Ensure the wall switch for the light is
switched off before fitting the bulb. Your
Hive Active Light™ is fitted in the same way
traditional bayonet or Edison screw bulbs
are. Once fitted, switch the light on at the
wall and the bulb will then flash on and off
to show that it is searching for your hub.
Once your Hive Active Light™ appears on the
screen it will flash once more to confirm it’s
connected. You can now name it and
press Save to complete setup.
That’s it!

You’ve finished setting up your Hive Active
Light™ and you can now control it remotely.
Remember: To turn your Hive Active Light™ on or
off remotely it must be switched on at the wall.
Your Hive Active Light should not be dimmed
using a wall mounted dimmer switch as it may
cause buzzing or flickering.
Usage
Your Hive Active Light™ is designed for UK household
wiring, and for indoor use only.
Maintenance
Disconnect your Hive Active Light™ before cleaning and
keep it away from water and other liquids at all times. The
Hive Active Light™ does not contain any serviceable parts
so do not attempt to open it.
