## What is New ilumi?

UNLOCK THE POWER OF LIGHT WITH ILUMI®

Find, set, & schedule the perfect lighting for you with the world’s most intelligent lights. Use the ilumi app to transform your space into a place with amazing atmospheres for special occasions, improve your daily routine with lighting schedules, and reap the rewards of energy efficient lighting. See everything ilumi can do at www.ilumi.co or and live your light®.

WHITE LIGHT WHEN YOU NEED IT, COLOR WHEN YOU WANT IT: Tune your lighting to create the perfect atmosphere. Adjust from functional bright white light to rich and relaxing saturated colors. Enjoy true vibrant colors and natural whites with up to 97 CRI because of patented HyperLux technology.

SIMPLE SETUP IN SECONDS: Pairs in seconds. Control one or create custom named groups. Powerful MeshTek wireless connectivity gives you the power to control up to 50 ilumi without anything else.

PURPOSEFUL PRESETS & DYNAMIC EFFECTS: Dine in candlelight, Bathe under the northern lights, or drift to bed with specialized sleep settings. Built-in presets and effects help you get the most out of your lighting.

WORKS WITH YOUR LIGHT SWITCH: ilumi is the ONLY smart light that allows you to choose a default color and brightness of light you want when you turn it on with a light switch. So find and save that perfect shade that makes your decor pop.

RISE & SHINE: Wake Up in Barcelona, Maui, or Venice with your own personal scheduled sunrise. It’s the perfect way to start any day.

SYNC WITH MUSIC: Pump up the jam with lighting that dances to the beat of the music. Choose from your favorite iTunes Playlists or connect to your Spotify Account.

LIGHTING AUTOMATION MADE SIMPLE: Schedule your lighting to turn on and off for convenience, security, and energy savings.

SCHEDULES TO ENHANCE YOUR DAILY ROUTINE: Schedule exactly the right light for the right time. Let your light energize you in the morning and help relax you at night, and more.

PAYS FOR ITSELF: Combining best in class LED technology with built in automation, ilumi is extremely energy efficient and can last up to 20 years. That's good for you and for your pocket book.

The ilumi App requires an ilumi Smartbulb available at www.ilumi.co/order.
Check out www.ilumi.co/support for FAQ and troubleshooting tips or reach out to us at Support@ilumi.co
 
Note that the Music Sync experience is a feature that when active will continue to play music and stay active while the app is in the background, and that continued use of the Music Player running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Note: "Continued use of GPS running in the background and using IFTTT running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."

### 1/5 — Crashes within seconds of opening

*2026-04-18, version 4.3.4*

Unusable. Crashes within seconds of opening

### 5/5 — The light is okay

*2026-04-14, version 4.3.4*

I like the Illuminati bulbs when I get the app to work.  The old app was much better.

### 1/5 — Crash all the time.

*2025-11-30, version 4.3.4*

Crash in couple seconds. This app is a disgrace!

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2025-11-17, version 4.3.4*

What happened to this company? I’m so disappointed I ever bought these expensive light bulbs

### 5/5 — Best lights

*2025-10-01, version 4.3.4*

I’ve owned five of these lights for a good number of years now and we use them every night! We have one in our bedroom and three in our living room and one in our spare bedroom. We love that they can be lit in a great numbers of different colours and also that they can be dimmed down very low in red or such other colours that help to promote getting drowsy and ready for bed. 
All in all FANTASTIC LIGHTS thank you Ilumi!!!

### 2/5 — Lights work great after 8 years, but app is horrible and will never get updated again

*2025-09-26, version 4.3.4*

App is seriously out of date and only functions correctly sometimes 

Setting default colors should include the set power percentage

### 5/5 — Instant environment creator

*2025-08-15, version 4.3.4*

While this isn’t a perfect app, and sometimes the lights don’t trigger perfectly, I still love these lights. I have about 15 lights in my recording studio, and I change them according to playing, mixing, or if I need a ton of brightness for working on gear or anything complicated. Instant vibe and workflow changes at your fingertips.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-06-25, version 4.3.4*

Super !!!

### 1/5 — Always logs out of Facebook and doesn’t let you log back in

*2025-03-18, version 4.3.4*

Trash service

### 5/5 — Still working like new after almost ten years.

*2025-01-09, version 4.3.4*

Still working better than the cheap Chinese knock offs.
