Zero-Forgot Lighting Step 4 of 4

Eliminate 'Forgotten Lights.'
Zero Waste. Zero Effort.

Habitual waste in bathrooms and garages costs $80–$200/year. LEDs are great, but automation is the only 100% permanent solve.

Set it and forget it. By combining Lutron's industrial reliability with Hue's intelligence, we eliminate manual switching forever.

The 4 Lighting Leaks That Never Stop

The Forgotten Room Walk

Spot lights on in empty bathrooms, garages, and pantries. One 60W bulb left on 12 hours/day = $35/year. Multiply by every forgettable room.

The Bulb Era Audit

Identify remaining CFLs or non-LED bulbs in high-traffic areas. CFLs use 4× the power of LEDs and have 3× the heat output. Old bulbs = burning money.

The Switch Test

Identify switches that are "almost always on" by habit. Kitchen under-cabinet lights and hallway fixtures are the worst. Automation replaces the habit.

The Outdoor Glow Audit

Check if security lights are on during daylight hours. A 100W security light on 10 extra hours/day = $45/year in pure waste.
