Your lights, wherever you are. MOD LIGHTING controls every smart fixture in your home from one place. Set the brightness, warm or cool the white, pick a color, and save the result so the room comes back the same way tomorrow. CONTROL Brightness and color temperature on one dial. 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. Turn everything off on your way out, from the Home screen. SYNC Fixtures that should always match are linked into a single control. Change one and the rest follow. TIMERS AND SCHEDULES Give a light a countdown, or a schedule that repeats on the days you choose. PAIRING Adding a light takes Bluetooth and your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

Your orders, your addresses and your store credit sit in the app next to your lights.
