If someone is building a new house is it better to have wireless control of the lighting by having bluethooth/wifi built into:

1. the switch/dimmer controlling those lights
2. the light fixture
3. the light bulb

I ask because I saw LG and Samsung both announce LED bulbs with blue tooth built into them this week. And I thought to myself.... thats probably a terrible way of doing it. Each bulb is going to cost more and when you replace one you have to sync it with your control device. I mean it might be the best solution for someone that wants to avoid any type of construction at all and doesnt mind synching each bulb so I'm glad it exists but I sure the hell don't want it.


For the record, I am not building a new house I just appreciate good advice from smart people and that seemed to be the easiest case for comparison. The lights That I would want to be able to control wireless are on a dimmer, all on one circuit, and i would never want independent control of the individual lights on that circuit so a Bluetooth dimmer seems like the best option for me.
