Convincing people to buy into smart lighting can be a bit of a hard sell. While many people can see the benefits in installing a video doorbell or a smart thermostat, on the surface smart lighting doesn't seem that transformative. If you can’t see how smart lighting could work for you, it's probably because you’re not familiar with all the ways in which it works. 

For instance, when introducing a smart home element to a property, many automatically dismiss smart lighting, presuming that it means installing either colourful or super bright lights at home. While that functionality is available with smart lighting, unless you’re a teenager, the majority of people will never really use it.
