Lights & Appliances

Smart lighting is a lighting technology designed for energy efficiency.

Lighting is the deliberate application of light to achieve some aesthetic or practical effect. It includes task lighting, accent lighting, and general lighting. Smart appliances utilize modern computer and communications technology to make functions faster, cheaper and more energy-efficient.
