Often the journey to a smart home begins with lights. People want to play with their lights and create different ambiances to suit their varying moods. Therefore, a question comes to their mind – “Can you put a dimmer switch on any light<\/em><\/strong>?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now for the uninformed, a dimmer switch is a device that controls the intensity of your lights. For example, if you are in a somber mood and don’t want too much brightness, you can lower your lights with a dimmer switch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, dimmer switches have been around for a long time, and having just dimmer switches doesn’t make your home smart; after all, these devices regulate the voltage supply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the decision to move to dimmer switches from regular On and Off switches shows that you want more choices in life. For instance, many people (like me) get the rather expensive Philip Hue lights to enjoy their fantastic color spectrum and light up our dinner parties and events. While they may be a bit hard on the wallet, they last for a long time if used properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Philips also has an exciting range of outdoor lights<\/a> that work wonders for your exteriors. Wait! I digress; let’s go back to talking about dimmer switches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
