Even when it's as simple as lighting system.

There's something about technology that is just so fun so when we received a sample of WiZ smart lighting and accessories, we spent quite some time exploring the features!

Signify has launched the latest generation of the multi-protocol WiZ smart lighting system in Malaysia.

WiZ offers a comprehensive range of affordable smart lights and accessories that are easy to set-up with Bluetooth and your existing Wi-Fi network. The addition of the WiZ system seamlessly fits Signify’s mission to let consumers feel the magic of light through accessible smart lighting products that are intuitive in use.

Recently, under the Smart Lighting Category, WiZ has been awarded the Best Product Design by a panel of esteemed judges from first-rate developers, interior designers, development authority and architects at the 11th Designer of The Year (DOTY) Awards 2020.

Plug & Play: Simple and smart lighting for everyone

The WiZ Connected portfolio includes lights and accessories that are very easy to install and enable consumers to instantly experience the perks of smart lighting. Just screw in the new WiZ light, download the intuitive WiZ mobile app and directly start to enjoy the lights.

The newest products come with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dual protocol chips which make the pairing process even easier and more reliable.

In the near future, Signify will roll out this great feature to the full WiZ product range. Via different modes, consumers can easily set the perfect light to study, create a cozy setting by mimicking a fireplace or candlelight, and automate and synchronize lights with daily activities or schedule lights to smoothly wake you up or support your bedtime routine.

Voice and Smart Accessories to easily manage lights

In addition, consumers use WiZ to easily manage lights by using voice control with Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Siri shortcuts, without utilizing the app.

Another option is using the universal WiZmote, which enables consumers to easily control the lights and customize favorite modes for each room. Or take the WiZ motion sensor, which enables hands-free control for easy user experience and automatically switches your lights on to a predefined setting as you enter the room.

It even works when the Wi-Fi connection is down, thanks to the same low energy RF protocol as on the WiZmote. Simply walk by to trigger the lights to switch on. And for some more smart lighting magic, install the new WiZ smart plug and simply turn any light into a smart light instantly, as it will then allow you to control it via the WiZ app or remote.

So many options, so little effort

The WiZ app’s interface is user-friendly and intuitive with an easy drag and drop system to organize and control lights and accessories. Pre-set scenes and routines simplify daily living and help consumers to find the perfect light setting for any moment of the day.

Circadian rhythm settings automatically choose the right type of light depending on the time of day. Cool, energetic light with bright intensity for a productive morning, gradually shifting to a soft warm dimmed light for a relaxing evening. It is like following the sun cycle, but indoors.

We loved this feature although we must say it takes a lot more than the right kind of lighting to maintain a good sleep routine - like discipline and self-control, which we lack.

Give your guests control

The straightforward WiZ mobile app offers the opportunity to let multiple users manage the lights with different permissions. Household members can easily share the access right of the WiZ “home” function with each other.

Other members can simply download the app and enter the invitation code, without configuration. Guests can therefore also enjoy control of the lights once they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

The newest and coolest products

The launch of the WiZ ecosystem in Europe means that the whole WiZ connected portfolio will now be widely available, including multiple new and updated WiZ products and accessories:

1. Wi-Fi + Bluetooth bulbs and spots in color and tunable white, including the most powerful connected bulb on the market with the new 100W equivalent A 67 (1600 lm) as well as the standard E27 bulb, GU10 spot, E14 candle and large round E27 bulb (G95). They all provide full color to create a great ambiance, brighten up your home with cool white and create a cozy atmosphere with warm white.
