Basic Concepts of Network Light Bulbs
Network 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 energy-efficient technology.
• 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. 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.
