What is Smart LED Outdoor Lighting?

Smart LED Outdoor Lighting
Smart LED outdoor lighting is an integrated system that uses energy efficient LED bulbs with intelligent, connected controls. As a professionally installed, built-in system these stunning displays are much more permanent and architectural than traditional seasonal string lights that are hung and stored year after year.
Controlled from a smartphone app, you can change the color, program fun animations, schedule and dim the brightness, all remotely at the touch of a button. It’s a set it and forget it system with endless customizability for any holiday, game day or backyard bash.
Why Smart Lighting Beats the Rest
Making the switch to smart lights is a worthwhile addition to your home for a number of reasons. In addition to gorgeous holiday lighting, there are other smart features to consider.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is a prime benefit of LED lighting. With the latest technology, LED smart bulbs use up to 75% less power. That’s less for you to pay on your energy bills each month and an energy-efficient option for holiday lighting.
Customization
If you’re really going to appreciate the value of smart lighting, it’s important to consider how limitless the options are. It’s never been easier to design your own lighting from the comfort of your couch with a simple app.
- Colors: Options for millions of colors, matching your every whim. From the traditional red and green for Christmas, to orange and purple for Halloween, to your team’s colors for game day.
- Effects: With streaming color animations, twinkling stars, and chasing lights, there’s so much more to your lights than static colors. Whether it’s a warm glow for a romantic night in or a vibrant spectrum for a birthday bash.
- Zones: Many systems allow you to control different zones in your home. Imagine having the front porch in a warm white while your roofline cycles through red and green.
The Convenience Factor
First off, there’s no need to ever fumble with a string of outdoor lights again. This is permanent outdoor lighting. Set it up once and you’re all set to turn it on whenever you please.
There’s also the aspect of convenience that comes with being able to set a schedule for when the lights come on and off. Program it to automatically light up at sunset and turn off at sunrise and your house will always be perfectly illuminated without any manual effort on your part. Even if you’re leaving town over the holidays, you can still manage your outdoor lighting remotely with a simple internet connection.
Uses for Outdoor Permanent Lighting Beyond the Holidays
As noted, smart LEDs are ideal for outdoor holiday displays and seasonal decor, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also be utilized at other times of the year.
In fact, the versatility of a smart lighting system is really where the real value of outdoor permanent lighting is found. Your outdoor lighting isn’t just something you invest in for a few weeks out of the year. It’s something that will enhance your home every day.
Celebrate Every Holiday
Because your smart system is always connected and ready to go, your house is always ready for the party, even if it’s just for your own special occasions.
- National Holidays: Display your patriotic pride in red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July, pastels for Easter, or green for St. Patrick’s Day.
- Personal Milestones: Announce a new addition to the family with pink or blue lights, celebrate a graduate in your alma mater’s colors, or set a romantic mood for a big anniversary.
- Game Days: Show your team spirit by illuminating your house in your favorite team’s colors on game day.
