I'd not thought of this before until I came across some interesting lighting products. Using wireless lighting control indoors is almost second nature to me. I love the technology, to be honest. I can't remember the last time I touched a switch at home to turn lights on or off.
Okay … I haven't fully integrated the kitchen yet … but that's coming soon to a Maurer home near me. The lights I have in there aren't "smart" enough. And they cost me a good chunk of change, so I don't want to trash them.

Smarter Lighting for Smarter Homes
It's kind of been a theme lately. Smart offices, smart buildings … and
smart homes. Believe me, I'm all for it. It's not that I'm to lazy to
turn off lights. It's just that, well, sometimes I forget.
Automation and voice control help overcome my forgetfulness.

Get BUG-gy to Control Outdoor Light Pollution
Controlling commercial outdoor lighting isn’t only important for energy
efficiency, it’s also important for human and animal health. Excessive
outdoor lighting can affect sleeping patterns, impact bird migration and
deprive all of us of views of the nighttime sky.

Don’t Be Blue – Outdoor Lighting Has Warmed Up
Correlated color temperature (CCT) has become a hot topic in commercial
outdoor lighting, as many have argued LED-based fixtures are just too,
well, cool. In part, this is because this newer technology produces a
different kind of light than the high-pressure sodium and metal halide
fixtures we all became accustomed to during those technologies’ decades
of outdoor use.
