Top 5 Electrical Products to Save you Time & Money in 2022

Now that the new year is in full swing, many of us have taken a long, hard look at our finances and have decided that we need to save money wherever we can. 

With the rising cost of living expenses and high inflation rate, it makes sense to invest in products that can save you both time and money.

Here at Brite Lighting and Electrical Wholesalers, we keep a wide range of products equipped with the latest technology that can help you reach your money-saving goals. 

Here are our top 5 products to save you time and money for the year:

Many modern homes feature smart technology that the homeowner can control from their smartphones, or even remotely when far away from home. 

Smart bulbs can be programmed to switch on and off at a chosen time, saving you time and money. These bulbs also allow you to change the colour and brightness from your smartphone to suit different moods and environments in your home.  

Instead of arriving home in the dark, an already-illuminated front room can provide you with the feeling of safety you need. Since it only turns on when it gets dark (or at a predetermined time), it can help you save on your electricity bill. 

It’s also very easy to use a smart bulb if your home already has smart feature capability as smart bulbs can integrate with Google and Alexa. Simply replace it with any regular light bulb and watch it perform its magic. 

Brite Lighting stocks a range of smart bulbs that can help you transform your home today into the smart home of tomorrow:

There is nothing worse than the power going out in the evening, and being plunged into darkness! 

While stumbling around for a torch or to light a candle, it’s easy to trip or not to find what you’re looking for. 

If this sounds like you, then an emergency bulb might be an excellent solution for you. 

An emergency light bulb will automatically switch on when the power goes out, illuminating your home’s interior and eliminating the need for messy candles or torches with flat batteries. 

Before the next bout of load shedding, make sure you have a reliable emergency light bulb from Brite Lighting!

Did you know that astute switches can help you save money in 2022? Designed to allow you to control your household electrical appliances and more (even when away from home), Astute lets you decide when to turn on or off your geyser, pool pump, air conditioning, and more using your smartphone. 

No one likes to come home to no hot water, and many people simply leave their geysers on permanently, an unnecessary waste of money. With an astute switch, however, you can program your geyser to turn on a few hours before you need to shower. 

The same can be said about air conditioning. It’s expensive to run and if it’s the middle of summer and you can’t bear thinking about arriving home to a boiling hot house, you have a problem on your hands. Luckily, an astute switch allows you to use your air conditioning only when you need it through scheduling and smart timing features. 

If you have electrical outdoor lights, you can use your astute switch to program them to come on when it gets dark, and then turn off when the sun rises.

With loadshedding seeming to be a permanent fixture in South African life, we need to learn to live with it the best we can. 

One of the best and most effective ways to keep your home or office functioning fully during load shedding is to invest in a high-quality inverter. 

Inverters keep your essential devices and electrical appliances running during a power outage. You can keep your WiFi router running, TV, computer, or many other electrical devices you deem necessary. 

Instead of using up your valuable cell phone data to connect to the internet, an inverter can save you lots of money by keeping your WiFi going. 

Depending on the inverter you choose, you could also keep your fridge and freezer running, and won’t have to unnecessarily throw out food that spoils. 

We have inverters for large families with high power requirements during power outages, medium-capacity inverters for smaller households, and small models for single folks who only need to power up one or two devices during power outages. 

Brite Lighting has a wide range of inverters to suit all budgets and power needs. Click here to browse our inverters that are available online. 

Solar lights require no electricity, gaining all their energy from the sun (of which there is a lot here in South Africa). 

Once they’ve charged during the day, they are ready to turn on automatically when the sun goes down. 

Not only do solar lights save you money because you don’t pay anything to power them up, but they are also stylish and flexible. 

Whether you choose to place your solar lights in strategic places on your property for security purposes, or you prefer them to illuminate sections in your garden, they are definitely worth the investment.

Our solar rock lights effortlessly blend into your garden during the day but provide great illumination at night. 

Brite Lighting’s solar wall and street lights are excellent crime deterrents, even during a power outage, while our fence or deck lights can help you to enjoy your outdoor area at night. 

We have solar lights in all sizes, styles and uses so there will definitely be something to suit you and your household!
