi connections and are typically controlled by an app or a hub. You can connect different devices to the plug, and set times for it to turn on said devices, even when you are not home. It is great for people who want to come home to their lamps and devices already turned on.
Smart plugs are designed to activate or limit the flow of electricity to an appliance or item that is connected to it.
It is similar to plugging in and unplugging an item from an outlet, but you can do it without getting up from your seat. Instead, you can control it with your phone or another smart device.
If you want a touch lamp to work with a smart plug, then you have to turn it on and refuse to turn it off manually. Instead, you’ll use the smart plug’s app to turn off the power to the lamp.
Then the lamp will turn off and no longer provide light because it’s been cut off from its power source.

What is a Universal Dimmer?
Universal dimmers allow you to dim light bulbs to a brightness that you choose through an app or a dimming hub. They are designed to work with dimmable LED, dimmable CFL, incandescent, and halogen bulbs.
In order for a universal dimmer system to work, you need to have dimmable light bulbs that work with the system. If you have a universal dimmer, look at the owner’s manual to see which light bulb brands and types will work with your system.
Universal dimmers work by controlling the brightness of the light fixtures that are connected to the universal dimming system. They control the amount of electrical power that is supplied to each bulb it is connected to.
What is a 3-Way Smart Dimmer Switch?
A 3-way smart dimmer switch is a switch that connects to your Wi-Fi network and allows you to wirelessly control the lights in your home, and it does not require you to have a bridge or hub. It allows you to control up to 3 lights at a time. It typically allows you to control the lights with the dimmer switch or an app.
A 3-way smart dimmer is designed to allow you to dim, turn on, and turn off the lights in your home. The dimming switch system typically works with dimmable fluorescent and dimmable LED lighting.
The great thing about 3-way smart dimmer switches is that you can turn on lights on a separate flood. So, if you are downstairs but are going to walk upstairs soon, you can turn on the lights upstairs. Now you don’t have to look around for the light switch in the dark, which is always nice.
Or if it is the middle of the night, but you want to go downstairs and don’t want to be blinded, you can use the 3-way dimmer to turn the lights to a dim setting.
How Does Philips Hue Dimmer Switch Work?
A Philips Hue Dimmer Switch works by dimming the intensity of the lights connected to it. It can also change the color of the bulb with a push of a button on the app or the switch.
You can connect up to 10 lights to the switch. However, if you want to connect more lights to the switch, you can get the Philips Hue Bridge and connect up to 50 lights to it.
The Philips Hue Dimmer Switch system connects to your home’s Wi-Fi system. You do have to use Philips light bulbs that can be connected to the system, but they are easy to find and purchase online or at any hardware store. However, depending on what Philips light bulb your system requires, they may be more expensive than other commonly found lightbulbs.
Below is a YouTube video about the Philips Hue Dimmer Switch. It talks about how to connect the switch to your system and gives a user’s review.
Home Streamliner’s Take
As a home streamliner, I think that smart plugs are great to use with touch lamps, as long as you remember to always keep your touch lamp on, rather than turning it off through the lamp itself. Instead, you can turn it off through the app or system that controls your smart plug.
Smart plugs are great systems to use for any lights that you want to be able to dim or turn on and off without getting up and moving.
Light dimming systems are also great systems to use, in my opinion. They allow you to turn lights on and off without getting up, and they allow you to turn on lights upstairs without walking upstairs. As someone who is very clumsy, and sometimes trips while looking for the light switch, I appreciate how easy it is to use this technology.
Light dimming systems are also great in my opinion because not many homes allow you to dim your lights. Most homes just have a simple on/off light switch. Sometimes people do not want their lights to be super bright, but they still want to be able to see.
The light dimming system is great for when this happens. As someone who wants to be able to dim their lights from time to time, I would definitely recommend this lighting system.
