Fixtures
When setting up or managing your Connected Lighting, you will see that you can set up a "virtual" light fixture. This means that you can set up any grouping of light bulbs to operate (turn on, turn off, dim, and brighten) together as one multi-socket light fixture. Typically you will only use this feature to set up an actual multi-socket light fixture. However, you could also use it in cases where you have multiple lights that you want to behave as a multi-fixture light. For example, you might have two separate desk lamps that you want to control together as if they were one fixture. You could create a fixture that includes both of them so that you can control them together as if they were part of one light fixture. Then you could perform tasks on that fixture, such as turn it on or off, dim or brighten the lights, or create a Smart Control that controls it.
Remote groups
When organizing your network light bulbs, you can set them up into remote groups. Then you can use your remote control to turn on and off light bulbs in selected groups. A remote group is a set of network light bulbs that you can control together through your remote control. For example, you might have a remote group that includes light bulbs on the same floor. Or you might have a group that includes hallway and entryway lights, making it easy to turn on or off with your remote control as you arrive or leave home. All light bulbs in the same group turn on and off together and brighten or dim to the same level. Your remote control has controls for four groups.
