It goes without saying that garage door lighting can be very convenient and offer security. When you have a smart garage door opener, it is possible to schedule when the lights come on and stay on even during the day. Not to mention that you can remotely turn the lights on and off. For instance, you can turn the lights off if you see that it is an overcast day.
