What are the benefits of smart security lights?

There are lots of reasons why you should upgrade to smart lighting. Take a look at the following benefits and see for yourself. When it comes to energy efficiency, most smart lights on the market use LED technology which are known for their low energy use. Very little power actually goes to waste because LEDs convert more than 80% of power into visible light. You will save money with smart security lights as they automatically switch off during the day. Traditional security lights might add to your bills, especially if you forget to turn them off, which is easily done.

Durability

Smart security lights have an extended lifespan which lasts between 35,000 and 100,000 hours. The motion-sensor lights only go on when they are triggered, which means that the lumens are saved from burning out due to prolonged use. This means lower bills in the long run, which can only be a good thing.

Be more secure

Due to the motion sensors, smart security lights come on automatically when a person walks within range. Some fixtures can actually be programmed to send alerts through the mobile app is anything unusual is detected near your property. Then you can take the appropriate action.

Convenience

Smart security lights provide a level of convenience which hasn't been possible before. For example, you no longer need to physically switch them on when darkness falls, and you don't have to worry about turning them off either, because they have a dusk until dawn photocell feature. One of the biggest pluses of smart security lighting is that because of their connectivity features, you can easily view video footage from wherever you are. This gives you the peace of mind that you can keep your home or business safe and secure, even when you are away. Some smart camera lights also come with sound recording features which can be used to listen in on intruders conversation and collect valuable information, without them even realising.
