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. You can also use your smartphone to control your lighting network and set up schedules to
automatically turn your lights on and off at predefined times.
Maximum Number of Network Light Bulbs
There is a limit to the number of light bulbs at which the performance of the lighting network begins to decrease.
For example, the time it takes a light bulb to respond may start to increase if too many light bulbs are installed on
the lighting network. Testing has shown that the lighting network should be set to a maximum of 250 light bulbs
to maintain reliability in performance.
Planning Your Lighting Network
Whether you have only one wireless light bulb or you are replacing your entire home 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 rooms and
lighting groups to be able to better manage them across your home.
Note: Light fixtures that have dimmer controls are not recommended for your network light bulbs. However, they can be used if
the dimmer level is set to 100%.
