Automated lighting refers to lighting systems that can be controlled automatically, often using sensors or timers. These systems can adjust brightness based on the time of day, occupancy, or ambient light levels, enhancing energy efficiency and convenience. Many automated lighting systems can be integrated with smart home technology, allowing users to control lights remotely through smartphones or voice commands. This technology can improve safety by ensuring that lights turn on when someone enters a room or when it gets dark outside, providing both comfort and security in residential and commercial spaces.
