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 that you can access the light bulb from your smart device
or remote control) you would use either all network light bulbs in a multi-fixture light or no network light bulbs at
all.
When setting up your lighting through your smart device (which you will do in the Smart Device Application
chapter), you will see that you can set up a “virtual” light fixture. This means that you can set up any grouping of
light bulbs to operate (turn on and off together) as one multi-fixture light. Typically you will only use this feature to
set up an actual multi-fixture light. However, you could also use it in cases where you have multiple lights that
you want to behave as a multi-fixture light (for example, if you have two separate desk lamps that you want to
operate together).
Network Range
If you are using a smart device or Web browser, then your network range is virtually unlimited since you can
access your lights through the Internet. As long as your Gateway is connected to the Internet through a router,
you could access your lighting network through your smart device or Web browser from a remote location.
For most of the time, you will likely access your lighting through your smart device when you are at home, in
which case your smart device connects through your home network instead of the Internet. In this case, the
range for your smart device is limited by the range of your wireless router.
