Benefits of Smart Lighting

Smart lighting is one of the easiest ways to upgrade your home.

Whether you want mood lighting for a cozy evening or bright, energy-efficient illumination for working, smart lighting could be just what you are looking for.

Just some of the benefits of smart lighting include:

Remote Control

Not going to be home? You can turn your lights on and off remotely using your smartphone.

If you’re arriving home and it’s dark, you can turn on your lights remotely so that your house is lit when you get home. Or you could set a timer so that your house is lit up at certain times.

You can also set lighting to come on and off when someone enters or exits a room, saving you money on your electricity bills, especially handy if your family keep forgetting to turn off the lights when they leave a room!

Voice Activation

You can adjust the brightness or colour of your lighting with just a simple command to Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. If you need to get up in the middle of the night, you don’t need to fumble around for a lightswitch, just ask your smart home device to turn on the lights for you.

If you’ve got your hands full, just tell your smart assistant to turn on the lights.

Energy Saving

One of the best things about smart lighting is the ability to set timers or schedules for your lights so that they aren’t left on unnecessarily. This helps you save energy in the long run.

You can also set up your lights to come on slowly to wake you up, or gradually get dimmer the closer it gets to bedtime.

Ambiance Customisation

Smart lighting isn’t only available in warm white or cool white, you can change the colours of the light in the room to suit your mood or occasion.

Feeling down? Set your lights to blue to boost your mood.

Orange or yellow light can help to boost productivity and make you feel more creative.

If you’ve had a stressful day, green light can help you unwind.

You can also dim the lights or make them brighter at just the touch of a button.

If you’re watching a film, you can set lighting to match the genre of the film, or turn up the brightness if you need to work.

Your smart lights can even mimic a fireplace, cycle through different colours, or twinkle, depending on the settings you choose.

Increased Security

Smart lighting allows you to simulate occupancy while you’re away for your peace of mind.

If you’re on holiday, you can set timers so that your lights turn on and off at certain times, or even randomly between set times, to deter burglars or theives from targeting your home.

Exterior lights can also be set to come on a certain times, to help you see your way back to the front or back door once it’s dark or in the winter afternoons.
