What is Smart Lighting?
If you’re not familiar with smart technology, this might be the first question on your mind.
Smart lighting takes lighting your home to the next level with improved efficiency, added convenience and even greater creativity. You have greater control over the way in which you use your lights, from the dimming capabilities to preset timers and even a full spectrum of colour options.
Smart light switches allow you to simply set and forget, so you can kick back on the couch or curl up under the covers and let the lights operate themselves.
You can even control smart lighting from your smartphone or voice activated home assistant. Better still, with your smartphone you don’t even need to be at home. If you forget to switch off the lights when you leave home for work, or want to have them on for when you get back home, simply operate them from your favourite smart device.
The Benefits of Smart Light Installation
Upgrading your home to smart lighting provides it, and you, with a multitude of benefits. They can include:
- Greater energy efficiency – smart LED light bulbs can last up to 20 times longer than the old, inefficient incandescent bulbs.
- Greater convenience – you can program the lights to switch on and off at a set time, or simply control them from the couch using your smartphone, tablet or a voice activated home assistant.
- Greater creativity/mood setting capabilities – with a vast array of colour options available, you can set the lighting to create a mood or simply have some fun with the lighting in your room. Choose from standard or adjustable white bulbs, or experiment with RGB colour bulbs that change colour on demand!
- Long lasting – smart light bulbs can provide up to 25,000 hours of life.
When you choose to install smart lights, the benefits it will provide your home will make all the world of difference. Discover for yourself today.
Points to Consider When Installing Smart Lights
Making the switch to smart lighting is not as simple as just choosing a light globe at the supermarket. There are numerous points you should consider in order to enjoy the complete range of benefits.
- Home assistant connection – Voice activated home assistant systems like Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa are largely vital to home automation systems. If you’re installing smart lighting and this is your entry point into smart home technology, you’ll want to choose a platform to operate them through.
- Do you need a hub? – Since smart lights need to be connected to your network to function, at least with Bluetooth but ideally through Wi-Fi, you may need a Wi-Fi hub in order to be able to control your lights from a greater distance.
- Do you have old dimmer switches in your home? – If you’ve installed dimmer switches for your lighting in years gone by, you might find that they’re not particularly compatible with your new smart lights. As your new smart lighting will come with its own dimmable capabilities, the dual dimming functions can work against each other and cause the lights to flicker. The flickering can cause a strobing effect which might be a problem for some occupants of your home.
