IKEA Smart Lighting Buying Guide

Getting Started with IKEA Smart Lighting

IKEA smart lighting products allow you to easily personalize your home's lighting to suit any occasion or activity. You can adjust brightness, turn lights on and off, choose from different colors, and switch between warm and cool light wirelessly. For advanced control, integrate the TRÅDFRI gateway and the IKEA Home smart app to set timers, create scenes, and much more.

Key Features:

• Wireless Control: Adjust lighting with dimmers and remote controls.
• Color and Brightness Adjustment: Choose from a wide spectrum of white light and colors.
• Smart Home Integration: Connect with the IKEA Home smart app for advanced features.
• Easy Installation: Smart lighting products are designed for simple setup and use.

Understanding White Light Spectrum

IKEA smart lighting offers three distinct white light tones:

• Warm White: 2700 Kelvin (K) - Cozy and inviting.
• Neutral White: 4000 Kelvin (K) - Bright and clear.
• Cool White: 6000 Kelvin (K) - Crisp and energizing.

Choosing Your Lighting Solution

Consider your needs and activities when selecting smart lighting:

1. Adjusting Brightness Only

For simple brightness control, pair a wireless dimmer with an LED bulb. Starter kits often include both for convenience.

2. Adjusting Brightness and White Tone

To control brightness and switch between warm and cool white light, choose a kit with a remote control and a white spectrum LED bulb.

3. Adjusting Brightness, White Tone, and Color

For full customization, including color changes, select a kit with a remote control and a color and white spectrum LED bulb. With the TRÅDFRI gateway and app, you gain access to 20 colors and white tones.

4. Motion-Activated Lighting

For automatic lighting, use a kit that includes a motion sensor and a warm white LED bulb. Lights will turn on when movement is detected.

5. Creating Ambiance with the Gateway and App

The TRÅDFRI gateway and IKEA Home smart app allow you to create personalized lighting scenes for different occasions, like movie nights or romantic dinners. You can control individual lights or groups, set timers, and even schedule lights to turn on or off automatically.

6. Voice Control

Integrate your smart lighting with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, or Google Home for hands-free control.

Expanding Your System

You can expand your IKEA smart lighting system by adding more LED bulbs, panels, and doors, controlled by IKEA smart lighting devices. The system supports up to 10 smart lighting devices per control device.

Useful Information

IKEA smart lighting products operate on the ZigBee protocol and may not be compatible with wired dimmers. The wireless range for IKEA smart lighting products is up to 10 meters, which can be extended using a signal repeater.

Important Considerations:

• When purchasing LED panels or doors, remember to also buy the ANSLUTA power cord if needed.
• You can connect up to 10 products using the ANSLUTA connection cord.
• Flashing indicators on TRÅDFRI LED drivers signal that the maximum wattage has been exceeded. Always check the maximum wattage of your fixture and choose a suitable TRÅDFRI bulb.
