Timed lights may be an intimidating concept at first—after all, how does one set them up, and once they are installed and working, how do you figure out how to schedule the times on the lights to what you want them to be?
Thankfully, timed lights are becoming more and more popular, ensuring that installation and setup are becoming easier and more user-friendly as time goes on. And, once you have them in, there are a number of benefits:
- Power conservation. Whether it’s because you’re on vacation or you are simply a little bit forgetful, timed lights can help you keep your house illuminated when you need it to be, but make sure that the lights go off when you need them to, whether you are physically there to make it happen. This means that you aren’t racking up your electricity bill because you forgot to turn off your lights before going to bed or—worse—leaving for a month-long vacation.
- Convenience. Whether you’ve been working in a home office, relaxing on the couch, or you’re just walking in after a long day at work or a night out, sometimes you would rather just roll yourself into bed instead of doing your rounds through the house to make sure everything that’s shut off is shut off. Timed lights take care of this for you, ensuring that your lights are always off at bedtime and on again when it’s time to be up—all without you having to lift a finger.
- Safety. When you are off on a vacation, keeping your lights on the whole time is just as suspicious as keeping them off. Timed lights can make your home look more lived-in, even when you’re halfway across the globe.
With all their benefits, timed lights are a smart and convenient addition to any household.
