Outdoor Smart Lighting: Control Lights with Your Phone

Smart outdoor lighting has become an expectation in modern garden design. Today’s clients want flexibility, simplicity and reliable performance, all controlled from the convenience of their phone. The Elipta Kinetic Smart System, available from Lighting for Gardens, delivers exactly that: professional control designed specifically for outdoor environments.

At the heart of the system is its kinetic switching technology. Unlike traditional wireless switches, Elipta kinetic switches and fobs require no batteries and no wiring. Each press generates its own energy, transmitting a signal to the connected module. This means reduced maintenance, no battery replacements, and long-term reliability, which is ideal for professional installers and discerning homeowners alike.

The system includes the KIN1B 1-Gang IP65 Kinetic Switch, a robust, weatherproof solution suitable for outdoor mounting. With an IP65 rating, it’s designed to withstand the demands of garden environments, making it perfect for patios, pergolas and exterior walls. The 2G switch is only used for the dimming module KDIMRFB, the left button provides the On/off function, and the right button controls the dimming side of things.

For handheld convenience, the KINFKG Kinetic Fob IP65 offers compact, portable control. Ideal for homeowners who want flexibility without reaching for their phone, this weather-resistant fob allows instant activation of lighting circuits while maintaining the same wireless, battery-free advantages as the wall switches.

Behind the scenes, compact receiver modules connect the switches and enable smart functionality. The KINRFB 1-Channel Switch Module supports LED loads up to 300W and incandescent loads up to 800W, making it versatile enough for a wide range of garden lighting installations. For projects requiring dimming capability, the KDIMRFB 1-Channel Dimming Module (Trailing Edge) supports LED loads up to 100W and incandescent up to 200W, delivering smooth, professional dimming performance.

One of the most powerful aspects of the Elipta Kinetic Smart System is its integration with smart app control. Via the TUYA app (available on Android and iOS), users can control their outdoor lighting directly from their phone. This enables scheduling, remote access and scene creation, allowing lighting to respond to daily routines or seasonal changes. Whether switching lights on before arriving home or setting an automatic evening schedule, control is always accessible.

The system offers up to a 100 metre range (line of sight), providing strong signal coverage across larger gardens. Additionally, up to 10 switches or fobs can be paired per circuit, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-point control, making it deal for larger landscapes or commercial applications. Installation is straightforward, with compact modules designed for easy integration into professional lighting systems.

For garden designers, installers and homeowners seeking reliable smart control without complexity, the Elipta Kinetic Smart System provides the perfect balance of durability, innovation and convenience. By combining IP65-rated kinetic switches, powerful switch and dimming modules, and full app connectivity, outdoor lighting becomes easier to manage and more responsive to the way your clients live outdoors.

Smart control is no longer just about turning lights on and off. With Elipta, it’s about delivering a professional system that performs beautifully, reliably and intelligently, all the while being controlled from the palm of your hand.
