In today’s increasingly popular smart home technology, many people want to connect LED lights to their cell phones in order to achieve remote control, timer control and other functions.
Next, I will give you a detailed introduction on how to connect led light fixtures to your cell phone.
Can you connect any LED light to your cell phone?
Not all LED lights can be connected to your phone. To do this, you need to buy a smart LED light that supports Wi-Fi or Bluetooth function. There are many kinds of smart LED lights on the market for you to choose from, such as smart bulbs, light strips, led track lighting etc.

Connect via EZ mode
- Download the app: First, you need to download the app recommended by the LED light manufacturer on your phone. These apps can usually be found in app stores (e.g. Apple Store or Google Play Store).
