One project we’d like to focus on here is the installation of timed lights—as the name states, timed lights are programmed to turn on and off on a schedule.
In this article, we’ll go over a few of the ways timed lights can benefit your home.
- Save Energy – One benefit of using timed lights is that it reduces your energy consumption. It’s easy to waste electricity by forgetting to turn lighting features off at night or when not in use, but you can easily eliminate this waste by putting your lights on timers or time sensor devices. That way, even if you forget to turn them off yourself, they will turn themselves off automatically after a certain amount of time.
- Increase Security – Another way timed lights can benefit your home is by increasing its security. Keeping your lights on a timer will make your home look like someone is living there, even when you are away. This, in turn, will discourage intruders from targeting your residence and give you greater peace of mind when you are away.
- Turn Off Decorations – Lastly, timed lights can be useful during holidays. Whenever you put up outdoor string lights or other festive decorations (such as inflatables), we recommend putting them on timers. That way, the decorations will turn themselves off at a certain time of night, so they don’t keep going until morning. Using timed lights for your holiday decor will help you save energy and avoid disturbing your neighbors with bright lights at night.
