When it comes to outdoor lighting systems the last ten years have changed the industry dramatically. LED bulbs have changed the face of outdoor lighting by providing energy savings and by allowing for so many new technological advancements like color changing bulbs and smart bulbs. This technology has gone from being a dream a decade ago to something that is almost a standard part of an installation today. If you are considering an outdoor lighting system (or are looking to upgrade your own) are you considering a smart lighting system?
The Price Has Come Down
There is certainly a cost that comes with any new technology and if you want every light in your outdoor lighting to change colors this still can be an expensive proposition, but most people don’t want that. For anyone that just wants a simpler setup with a few color changing smart bulbs (or even just regular LED lights) the cost of the bulbs are cheaper than ever and if these bulbs are replacing outdated bulbs they can pay for themselves in electric savings over their lifetime.
The price of a smart lighting system as well is only going to go down. Competition from manufacturers has increased and installers are becoming more experienced in working with them, which means savings that can be passed on to the customer. Customers also have more options than ever when it comes to smart lighting.
For anyone that is looking to upgrade there will be a cost associated with this as new equipment will need to be installed. Older electrical systems do not work with LED bulbs and LED bulbs require special equipment. You are going to have to upgrade anyway so consider LED bulbs and a smart lighting system. You will be glad you did.
Ease
A smart home lighting system can be easy to control. Now it may not be as easy as flipping a switch but if you have a smartphone, you can control it with a swipe of your finger or even your voice. If you have a smartphone, you can operate a smart lighting system. This may not be for everyone but a smart lighting system is versatile enough to allow anyone, from an IT pro to a technological neophyte, to use it.
Security
Smart lights can help to increase your home’s security as well. Keeping lights on a timer is a tried and true method for people to dissuade would-be thieves from breaking in while they are on vacation. But eventually those people might realize that the lights are on a timer and go ahead with their nefarious actions.
Smart lights can be configured to be turned on and off at random times to give the appearance of someone being home. That thief might change their mind about breaking in when a light suddenly turns on. You can set this before you leave or while you are on vacation across the globe.
