WHAT IS SMART LIGHTING?

“It is lighting technology designed for energy efficiency while fulfilling an aesthetic or practical effect,” says Alok Hada, Director at Anusha Technovision, a home automation company. This implies that such a lighting system reduces your carbon footprint without compromising on the looks. “With smart lighting, conventional lights are swapped with technology enabled lights, which can be easily fixed into the existing sockets in your home. An inter-connected point links all the bulbs, giving control over the lighting from a unified area,” says Gurumukh Uttamchandani, Executive Director, Syska Group, adding, “Conventional light bulbs are operated by flipping a switch on and off whereas smart lights enable a user to control lighting using voice-controlled devices.”
