Product Guide
LIFX has a wide variety of products available, and we actively work to support as many of them as possible.
Light Types
In terms of topography, products can be divided into three types:
- Single-light devices:
This includes the simple smart bulbs. They can display only one color at a time. An example of this is the “Smart Light” (https://www.lifx.com/products/lifx-color-800-e26-1pk)
These are the easiest to control. They are covered as the default case in the Language Reference
- Multizone devices:
These devices are linear in shape, although some of them can be bent or configured with angles. They have the ability to display multiple colors, with one color per “zone”. The zones are in a line, and you specify colors along that line. Examples are the “Light Beams” (https://www.lifx.com/collections/light-beams), “Lightstrips” (https://www.lifx.com/collections/lightstrips), and “Neon Flex” (https://www.lifx.com/collections/neon-flex).
The Bardolph language support for these is described in the language reference section Multizone Lights.
- Matrix devices:
A matrix device has a 2-dimensional grid with independently-addressable regions, typically by specifying a row and a column. For some lights, the matrix is effectively rolled around the axis of a circular bulb, and for others, the matrix overlays the surface of the device.
Examples of round matrix devices are the “Tube Light” (https://www.lifx.com/products/tube-smart-light), the “Candle” (https://www.lifx.com/products/candle-smart-light-e26), the “Luna LED Lamp” (https://www.lifx.com/products/luna) and ceiling lights (https://www.lifx.com/collections/ceiling).
The Bardolph language support for these is described in the language reference section Matrix Lights.
