Full color for RGB fixtures. Presets you save once and reach in a tap. SPACES Group the lights in a room into a space and set the whole room at once.

Your orders, your addresses and your store credit sit in the app next to your lights. SHOP Browse the MOD LIGHTING collection and check out without leaving the app. COMPATIBILITY Works with MOD LIGHTING smart fixtures. A 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network is required.
