With smart lighting, it’s easier than ever before to cut down on wasted energy. This is because most smart lights use LEDs and can be 70-90% more energy-efficient than a conventional lightbulb.

Motion sensors can be a great way to ensure lights are only turned on when needed. They aren’t left on when a room becomes unoccupied.

Leaving lights on by accident when you leave the house can become a thing of the past, with most smart lighting products allowing you to use an app to turn lights on and off remotely.

3. Fun, Comfort and Decoration

Are you having a movie night or wanting to set a certain mood? With smart lights, you can adjust the colour, hue and brightness to suit the mood that you want to create.

Lighting can be more comfortable with smart lighting; you can adjust the brightness and intensity to a level that you find relaxing. For example, setting your smart lights to turn on with a low brightness at night can be a great comfort option if you need to get up in the middle of the night.

The flexibility of smart lighting means that lighting can often play more of a role in decorating a room. If you want to change up the look and feel of a room, add a smart lamp and pick a lighting colour to set the mood you want!
