While ordinary light fixtures can certainly do the job, they lack the fun and pizzazz of smart lighting systems. You can’t order your basic lamp to illuminate the room in a dazzling purple hue well before you even arrive home, after all. Or turn it back off after leaving the house and realizing you left too many lights on. With smart lighting, all that and so much more is within reach, giving you more control over your home than ever before.
Smart lighting is an integrated system of high-tech light fixtures that connect to an app through Wi-Fi, so you can control them remotely.
Through the app, you can do many amazing things with the lights, like:
Some lighting systems even use motion- and sunlight-detecting sensors to determine when to turn off and on.
With smart lighting all throughout your house, you just have to tap a few buttons in the app to make changes and even set up the lights to run on their own. Thanks to those functions, you can enjoy all the following benefits.
Smart lighting makes it easier to fully enjoy all your favorite activities. Need to dim the lights for a romantic dinner? You can do that. Want to turn on a strobe light and illuminate the room with a rainbow of color? That’s possible, too. You can even turn the brightness way up to better complete tasks, like prepping food for dinner and completing craft projects.
When you have guest over, you can use your lighting to set the mood and elevate all your fun activities. You can click a few buttons to turn down the lights for your movie or change the color of the lights to match your board game for the evening. Your home will quickly become the go-to spot for all your gatherings, putting you at the center of the excitement.
You can boost your home security by using smart lighting to make it look like someone is always home. You just have to use the app to put different lights on a timer to turn on and off at certain times. As the light changes occur, intruders will likely see the activity and move on their way instead of trying to break into your home.
By turning your lights on and off using a timer, you don’t just have to leave them on all day while you’re away. The reduced usage will likely drive down your energy bills, helping keep more money in your pocket each month. As you save money on electricity, your household will also generate a smaller carbon footprint as well.
It’s amazing how many benefits a simple smart lighting system can provide – and it’s all within reach when you buy new construction homes.
New home builders often put smart lighting in every room of the home to give you full control of the lights from your app. That way, you don’t have to compromise on the functionality of your house. If you’reinstalling the lighting system yourself, you could start with shared living areas only. But it won’t be long before you’re wanting smart bulbs in the bedrooms, bathrooms and even the hallways.
