The appeal of smart lights goes beyond transforming living spaces.
Smart lighting is the most popular invention in the home automation era because it is the simplest approach for those who want to get closer to the internet of things.
The Smart bulb , for example, is not a regular LED and doesn't just light up a room like a classic halogen bulb does.
Smart lights can do so much more.
I'm smart for a reason.
Then discover the applications of this technology and how it can transform people's habits and the environment in which they live, work and play.
Everything you can do with smart lights
Here we are in the "wow" world of futuristic lighting .
A smart light bulb features internet-compatible LED , which allows you to personalize, schedule, and control your lighting remotely.
And now you will discover all the wonderful implications of using smart lights and bulbs.
1. You can tone them down
Do you love letting yourself be enveloped in a relaxing atmosphere ?
With these lights you can as often as you like.
One of their characteristics, in fact, is that you can dim them without having to install special dimmer switches.
Just adjust the light intensity via the App on your phone or tablet.
Simple right?
2. You can control them remotely
Some smart lights have scheduling features that let you control them when you're not at home.
Or when you're not in your office, if you use smart lights in your workplace.
Very handy when you go on holiday or are away for a while as it will always seem like there is someone inside.
It also means that you can come back in the evening and let yourself be welcomed by a reassuring light.
Of course, activated from your mobile with voice command , as you take the last corner before your gate.
Modern lighting technology also allows you to synchronize all your lights, so you can control them together with a single App.
And when you leave, you can command Alexa (or Google) to turn off all the lights for you.
3. They change color
Dimming the lights to create your favorite mood has a very immersive effect but you can do better.
Try to think of something really relaxing…
Here, some smart lights can change color .
You can select the precise color you want by simply tapping a color wheel in the app on your smartphone .
Think about the emotional aspect of this feature.
Do you want to warm up the atmosphere of a room? Change the color of your light to a golden yellow.
Do you want to make everything more aseptic and professional? Change the color of the light to light blue.
Don't like the color of your wall? Change it up without repainting it by adding a little blue, yellow or red hue to your everyday lighting, on a low intensity setting.
In short, unleash your chromatic imagination .
4. They can help you sleep better
Yes, smart lights can help you sleep better too.
They are capable of emitting different color temperatures, capable of regulating the natural production of melatonin in the body.
Proper light settings help lower melatonin levels during the day and raise them as you approach bedtime.
Did you know that?
Save money with LED lights
Well yes: all LED lights, intelligent or otherwise, can significantly reduce energy consumption and save you money on bills.
LEDs last much longer and generate less heat than traditional bulbs, thus consuming less energy.
How do LED lights consume less?
The light emitting diode (LED) is one of the most energy efficient lighting technologies available today.
Top-notch LED bulbs are longer lasting and give brighter lighting than incandescent bulbs.
On average, an LED bulb lasts between 15,000 and 50,000 hours, while the life of a standard incandescent bulb is only between 750 and 2,000 hours.
Based on an average household usage of 3-4 hours per day, this means that an LED bulb can last 15 to 25 years, while an incandescent bulb might only last about 1 year.
And if the bulb is also smart?
A smart led bulb can help you save even more, thanks to the dimming and smart on/off features you just saw.
In short, you would find yourself paying a much lower amount on your energy bills, as well as helping the environment by reducing non-recyclable waste since LEDs last several years .
Smart consumption
If you schedule your lighting system to turn on, you can control which lights turn on and when.
This is especially true for outdoor lights (both security and decorative), as well as specific rooms (like the bathroom) that look like they're meant to be on all the time.
What if you forget to turn them off when you go out?
You can access the App on your smartphone and do it remotely.
You can even program your smart lighting system to turn off all lights in your home using location-based technology.
In practice, if all connected phones are outside a building, the lights turn off by themselves .
You will never leave the lights on again and you will never waste electricity again .
There is more.
You can also use motion sensors to pair with smart bulbs.
So they can light up if someone enters a room, touches a locker or opens a door.
In short, you are safe.
Control smart lights with your voice
When you connect smart lights to a virtual assistant , either on your smartphone or via various smart speakers, the smart bulbs listen to your voice commands.
Google Assistant, Alexa, Cortana … with these virtual assistants, voice-activated lights become a reality.
Use simple controls, like turning the lights on and off, dimming the lighting, changing colors and more.
Just tell them what to do and they will do it.
