Jacuzzi® Lights: Light Up Your Outdoor Living Space with Smart Lighting
Smart home technology has advanced beyond the four walls of our homes into outdoor living areas. App-enabled smart outdoor lighting enables us to create a specific backyard mood, illuminate high-traffic areas for safety, and improve security. Best of all, with options that range from simply switching out a light bulb to installing smart switches or smart lighting fixtures, adding smart lighting to outdoor décor can be easy and affordable. So, what are your options? Here are a few to consider.
Wireless Control Helps You Set the Mood with Lighting
Whether you’re hosting a party or enjoying a relaxing after-hours soak in your spa, outdoor lighting can help you set the tone for your backyard retreat. Look for outdoor lights that provide plenty of options to adjust the color and temperature of the bulb, and multiple control capabilities—including apps, sensors, or even voice activation.
Look for wireless fixtures, bulbs, sensors, and switches that operate through its own hub, called the Hue Bridge, that ensures your lights work even if your internet goes down. Some even interface with voice technology like Amazon Alexa and Google Home, and integrate seamlessly with home automation systems.
Add Greater Flexibility to Your Outdoor Lighting Design
Access to electricity is sometimes a challenge in backyards and other outdoor living areas. Battery-powered lighting options enable you to take your smart lights anywhere. Look for smart lighting that can withstand high humidity, making it a good fit to illuminate your yard for twilight parties. Many let you create the mood you want with multiple pre-sets through an app.
Eye-Catching Designs Can Set Your Outdoor Living Area Apart
To create the lighting design you want, sometimes you need to look toward unconventional products. LED lights in various shapes, waterproof lighting that can illuminate tables or ice buckets can turn heads at your next gathering.
Smart lighting on the market include waterproof, cordless, portable fixtures, all controllable via a Bluetooth mesh network through an app on your smartphone or your home automation system. Perfect to light a path from your patio to your back door, these fixtures add a touch of high-class “wow” to any yard.
Use Smart Lighting to Keep Your Family Safe
Smart lighting is not just about outdoor ambiance; it’s also about your family’s security. If you have a smart doorbell, it can be paired with a floodlight cam that utilizes smart technology to keep you safe. With features like a motion-activated security camera with built-in floodlights, a siren alarm, and two-way audio, today’s smart floodlight cam can alert you to intruders.
Outdoor lighting can enhance any entertainment experience. Whether you choose to switch out a few bulbs for smart LEDs or design an outdoor sanctuary with a variety of connected lighting products, the technology is more accessible than ever before. To choose the best outdoor lighting, consider your specific needs, your budget, and any existing smart home technology you may want to integrate with your smart lighting. Most systems are flexible and scalable, so you can continue adding lights as desired and embrace technology from the comfort of your smart device.
