SEEN THE LIGHT?
Smart lighting can take your home illumination to the next level, but there’s a lot of jargon involved…
Regular lighting is straightforward. You can switch it on, or leave it off. And that’s it. But with smart lighting, your household lamps offer a whole new degree of control and a much wider range of capabilities. And to go with that, there’s a little bit of complexity involved. Here’s the most common terminology explained.
COLOUR TEMPERATURE
As well as a huge range of colours, most smart bulbs offer variations on white light, from a warm, yellow-tinted glow that’s gentle and relaxing for evenings in, to a cool, bluish tint that’s easier on the eyes if you’re working, reading or doing something that requires keen concentration. If you’re not interested in changing colours completely, some bulbs offer variations on white light only.
