Convenience and Control

Experience the ultimate convenience in your alfresco oasis! With the ability to control lights through mobile apps or voice commands, you can easily adjust the intensity and color temperature of your lights from anywhere without disrupting your activities. Whether you are relaxing at the pool or preparing a meal in your outdoor kitchen, adjust your lights with ease and elevate the ambiance and overall experience completely hassle-free.

Enhanced Security

Security is a major concern for hundreds of families across California, but smart outdoor lighting can be an amazing tool to enhance it this summer. Program your smart lighting to automatically turn on when the sun sets and keep your property beautifully illuminated whether you are home or not. This will create the illusion that your home is occupied even while you are away, which is particularly important during summer vacations when families often leave their property unattended for extended periods. 

Moreover, outdoor lighting solutions can be equipped with motion sensors that deter potential intruders from attempting to enter your home. By illuminating the area as soon as movement is detected, you can scare them off and prevent the situation from escalating. 

Energy Savings

How can adding a new lighting system to your home help you reduce energy consumption? Well, with smart lighting, it’s possible. Traditional outdoor lights often run for hours, consuming significant amounts of electricity. Smart lighting systems, however, come with scheduling options that optimize energy use. During long summer evenings, this can translate into substantial energy savings and lower electricity bills.

Integration with Other Smart Home Devices

Outdoor lighting isn’t a standalone technology; it can be seamlessly integrated with other smart home devices to create a cohesive and efficient system. For example, lights can be synchronized with surveillance cameras to ensure clear visibility for recordings and add an extra layer of security. You can also integrate them with your outdoor entertainment system and enjoy the perfect soft glow needed for a movie night under the stars.
