About Z-wave Light Bulbs
Ιn this didactic unit we will focus on the Z-wave Smart LED Light Bulb and
RGBW Light Bulb. These are two led lights, which are compatible with the z-wave
protocol.
These bulbs can be included and operated in any Z-wave network with other Z-wave
certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications.
1. Z-wave Smart LED Light Bulb
Introduction
Smart Light Bulb is a member of the Z-Wave®
family and communicate with other Z-Wave® certified
devices in a control network. The Smart Bulb can be
controlled by the Z-wave remote controller or apps.
Each Z-Wave device serves as a node to repeat the
signal in the network, thus, extending the overall Z-
Wave mesh wireless network range.
Different types and brands of Z-Wave devices
can be associated with Smart Bulb in your system and
they will work together to optimize and expand the
coverage of your Z-Wave network. Once setup is
completed, you can enjoy the convenience and leisure
which Smart Bulb offers.

2. ZIPATO RGBW LIGHT BULB page 4
Introduction
Zipato Bulb with dimmer makes home lighting more fun
and comfortable. With Zipato Bulb, we can control color
and intensity of home lights from the convenience of ourr
smartphone, or other Z-Wave enabled controller. It has
separate warm white, cold white and color LEDs. This
allows us to create both colorful light environments and
regular white lighting, which is easily customizable from
an iOS or Android smartphone.
Bulb fits into regular E27 socket and is able to produce
light intensity comparable to 60W incandescent bulb.
Advanced possibilities of Zipato RGBW bulb are almost
unlimited.
