The WAC Ilumenight Color Changing 2.0 iOS app enables control of Bluetooth-equipped WAC modules incorporated into a
lighting xture. The app is designed for use by professional lighting speciers and designers.
System Requirements: iOS 9.0 minimum.
Ilumenight Color Changing 2.0 supports iOS version-10 and is compiled to support bitcode and 64-bit requirements.
Click on the icon below (or type “Ilumenight color” in the Search window in the App Store screen) to view and download the app
on your iOS device.
Currently, email and GPS position is collected (subject to change). The app uses an “authentication” feature, which adds new
possibilities. Authentication also requires every user to use a password with a minimum of 6 valid characters. Once the valid
password is approved and the modules are detected, the user will have full control.
The app does not require the user to re-enter a password every time, and remembers if the user has previously logged in. The
session remains logged in (or remains in the “Skip” mode if chosen by the user) until the user specically logs out of or logs back
into the app.
The user can reset their own password via the app, and will receive a reset link via email. However, any locked modules will still
need to have their individual passwords separately reset.
WAC has the ability to temporarily revoke access or change the user password for any user account. From within the Firebase
website, user accounts and passwords can be deleted, changed or disabled. The ‘Master Password’ can also be updated at any
moment without changing the app itself.
Upon discovery, the modules (including the WAC Logic Module or the Digital Control Adapter) can be named, and if desired,
assigned to a group. The app enables the user to set the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), Dimming, Saturation and Hue for
each module/group. SceneSet® enables up to ve scenes –– a scene is any combination of CCT, Dimming, Saturation and Hue
–– to be programmed into the module for recall by the app or a 0-10V connection. For modules connected to a DMX system, the
DMX channels can also be set using this app. For modules connected to a 0-10V line, SceneSet® Mode can also be specied in the
app. Consult the xture’s spec sheet or instructions for WAC module control capability.
Split-View Screen Mode
On iPhone 6+, 7+ and iPads, but NOT on iPhone SE, Ilumenight Color Changing 2.0 supports a split-view screen. This allows you to
see the list of connected modules and groups on the left and their commissioning details on the right.
Multiple Modules Mode
A maximum of 8 connected modules can be controlled at a time by the app.1 When more than 8 modules are discovered, the app
enters into a special mode. This mode allows the user to keep the selected module connected at all times (unless the selected item
is a group containing more than 8 modules), while other modules are disconnected periodically to limit the connected quantity
to a maximum of 8 at any given time. This feature makes it possible to commission luminaires in a busy environment, where more
than 8 modules are within the discovery distance range.
NOTE:
1
Preexisting and active Bluetooth connections may reduce this maximum value.
2
Only modules of the same CCT range can be grouped together.

Download the latest version of the WAC Ilumenight Color Changing
2.0 app from the App Store and launch it.
Login is necessary ONLY if you need to operate modules that are
password-protected. If you want to keep the modules open and
accessible by everyone, you need to click on the “Skip” option in the
login screen, or logout if you are already logged in.
2.1 Create Account (optional)
Click on the drop-down Options Menu on the top left of the screen,
and click on ‘Login’ to access the ‘Create Account’ screen. Enter a
valid email address and 6-character password to create an account
and log in, after which you can secure and control any Bluetoothequipped modules “discovered” by the app that are unlocked (no
bulb icon).
NOTE: The password you create will be assigned to any unlocked
modules and automatically lock them with a green lock icon.
2.2 Login with an Account (optional)
If you have already created an account, you can log in by entering
your email address and your password and then pressing “OK”. You
will then be able to control any modules that you have previously
secured with this password (these modules will have a green lock
icon).
Modules with a magenta icon indicate that a dierent password
was used to lock them, and you will not be able to control these
modules.
The app remembers if you have previously logged in, so there is no
need to re-enter the password each time. To logout, you have to go
to the Options Menu->Logout <user name>.
2.3 ‘Skip’ (Login without an Account)
Using this option, you can discover –– but NOT control –– the values
of locked modules with a red icon. This option also prevents the
app from locking any open modules.
NOTE: When you log in without an account, you cannot lock
open modules to prevent access by others, and some buttons
on the Options menu are not available (“grayed out”) to prevent
unauthorized use.
After completing one of these three startup options, click ‘Scan’ on
the top right of the screen to discover modules.
WAC Ilumenight Color Changing 2.0 Instruction Manual
Page
WAC Ilumenight Color Changing 2.0 – Instruction Manual
The main screen lists all discovered modules or groups of modules.
In the main screen, the modules can be turned on and o by
pressing and holding on the bulb icon belonging to that module.
The signal strength of the Bluetooth connection is shown on the
right of each module.
Clicking the ‘>’ shown in the row will open a more detailed view.
Sliding a row to the left will reveal a red ‘Remove’ button. This will
remove the selected module from the display (until the next scan).
NOTE: The left slider icon or red ‘Remove’ button is not available for
the parent of any group.
The inside of each module ‘bulb’ icon represent the color of the light
as well as the dimming level. The dots around the bulb icon tell you
if the module is turned on or o. If the dots are present, the module
is ON; if the dots are not shown, the module is OFF.
To the left of each module’s colored bulb icon, there is one of three
smaller ‘lock’ icons: green, red, or magenta.
• If is green, the user is logged in and the module’s
password matched the user’s password. This module can
now be controlled and commissioned by the user.
• If is magenta, the user is logged in, but the module is
locked under a dierent password. This module cannot be
controlled unless the password that was previously used
to secure the module is entered. The user won’t be able to
change the module name or group, nor be able to bring the
group name dialog up.
• If is red, the user is NOT logged in, but the module is
password-protected and so it cannot be controlled. The user
won’t be able to change the module name or group, nor be
able to bring the group name dialog up.
• If there is no lock icon, the user is NOT logged in and the
module is ‘open’ (not password-protected).
If there is a larger bulb icon with a slider located above any of the module bulb icons, this means that those modules have been
assigned to a group.
NOTE: Any changes made to the group dimming slider or the on/o dots around the group bulb icon will apply to all of the lamps
in that group. At the same time, individual modules can be dimmed or controlled even if they are part of a group (including the
ability to reset the password or Factory Default a single module or an entire group of modules at a time).
Simply tap on a desired module or group to launch its Commissioning Screen.
