ZigBee Light Link will provide a global standard for interoperable and very easy-to-use consumer lighting and control products, allowing consumers to gain wireless control over all their LED fixtures, light bulbs, timers, remotes and switches. This standard will let consumers change lighting remotely to reflect ambiance, task or season, all while managing energy use and making their homes greener.

Products built using this standard will be as easy-to-use as  a common dimmer switch. The standard will not require any special devices to coordinate with lighting network, making it both easy and intuitive for consumers to use every day. Plus, the standard will make adding or even removing products to the lighting network a snap. ZigBee Light Link products earning the ZigBee Certified seal will be the industry's only networked consumer lighting products offering simplicity and interoperability.

Since ZigBee Light Link will be a ZigBee standard, lighting products will interoperate effortlessly with other ZigBee standards already in consumers' homes, including ZigBee Home Automation, ZigBee Input Device, ZigBee Remote Control, ZigBee 3D Sync and ZigBee Health Care.

Leading home lighting solution manufacturers are contributing their expertise to the development of ZigBee Light Link, including GE, Greenwave, OSRAM Sylvania and Philips.
