Basic Concepts of Wireless Lighting
Wireless light bulbs work with your light fixtures the same way as standard light bulbs. They are different,
however, in a couple of ways:
• The lighting element in the light bulb uses LED technology, making your lighting more energy
efficient.
• The light bulb includes wireless technology that allows the light bulb to connect to a network and be
managed remotely.
Because the light bulbs can be connected to a network, you have greater flexibility in how you use them. For
example, you can program your lighting network so that when you press a button upon arriving home, an
entryway and a hallway light turn on. Or when you go to bed, your remote control can turn off all lights on the
network.
Planning Your Lighting Network
Whether you have only one wireless light bulb, or you are replacing your entire home lighting with wireless light
bulbs, you should plan how you want the lighting on your network to behave. For example, if you only have one
light bulb you might want to place it in a central location that would be optimum for turning on and off when you
are away or arrive home. If you have multiple light bulbs, however, you might want to set them up in lighting
groups to be able to better manage them across your home.
