The light bulb is arguably one of the world’s greatest inventions of the 19th century, transforming the way we live our lives and illuminating our homes much more easily. Skipping forward to the 21st century, you’ll see an evolution in design and technologies that seemed, at one point, impossible for traditional light bulbs. With these advancements, it seemed as though they couldn’t get any better — that is, until smart lights came along. This somewhat new term is known, but what is smart lighting, really?
What is smart lighting?
Smart lighting is an advanced way to light your home. Smart LED bulbs contain software that connects to an app, smart home assistant or other smart accessory so you can automate your lights or control them remotely, eliminating the need for traditional wall switches.
Conventional light bulbs work by flipping a switch on and off. Sometimes they are hardwired into a dimmer switch, allowing you to dim or brighten the lights. However, this is generally the extent of the functionality of traditional home lighting.
Smart lighting, on the other hand, gives you far more control over your lights. They are still connected to your home’s power, but each smart bulb and LED-integrated fixture allows you to control it wirelessly with your phone, tablet or smart assistant, such as Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
Smart lighting benefits
Lower energy use
Smart lights use CFL or LED bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs, and can reduce the amount of electricity needed to light a room. An ENERGY STAR®️–certified smart bulb uses 70 to 90 percent less energy than a traditional bulb.
Longer life span
The average incandescent bulb has a lifespan of 750 to 2,000 hours. In contrast, the LED smart lights can work continuously for 35,000 to 50,000 hours, causing your lights to last longer.
Increased security
Many of the best smart-lighting options include motion-detection features, so bulbs turn on or off depending on whether someone is in the room. This feature can be programmed to send alerts to mobile devices when unexpected motion is detected, both inside or outdoors.
Easy-to-use light customization
Whether your property is a business or a private residence, you probably use certain lights at set times. Smart bulbs can be preset to turn on when you come home from work, dim toward the end of the night or turn off at specified times.
Instant mood lighting
Smart lights are as fun as they are functional. Many can be set to change color or alter a room’s mood with settings ranging from bright and efficient to relaxing and romantic.
