With the TRÅDFRI gateway and app you can create different moods and control each light individually: turn them off and on, dim light intensity, choose the color and change from warm to cool.

Adding or removing light sources

Connect a new LED light to the remote control

It’s very easy to add new light sources such as bulbs, doors and panels to your remote control.

Install the light source and turn on the main power switch.

Keep the remote control within less than 5cm of the light source and press the pairing button for 10 seconds (located under the remote control lid).

A red light will shine on the remote control and, when it’s paired successfully, the light source will dim and blink once.

Connect lamps with several LED lights to the remote control

If you have a light source with more than one light bulb, you’ll need to pair them one by one. Install your first light bulb, pair it and then remove it. Then install the second light bulb, pair and remove it, etc. Do this with all the light bulbs. Watch this video to see how to pair your TRÅDFRI devices to light sources with multiple bulbs.
