Wireless Lighting Network

Wireless lighting uses your router’s wireless technology to allow you to control and manage your lights from a

smart device. To do this, the Gateway in your lighting kit is built to communicate with the wireless light bulbs.

Since the Gateway connects to your wireless router, other devices connected to that same router (such as your

smart device) can access the Gateway.

With your wireless light bulbs connected to the Gateway, your smart device can control them as long as the

smart device is running the appropriate application. The lighting application enables your smart device to connect

to the Gateway through your wireless router connection and in turn control and manage the attached network

lighting.

Local vs. Remote Connection

In networking, you will commonly hear the following terms to describe how a device may be connecting to the

network:

 Local refers to a network connection when the device is connected directly to that network’s router.

For example, when you are at home, your smart device would be connected to your wireless router

and therefore would be connected locally. You would not have to use an Internet or mobile data

connection because your smart device is already connected directly through your router. It can

access your lighting network locally because your lighting network is also attached to the same

router (through the Gateway).
