Residential Smart Lighting Gaining Market Share

Smart LED lighting is gaining adoption in residential interior design

Both Forbes and the E-commerce site Houzz have recently published about the growing adoption of residential smart lighting. According to Houzz smart lighting grew from 14% of Houzz lighting purchases in 2021 to 17% in 2022. The March 31, 2023 Forbes article interviewed designers and found ever greater adoption rates. Designers around the country shared that smart lighting requests in projects have risen from 50% to 300%, in recent years. Some designers report adding a technology integrator to their design team.

Homeowner motivations include:

  • Safety and security
  • Privacy
  • Convenience
  • Enhancing aesthetics
  • Energy efficiency
  • Wellness / circadian
  • Dimming to 1%
  • Color tuning and color changing
  • Mobile device control
  • Voice control

The article notes the trend across both high-end and smaller-budget projects. In the past, smart lighting was more common in high-end projects. One technology integrator said he’s seeing smart lighting most in first-floor living spaces and the primary bedroom/bathroom suite.

Developers and builders who previously didn’t want the expense now feel it is necessary to offer smart lighting options in order to remain competitive.
