How the latest LED technology is making your home lighting more adaptable
For most of us, the bedroom is more than a slumber chamber — it’s an expression of self. The living room? A projection of our personalities, our tastes, our life experiences — where we welcome loved ones and complete strangers to dwell with us as well as a bit of humble bragging. We don’t just decorate them. We engineer them.
Yet, despite all this care, we tend to neglect the light that illuminates all of this meticulous work and sets the tone for our daily lives. It’s not that we don’t care about light (we wouldn’t have social photo filters such as “1977” and Noir” if we didn’t), but we think of it as a constant that we buy once and live with indefinitely, like a tattoo, or a parakeet. The main reason we finally get around to changing our bulbs? When they go out, according to market research by Philips Lighting.
To make your favorite rooms really shine, upgrade to a Philips SceneSwitch LED bulb to boost your room today. This bulb has three colors that allow users to switch between functional soft white light, energizing daylight and a cozy warm glow.
And unlike other adjustable lights that require a tedious dimmer switch (and an undue bout of shock therapy upon installation), the Philips SceneSwitch LED bulb simply screws into your existing light fixture — no extra guest work required.
In the bedroom
You’re looking to retreat to a sanctuary, not trigger awful memories of the buzzing overhead lights at the DMV. If you’re sharing the room, there’s a good chance you and your partner may disagree over the lights: One in five couples surveyed by Philips Lighting said they disagree with their partner over the color of the lights, and one in three cited quarrels over the dimmer switch.
Quit throwing shade and purchase a Philips SceneSwitch LED bulb. Flip the switch once for a functional 800 lumen soft white light for times when you want just enough light, like watching TV or reading in bed.
When it’s time to get cozy and count sheep, flip the switch again for a warm 80 lumen glow, which is dim enough to cancel out the blue light from your smartphone and lull you into restful sleep before you know it.
For the living room
You’ll want a dependable light that matches the mood of the space, whether you’re trying to stay focused while working from home or entertaining into the wee hours of the morning. And, because the living room happens at the speed of life, your lights should be ready at a moment’s notice, rather than hemming and hawing about when they’d prefer to heat up.
From the lounge chair to the loveseat, Philips SceneSwitch LED has you covered. When you’re doing your taxes on the coffee table, flip the switch once for energizing daylight, which casts a clean white light over your space to keep you focused. Flip again to return to a softer, functional white light for the waning hours of a family gathering.
Your bedroom and living room are crying for the flexible lighting options that’ll make them truly picturesque (and less reliant on liberal filter usage), so treat them to a glowing makeover with Philips SceneSwitch LED — there’s no reason to stay in the dark about the right light.
