Home automation looms large in the future of smart living. And with so many devices and setups to choose from, consumers interested in upgrading their home for smart living tend to find that installing smart lighting is one of the most user-friendly way to get things started - as well as one with the most impact, as there are lights in virtually every part of the house.
The most basic smart lighting setup connects several Wi-Fi lights and switches to a home network. This allows homeowners to control and customize the behavior of each light remotely - through a smartphone app that pairs with the bulbs or using popular voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Being able to schedule the lights, change their colors for a particular home activity, or turn them on and off from a distance are just a few popular benefits of smart lighting. The coolest feature that a majority of owners will use, of course, is the technology's hallmark - controlling lighting with voice commands.

While the initial installation may cost more upfront, as Wi-Fi lights are more expensive than regular LEDs, the savings from lower energy use will more than make up for the extra setup costs in the long run. In addition to improving energy conservation, Wi-Fi bulbs generally last longer than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs and rarely have to be replaced, as some models last for more than 150,000 hours.
As smart lighting becomes ever more popular – with an expected market worth of $30 billion by 2025 at a 20.1 percent CAGR according to VynZ Research – now is the time to source eye-catching LED bulbs and multifunctional switches.
