- Changing the color saturation (adding more white to the current color). Press on (logo
saturation up) for a deep color or on (logo saturation down) for a more pastel color

2. Linking LivingColors lamps
1. You can operate multiple LivingColors with one remote control
. The LivingColors lamps will
then project the same color (or will change colors simultaneously). In order to link several
LivingColors to one remote control, bring the remote close to the Philips logo on the top of the
lamp and press on “I” (“On”). LivingColors will flash 3 times, and then shortly flash in green color.
You can release the button now. The linked lamps will turn to the last setting of the remote
control.
- Repeat this operation for each LivingColors lamp that you want to link with the others.
- To use the LivingColors separately again, link it to another remote control in the same way as
described above.
2. It is also possible to control one LivingColors lamp with several remote controls
. In order to do
so, first reset one of the remotes by pressing and holding the “0” and the (icon brightness down)
buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. Then hold two remote controls cl ose to each other and
press the “I” button on both for 7 seconds. You can now link the new rem ote control to the
LivingColors in the same way as described above.
- LivingColors that are linked to two (or more) remote controls can be controlled by either remote
control.
- To unlink a remote control from a LivingColors, hold the remote control close to the LivingColors
and press “0” for three seconds. The LivingColors will flash 3 times. Hold the “0” button a little
longer and it will slowly fade to off. The remote control and the LivingColors are now unlinked.
3. Compatibility with timers
You can use LivingColors with a timer (not included). When switched on with a timer, the
LivingColors will show your last setting (static color or automatic color-changing mode)
