Download App

Download the Illuminate app from the iTunes App Store or Google Play by searching for

“Philips Illuminate”, or scan the QR code here.

Getting Started

1. Read all enclosed Safety Instructions and cord tags before starting.

2. At a minimum you will need a Starter Kit to start using Illuminate™ customizable lighting

system.

3. If you want to add additional lights besides those that are included with the starter kit you

will need to purchase the Add On set (sold separately). The Add On set includes an

additional 25 lights and an extender cord to allow you to either place the lights further from

the box, or to add an unlighted space between the sets of lights. The extender cord is not

required for Illuminate™ to operate.

4. You can mix and match Illuminate™ strings with different bulb shapes on them all

connected to the same control box as long as you do not exceed 300 bulbs (12 sets of 25

lights max) connected to the same control box. For example, you can have 3 sets of C9

bulbs and 1 set of icicles (100 bulbs) connected to one control box in any order of bulb

shape.

5. Follow the directions below on how to install the App, connect lights and control your

Illuminate™ set.

Assemble Illuminate

1. Carefully remove all pieces from the box.

2. Plug the round connector on the Control Box (Part A) into the round connector on the

add-on lights (Part B). Line up the pins and the rectangular pins inside the connectors

before making the connection. Tighten the ring clockwise until hand tight (do not over

tighten).

3. To add several sets, or the extender cord, remove cap from the end of the set you want

to connect to by unscrewing the cap counter clockwise and follow the instructions

above.

◊NOTE: Use only Illuminate™ light strings and extender cords with this control box or

you may damage the control box or light strings.

4. You can connect and mix and match different Illuminate™ light strings with different

bulb shapes on them all connected to the same control box as long as you do not

exceed 300 bulbs (12 sets of 25 lights max). For example, you can have 2 sets of C9

bulbs and 3 set of icicles (125 bulbs) connected to one control box in any order of bulb

shape along with several extender cords between sections of bulbs. NOTE: A

maximum of 4 extender cords is recommended when connecting over 200 lights to a

single control box.

Connect your Smart Device to Illuminate

Illuminate can be controlled using the Illuminate App on your iOS or Android smartphone. To

download the free app, use the QR code located on the cover page, or search for “Philips

Illuminate” on the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store.

1. Plug Illuminate into a 110V – 125V wall outlet.

2. Turn the WiFi on your device to “on”. The Illuminate box will appear in the available WiFi

access point list as “PhilipsACCxxxxxxxx,” where “xxxxxxxx” is a random combination of

numbers and letters.

◊NOTE: If multiple Illuminate Starter kits are plugged into an outlet, multiple starter

kits will appear in your WiFi list. To control a single box, it is best to rename your

control boxes one at a time by only having one box plugged in at a time during the

renaming process. Names can be as simple as front door, roof line, bushes, etc. To

control multiple boxes, please see

Using Illuminate

This section details each main screen of Illuminate with a quick explanation of how it works.

◊NOTE: Illuminate will remember your last command when you:

oTurn them off by unplugging them or turn off power to the outlet controlling

them

oOr you turn off the app on your device.

Examples:

1. If you set Illuminate to Warm White or one of the pre-set functions and unplug

Illuminate it will turn back on next time you plug it in to that same color or

function.

2. If you turn off the lights in the app using the icon in the upper right part of the

screen, and then unplug Illuminate, next time you plug them in, the lights will not

turn on until you turn them on in the app.

3. If the lights are set to dim mode when you turn off the power, they will restart in

dim mode.

4. Illuminate will continue in the last mode selected if you turn off the app or device,

except when in music mode, which requires the app and device to remain on.
