Smart lights are an affordable option for most home owners. Apart from the initial cost of equipment and installment, the cost of power for remote light control doesn’t differ much from more traditional/manual modes of control – LED light bulbs are generally more energy efficient than incandescent ones, while the smart plugs needed to connect and control your lighting system have a negligible effect on your energy consumption. There are many light control options available and chosing the right one for you can be a challenge. The best advice is not to get the maximum available or the minimum needed, but to take a few minutes and really think about what you expect from your smart lights and reflect on the possibilities of expanding the principles of light control onto other home systems in the future. Once you have rough answers to these questions, you should consult a specialist from the field to help you chose products that fit your needs as closely as possible. Smart lights are the foundation of your future smart home, which makes chosing and installing them a fun and exciting moment. Our advice is to take advantage of this time, enjoy the process and stay open to learning and embracing new possibilites and modes of operation.
