Bulbrite Solana Smart Lighting Patio Update

We recently got a pool and it completely changed our daily lives. We spend so much time in our outdoor space now; eating, swimming, hanging out by the fire pit, soaking in the hot tub… It’s like a whole new house! Often, we lose track of time out here because we’re enjoying ourselves so much. It’s not a bad “problem” to have.

I learned of Bulbrite Solana and their smart, programmable, lightbulbs and knew I wanted to try them out for our patio. I thought it would be really nice to have the lights come on and off by themselves to remind us of the time and also make the patio well lit and pretty.

Now, at 8:00 pm, our patio lights flick on, letting us know “Hey- get your kids to bed!” Ha! But they do a lot more than that. The lights come on, and a mood is instantly created. You can choose the brightness and even the temperature of the lighting- all from your phone. I love that I can control the temperature because I have such a hard time finding the right “color” of lighting for so many spaces in my home and client homes. Some read too yellow making your space look almost orange and some read too white and make your space look like a hospital. With the app, I can keep playing with the temperature until its juuuuust right.

Oh- and how many times have you forgotten to turn a light off over night? Wasting energy and also wasting your energy if you do happen to remember and have to get out of your cozy bed and turn it off? 1, 2, 3, not it! The timer can be set to turn the lights off automatically. I’m actually going to get another set for the front of our house for this reason! We always forget to turn the front lights off in the morning and with this app and the Bulbrite Solana bulbs, we can set it and forget it.

Another thing I like about these lightbulbs is how they look. I’ve tried other smart bulbs before, and they looked like smart bulbs, if you know what I mean. ;) If you’re using them in a lamp and they’re hidden, that doesn’t really matter. But if you’re using them in a clear or exposed light fixture, it definitely matters. The Bulbrite Solana lightbulbs look pretty and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. I chose the clear Smart LED Standard bulb to fit my outdoor sconces and you’d never know they were “smart”.

I love the function, the convenience, and the style of these lightbulbs. I also love how they’ve made our lives a little easier and a little brighter.
