Lighting Groups
A lighting group is a set of network light bulbs that you can control together through your remote control. For
example, you might have a lighting group that includes light bulbs on the same floor. Or you might have a group
that includes hallway and entryway lights, making it easy to turn on or off as you arrive or leave home. All light
bulbs in the same group turn on and off together and brighten or dim to the same level. The following limitations
apply when working with network light bulbs and lighting groups in a system using remote control only:
• One light bulb can belong to only one lighting group.
• One remote control can control up to four different lighting groups.
• One lighting group can contain up to 40 light bulbs (the maximum light bulbs allowed in a remote
control only network).
Note: By default, each light bulb in your lighting kit is pre-assigned to a lighting group. Numbering on the lighting kit package
shows the lighting group to which each light bulb is assigned.
Multi-fixture Lights
When installing light bulbs or setting up lighting groups, you should consider how you want multi-fixture lights to
behave. Since power to the light has to remain on (so the remote control can access the light bulb) you would
use either all network light bulbs in a multi-fixture light or no network light bulbs at all. If you are using network
light bulbs in a multi-fixture light, you should add them all to the same lighting group so that they turn on and off
together (though you do not have to).
