HOW IT WORKS
How Light Stream™ Communicates
The Light Stream™ app transmits commands to the Controller via a wireless
connection to your phone or device. The Controller saves these commands, then
relays them wirelessly to any paired bulbs and Switches. Bulbs also relay
information to other bulbs. The Controller and Switch [s) also control power
to their attached bulbs, which is essential for correct operation. Bulbs must
be directly connected to a controller or paired switch for correct
operation.
LAYOUT

You can have up to 200 bulbs on one controller or Switch. If more bulbs are
needed, add additional Switches.
BULBS
Keep them in order!
Light Stream™ bulbs are preassigned channels that allow for custom color
themes to be created. Always install them onto your socketed E12 wire in
sequential order.
