When choosing a smart lighting system, you're essentially looking for one of two things: smart light bulbs or smart switches.
When choosing a smart lighting system, you’re essentially looking for one of two things: smart light bulbs or smart switches. Smart bulbs usually work with a dimmer switch – but not always – and come in white, full-colour, and tuneable. (This means you can adjust the temperature of the lighting, ideal for syncing with sleep cycles.)
Smart switches are on the entire time, but power down in line with the commands you give them. These are ideal for use in hard-to-reach spaces, though they are not dimmable like smart bulbs.
Within these, we also have indoor and outdoor lighting, for example:
These can be installed within ceiling recesses, and offer versatility with multiple colours and dimming.
These are usually used for ambience, creating mood lighting effects with lightstrips up to 5m.
These work with motion sensors, 2-way audio and CCTV to provide added assurance.
Like other smart home systems, these are also controlled by voice command or mobile device, using a Wi-Fi connection. These weatherproof fittings are ideal for adding ambience and security.
Smart lighting uses automation to make your life easier. From using timers to wake you up to deterring burglars with living room lights, they’re becoming a staple.
Many smart lights are powered by an LED bulb. These can use up to 90% less energy than their incandescent counterparts.
Even better, if your lights aren’t running 24 hours a day, you can save on energy bills. For example, automatic sensors can tell lights to power up in time with movement, or you can set a schedule.
Accessing your control system is easy – all it takes is a WiFi connection and/or Bluetooth. Many systems offer compatibility with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Home, giving you free rein to make changes with just your words.
You can also access them on devices including your smartphone, tablet or desktop.
You can customise a smart LED light for multiple functions. For example, adjustable colour settings are ideal for creating different moods, from cool white for home working to RGB party hues for working out.
Other functions include helping you wake up in the morning or wind down at night. Our ‘circadian rhythms’, or sleep cycles, are influenced by light – so you can set them to your tune.
Anything from outdoor wall lights to indoor scheduling can help to deter intruders. A smart PIR-enabled camera and floodlights will activate upon movement, and can even send notifications to homeowners.
Alternatively, you can also consider scheduling lights to turn on while you’re away to make the property appear occupied.
Many smart lighting options use an IFTTT system, which stands for “if this, then that”. This essentially means that more than one smart home product can activate based on the activities of another. For example, a smart motion sensor could trigger lighting.
Voice control integration with tools like the Apple Homekit or Google Assistant is ideal for those with limited mobility. Whether it’s avoiding a tricky wall switch or simply saving time, voice control takes the stress away.
From a simple table lamp to outdoor security lights, smart lighting offers:
Outdoor cameras and motion sensor lights can make homes up to 300 times safer
Adjusting lights with your circadian rhythms can improve your sleep
Reduced wattage LED bulbs conserve considerably more energy
Customisable lights like Nanoleaf set the mood for working, exercising or sleeping
Products and tools like Wiz or Siri are designed to work with mobile devices for ease of use.
El coste de la instalación de iluminación doméstica inteligente depende de lo que quieras instalar. Como productos independientes, las bombillas inteligentes pueden costar entre 9 y 64 dólares cada una, aunque el ahorro de energía que ofrecen merece la pena.
Otras instalaciones, como los interruptores reguladores de intensidad, pueden costar entre 25 y 77 dólares cada una, y también hay que tener en cuenta los costes del electricista.
Si quieres una integración completa que incluya luces interiores y exteriores, puedes esperar pagar entre 3.856 y 12.855 dólares. Naturalmente, tendrás que pagar más para tener un sistema agnóstico que se conecte con cualquier bombilla y dispositivo. Por ejemplo, el puente Philips Hue puede soportar Zigbee Light Links.
