Smart lighting is an energy-saving technology. It turns on lights only when necessary, helping you save energy and preserve the lifespan of your lightbulbs. Smart lighting uses timers, dimmers, programmable light switches and more.
Here, we discuss the various ways smart lighting can help you save energy and money.
Smart lights don’t need traditional switches to turn on and off. You can use your voice to open them when entering a room. If you forget to turn them off after leaving for work, you can use a smartphone app to do so. The system’s smartphone app also notifies you if you left the lights on after you left.
You can set a schedule of when to turn your lights on and off. This automatic functionality that can be added by custom home automation companies reduces energy consumption when no one’s home or you forget to turn off the lights. If you’re leaving for work in the morning and arriving late in the evening, you can select the hours of your departure and arrival using the smartphone application.
Smart lights can have photosensors that automatically dim and adjust lighting levels depending on the level of daylight. They use circuits that calculate the level of natural light in a room to switch on or off or dim the light. According to statistics, light sensors can reduce 60% of your energy consumption.
Occupancy sensors turn on the light if they detect motion in a room. These are useful in bathrooms, wardrobes, private offices and other small spaces. Reports show that occupancy sensors allow you to save 20% to 60% on your lighting bills and are the most common smart lighting technology used by households.
