3. Frequently asked questions
o What is the maximum energy consumption of a luminaire I can connect to the plug?
o300 Watt
oI have connected my luminaire to the LivingWhites plug, but it is still not responding
to the remote control
oMake sure that the remote is linked to the plug (see section 2 of this manual).
oCheck the batteries in the remote control. The batteries should be correctly loaded (+ and -). If
all buttons on the remote are ashing, this means the batteries need to be replaced.
oMake sure that you are linking to the right remote control. The remote control you are linking
to should be a Philips LivingColors, Philips LivingWhites or Philips LivingAmbiance remote
control. It should have triangular arrows on it for selecting lights (see drawing).
oThe blue LED on the plug is ashing. What shall I do?
oTake the LivingWhites plug out of the socket and wait a couple of seconds until it stops ashing.
Then plug it back in again.
oIf the ashing starts again, this means you have put in a luminaire that consumes more than
300W. Such a product cannot work with the LivingWhites luminaire control plug.
oDoes the LivingWhites plug work with luminaires that have a touch dimmer?
oYes, but only in the "ON/OFF" mode. This means you will not be able to dim the luminaire with
the remote.
oCan I connect the LivingWhites plug to a mains socket that is connected to a wall
dimmer?
oNo; the plug will not work with a wall dimmer.
oDo I need to put a special bulb in my luminaire so that it works with the
LivingWhites plug?
oNo, the LivingWhites luminaire control plug works with most bulbs (for exceptions, see the
next point).
oPlease do not connect a Philips LivingWhites energy saver to the LivingWhites plug, as this
might affect your energy saver. Connecting the bulb to the plug is not necessary, as one of these
products is enough to let your luminaire work with Philips LivingAmbiance.
oMy question is not listed here
oPlease contact Philips for assistance (see section 4 "Additional support").
