Transform your Long Island home with smart lighting that sets the perfect mood, saves energy, and responds to your voice, schedule, or motion.
We install all types of smart lighting for Long Island homes. Smart bulbs like Philips Hue screw into existing fixtures and offer millions of color options. Smart switches from Lutron Caseta or Inovelli replace your wall switches and control any bulb in the circuit. Smart dimmers adjust brightness to set the mood. Light strips add accent lighting behind TVs, under cabinets, and along staircases. We help you choose the right approach for each room based on your goals, fixtures, and budget.
Smart lighting goes beyond turning lights on and off from your phone. We program scenes like Movie Night that dims the living room to 20% warm white, or Dinner Party that sets the dining room to soft amber. Schedules turn lights on at sunset and off at bedtime automatically. Motion sensors turn on hallway lights when you walk through at night and off after you pass. Vacation mode randomizes lights to make your Long Island home look occupied while you are away.
We handle the complete installation including swapping switches, mounting motion sensors, installing smart bulbs, connecting hubs, and programming your desired scenes and automations. For smart switches, we verify your wiring, a critical step since many older Long Island homes lack neutral wires in switch boxes and some brands require them. We configure everything to work with your preferred voice assistant and smart home app. You get a walkthrough so you know how to adjust scenes and add new automations.
Smart lighting costs on Long Island vary by approach. Smart bulbs start at $12-25 each. Smart switches run $40-60 each installed. A starter package covering 5 rooms with smart switches, basic scenes, and voice control costs $400 to $700 including equipment and installation. A full-home smart lighting system runs $800 to $2,000+. Call (516) 407-8111 for a custom quote based on your home.
Smart switches are generally better for permanent installations since they control any bulb in the circuit and work normally even if the smart hub is offline. Smart bulbs are better when you want color-changing capability or cannot replace the switch easily. For most Long Island homes, we recommend smart switches in main rooms and smart bulbs where you want color effects. We advise based on your specific fixtures and goals.
Some do, some do not. Lutron Caseta and certain Inovelli switches work without a neutral wire, which is important for many older Long Island homes built before the 1990s. We check your wiring during the installation and select compatible switches. If your wiring does not support smart switches at all, smart bulbs are the alternative. Call (516) 407-8111 and we will evaluate your wiring before recommending a solution.
Yes, with smart switches the experience is identical to regular switches. You flip the switch on and off as normal. Smart features like dimming, scheduling, and voice control are extras. With smart bulbs, the wall switch must stay on for the smart features to work, but we install switch guards or reconfigure switches to prevent accidental turn-off. We design every installation so everyone in the family can use the lights naturally.
