Minimum requirements

Only install LIFX Bulbs in light fittings made for the connector type on the bulb. The lamp should also have a minimum of 60W rating. Lamps made for lower wattage lights are not recommended. Make sure your lamp is rated for at least a 60W incandescent bulb.

We recommend LIFX bulbs be in lamps at least 30cm from where you might sit, or stand.
