LIFX is redefining what it means to have smart lighting. Unlike ordinary bulbs, LIFX offers WiFi-enabled, bright, colorful smart lights that work without the need for a hub. From setting wake-up schedules to creating the perfect movie-watching scene, LIFX lights are designed to enhance your everyday life.
Simple Control & Customization
The LIFX app puts full control of your lights at your fingertips. Turn lights on or off, dim them, or change the color and white temperature to suit your mood. Group your lights for easy, one-touch control and personalize each group with your own images or pre-made LIFX illustrations.
Smart Scheduling & Automation
Automate your lighting to fit your lifestyle with easy-to-set schedules. Wake up energized with bright, white light in the morning and wind down with warmer tones in the evening. Use irregular schedules to simulate occupancy when you’re away for added security.
Dynamic Effects & Scenes
Make your lighting come alive with special effects like music visualizers, candle flickers, color cycles, strobe, and fire. Save your favorite settings with Scenes, so you can instantly recreate moods for date nights, workouts, or relaxing baths. The app even lets you “paint” colors onto multi-zone lights like the LIFX Beam or Tile for stunning ombre and animation effects.
Integration & Voice Control
LIFX seamlessly pairs with Apple HomeKit and other smart home platforms. You can set up voice commands for hands-free control—perfect for when you’re settled on the couch or busy with tasks.
Useful Extras
Use partner apps for smart notifications, like flashing lights when your car arrives or a weather alert. You can also control lights remotely from anywhere, keeping your home safe and inviting.
