Lighting is making a big transformation. It evolved from on/off switch to a voice assistant-compatible connected system integral to a homes physical security and lifestyle. Not only regulating the quality of the physical spaces we work, live, and play in, but also providing comfort and convenience that many of us today expect. Advances in technology, including the proliferation of the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence, has opened up new possibilities for the lighting industry. Weve seen LED lighting revolutionize inefficiencies in electricity consumption, while smart bulbs and LED strips offer vast ranges of advanced colors and brightness. In terms of smart home lighting control, voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home allow users to switch lights on and off, dim and brighten, as well as enable automated lighting control. Companies like LIFX have gone further and created innovative lighting systems that can be combined with your voice assistant setup to enable voice control over multiple lights across your home. Adopting a connected lighting system can result in improved safety, security, and energy savings. Automated lighting control can naturally provide an added layer of security to your home or office, since it can be programmed to switch on and off when certain conditions are met, or to switch on/off according to your preferences and lifestyle. So as time goes by, the power of light continues to shine and connect us regardless of the space we live in. The potential of lighting to provide an improved quality of life, a safer and more secure home, and energy savings, is no longer science fiction, but very much real.
