Lighting_-_2019

Color

Your

World

Smart lights have

plenty of practical

applications, but

they can also be

lots of fun. Some

bulbs change color,

allowing you to set

a mood and create

ambience or mimic

the sunset and

sunrise to help you

ease in and out of

sleep. Others include

built-in speakers so

they can play music

and change colors in

rhythm. Parties will

never be the same.

MISSION CONTROLSmart bulbs

and fi xtures have built-in modules to

communicate with an app on your phone

or computer or with a digital assistant or

smart hub. HALO Home, Eaton

ALERT

“What’s coming down the

pike is the smart home being

more predictive and not just

reactive. Eventually, smart

lights will recognize that you

usually turn them off at 9 p.m.,

and your Alexa will ask if

you’re awake if the lights

are left on after that.”

—BRYANT BILAL, product marketing

manager, HALO Home, a division of Eaton

LIGHTING CAN BE AN EASY INTRODUCTION TO A

SMARTER HOME. IF YOU CAN ASK AN ECHO OR ALEXA DEVICE

TO TURN ON A LIGHT, YOU’RE JUST STEPS AWAY FROM ASKING

IT TO PREHEAT THE OVEN OR OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR.”
