How to Install LIFX SuperColor Ceiling Light with White Trim

Quick answer

Install the LIFX SuperColor Ceiling Light with white trim by turning off power, wiring it to your ceiling box, mounting the base, and using the LIFX app to connect over Wi-Fi—no hub needed.

Installation steps

1. Turn off power: Switch off the circuit breaker that controls the ceiling light. Use a voltage tester to confirm the wires are not live before touching them. Checkpoint: Verify power is off with a tester—never rely on the wall switch alone.
2. Remove the old fixture: Unscrew and detach your existing light fixture. Carefully disconnect the wires and lower the fixture. Keep the mounting bracket if it's compatible, otherwise remove it.
3. Connect the wires: Match the fixture wires to the ceiling wires: black to black (live), white to white (neutral), and green or bare copper to ground. Use wire nuts and ensure no bare copper is exposed. Checkpoint: Double-check the wire connections are tight and correct before proceeding.
4. Mount the base: Tuck the wires into the ceiling box, then align the mounting plate and secure it with the provided screws. Make sure the base is flush against the ceiling—use a level if needed. Checkpoint: Ensure the base is level and firmly attached to avoid a crooked fixture.
5. Attach the light and trim: Lift the light fixture and align it with the mounting plate. Twist or slide it into place until it locks. Then snap the white trim ring onto the fixture to cover the mounting hardware.
6. Restore power and test: Turn the circuit breaker back on. Flip the wall switch to see if the light turns on. If it does, you're ready for setup. Checkpoint: If the light doesn't turn on, turn off power and re-check the wiring.
7. Connect to the LIFX app: Download the LIFX app on your smartphone. Create an account or log in, then tap 'Add Device'. The app will guide you through connecting the light to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Checkpoint: Ensure your phone is on the same 2.4 GHz network during setup.
