Buy smart wall lamps? What are the benefits?
Smart lighting brings many benefits. Not only is smart LED lighting many times more energy-efficient than traditional lighting, but the control, schedules and automation of the smart lighting is also very convenient. Below are a number of reasons why smart wall lamps are the best choice.

- Save with smart schedules: With smart wall lamps you can set schedules by means of the app on your smartphone. Decide for yourself when the lighting should automatically be switched on or off.This ensures the lighting is never left on unnecessarily long, helping you save on your energy costs.
- Integration with other smart devices: When you already have multiple smart devices in your home, the smart lighting can easily be paired with them. This enables the devices to communicate with each other, making your entire home smart! For example, consider a smart daylight sensor that captures sunlight and sends a signal to your smart curtain rails, causing the curtains or awning to close automatically.
- Automation: Automating the smart lighting is also very convenient. This allows you to choose when the lighting should turn on/off, or when it should change colour at a specific time of day. Naturally, there are many more possibilities.Too many to mention!
- Atmospheric and creative possibilities: With smart wall lamps you can experiment with different colors, brightness, light effects and much more. For example, sync your lighting to the beat of the music! This gives your party extra atmosphere!
- Easily add smart accessories: With smart lighting you can always add smart wall switches, sensors, dimmers etc. to your app. These wireless switches run on batteries. This means you do not need to install any wiring, giving you complete flexibility in where you mount the switch.
Various control options for smart wall lamps
Tuya - Smart wall lamps
Smart WiFi - Tuya wall lamps work via the Tuya communication protocol. This is the most common type of smart lighting. WiFi smart lighting is very easy to install and significantly cheaper than the Zigbee variant. The Tuya protocol operates on your home's WiFi signal. This is why it is often referred to as WiFi smart wall lamps.
Tuya/WiFi wall lamps can be operated using multiple apps, including: Tuya app, Nedis Smartlife, Smartlife, Homeylux, Hoftronic Smart, Google Home and Amazon Alexa.
Zigbee - Smart Wall Lamps
Zigbee smart wall lamps operate via a Zigbee communication protocol. This is the premium option among communication protocols. It works more reliably than the Tuya protocol and allows you to bridge greater distances. You can also easily connect multiple devices to a single network without affecting the speed of your WiFi network. This is why Zigbee smart wall lighting is often somewhat more expensive.
For example, Philips HUE smart lighting also works with the Zigbee communication protocol.
Smart wall lighting installation
The installation of smart wall lighting is not very different from ordinary traditional lighting. You connect the wiring to the fixture and switch on the power. This is because smart wall lighting also works on mains power.
The smart lamps will then start flashing, which means they are in "pairing mode". Now it is time to take out your smartphone and open the app. Tap the "plus" in the top right and add the smart lamps to your app.
After pairing, the lamps stop flashing, which indicates that the smart lamps have been successfully paired with your app.Now you can control the lights via the app!
