Smart Lighting

Choosing Smart Lighting

Smart lighting lets you set the mood, create schedules and automate lights around your routine. Start with where you want to use it, then check the fitting, connection type and compatible apps.

Types of Smart Lighting

• Smart bulbs: Replace standard bulbs with app-controlled white or colour bulbs. Check the fitting, such as B22 bayonet, E27 screw or GU10.
• Light strips: Flexible LED strips for behind TVs, under cabinets and along shelves. Check the length, extension options and power supply.
• Light panels: Modular decorative panels and lines that can be arranged on a wall. Starter kits include a controller and power supply, and expansion packs add more pieces.
• Lamps and night lights: Smart desk lamps, bedside lamps and motion-activated night lights, with wireless charging on some models.
• Switches and remotes: Wireless dimmers, remotes and switches for controlling lights without your phone.

Features to Compare

• Connection: Smart lights may use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee or Thread. Some need a hub or bridge, while Wi-Fi lights connect directly to your router.
• Platform support: Check compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home or Matter, as support varies by product.
• Colour and white tones: Compare full colour, tunable white and warm white options.
• Brightness: Check the stated brightness for the room or task, such as reading or ambient lighting.

Automate lighting with smart sensors and smart speakers, light up outdoor areas with smart floodlights, or set up your desk with home office tech.

Smart Lighting FAQs

Do smart bulbs need a hub?

Not always. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth bulbs can often connect directly, while Zigbee bulbs usually need a compatible hub or bridge. Check the requirements for each product.

Which bulb fitting do I need?

Check the base of your existing bulb. B22 bayonet and E27 screw fittings are common in Australian homes, and GU10 fittings are often used in downlights.

Can I use smart bulbs with a dimmer switch?

Smart bulbs are usually controlled through the app, so the wall switch normally needs to stay on. Many smart bulbs are not designed for use with a conventional dimmer switch, so check the product guidance.

Can I control smart lights when I'm away?

Yes, with a supported app and an internet connection. Some lighting systems need a hub or bridge for remote control.
