What Is Smart Smart Recessed Lighting?

Smart recessed lighting is a type of LED lighting that can be controlled remotely. Typically, each light is controlled by its own app, which allows you to dim the light, change the color, and set timers. You can also typically control multiple lights at once, making it easy to create ambiance in any room. 

In addition to controlling the lights with your phone, some smart recessed lighting systems also work with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home. This allows you to turn on the lights with just your voice, making it even easier to create a perfect mood in any space. 

So whether you're looking for a way to save energy or just want to add a little more convenience to your life, smart recessed lighting is a great option.

Smart Home Lighting - Smart Recessed Lighting, LED, Light Bulbs

Every day, our homes are getting smarter; virtual assistants, video doorbells, motion detectors, are just some of the revolutionary household items that make our lives easier. And as one of the most important interior considerations, it's only right that smart lighting exists, too.

For too long, we've been restricted to minimal home lighting capabilities. On, off, or dimmed. Fortunately for us, smart lighting systems give us extra control!

Adjust brightness, create schedules, add colorful effects, and control bulbs through your smartphone or smart assistant (Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa).

It all sounds magical, and it's actually pretty simple. Smart bulbs connect to your Wi-Fi, through which other devices, such as your tablet or smartphone, can communicate all your demands - all but eliminating the need for traditional wall switches!

What's even better is smart light bulbs easily screw into the existing sockets.

No stress, no fuss, just convenience without compromise.

What Are the Benefits of Having Smart Lighting?

Set the Mood or Atmosphere with RGB Colors

The use of smart lighting is becoming increasingly popular as homeowners look for ways to create a unique and inviting atmosphere in their homes. RGB (red, green, blue) smart lights are particularly versatile, as they can create a wide range of moods and atmospheres. 

For example, blue light can help to create a calming and relaxing ambiance, while red light can be used to add a feeling of warmth and romance. Green light is often used to create a refreshing and energizing atmosphere. By carefully selecting the right colors, it is possible to completely transform the feel of any space. With smart lighting, the possibilities are endless.

Automate Your Lighting with a Timer

With smart lighting, you can automate your lights to turn on and off at specific times. This is a great way to save energy and money, and is also convenient if you want your lights to turn on and off while you're away on vacation. You can even set them to come on in the morning and turn off at night, or have them come on a few hours before you get home from work! 

So whether you want an early morning wake-up call or have your lights automatically dim in the evening to help you unwind, make your own automated schedule to match your schedule with BAZZ Smart Home lighting!

How to Choose a Smart RGB Light

When selecting a smart RGB light, a few factors must be kept in mind. First, consider the intended use of the light. If you need a light that can be dimmed or controlled remotely, you'll need to spend a bit more to get a quality product. 

Second, take a look at the bulb type. LED bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescents, so they'll save you money in the long run. 

Finally, check the compatibility of the light with your smart home system. Not all smart lights are compatible with all smart home systems, so it's important to ensure that the model you select will work with your current setup.

What Kinds of Smart Bulbs Do You Need?

If you want smart bulbs to replace those in place in floor lamps or hanging ceiling fixtures, A19 smart bulbs are the likely solution. The A19’s shape emits omnidirectional lighting, dispersing light evenly across the surrounding environment.

But when you are needing directional lighting, BR30 light bulbs and recessed lighting are a better choice. These point light straight ahead, providing direct task lighting instead of dispersing the light. The perfect match for hallways, home offices, and above kitchen workstations. 

What Smart Recessed Lighting Fixture Do You Need? 

Recessed lighting is a practical and stylish way to illuminate spaces and areas requiring accent or task lighting. Smart recessed lighting fixture has three components that define it: housing, trim style, and bulb type.

When considering recessed lights, you have to pay attention to the type and size of the bulb or lamp the fixture uses. The standard size has long been 6-inch, but as the trend has evolved, spotted 4-inch lighting has slowly taken center stage.

Just like regular bulbs, LED should be your preference as they also require significantly less energy and less maintenance. And as a general rule, you should have lighting with a warm white colour temperature in spaces such as the living room and bedroom, and bright white colour temperature for kitchens and workspaces. Or better yet, have a bulb that can tune your lighting from cool to warm!

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What Are the Differences Between A19 & BR30?

A19 and BR30 are simply two different standardized shapes for light bulbs.

A19 bulbs are a classic, everyday light bulb - used for a multitude of applications and can be used in almost any fixture. The BR30, however, uses a reflector inside the bulb to better point the light straight ahead from its flat end. For that reason, BR30 bulbs are a better choice for directional lighting.

2) Are All Bazz Light Bulbs Dimmable?

Yes! Whether it’s recessed lighting or an LED bulb, all BAZZ smart lighting is dimmable. You can easily alter the brightness of the lighting directly through your smartphone.  

3) What Does the Color Temperature Mean?

Colour temperature basically means the level of warmth and coolness in a lightbulb - measured in degrees Kelvin (K). When looking at the colour temperature of a bulb, you should be aware that ‘warm colours’ are on the lower end of the Kelvin spectrum while ‘cool colours’ have a high colour temperature. 

Bulbs have different colour temperatures because what might work in one room might not be suitable in another. For example, warm/soft whites are ideal for bedroom and living spaces, but cooler whites are best for the kitchen and bathroom.  

The three basic colour temperatures for light bulbs are warm/soft white (2700-3000K), cool white (3500-4100K), and daylight (5000-6500K).
