Useful tips
-
Manually adjusting brightness/temperature
Swipe the slide-touch buttons on your light to adjust the brightness or colour temperature. Tap the buttons to quickly change between levels.
-
Auto-adjusting brightness
When auto-adjust is switched on, the light automatically adjusts to changes in background light – keeping your workspace at a constant brightness.
-
Positioning the light
You can precisely position your light with a gentle touch of the arm – vertically, horizontally, and through 360°.
-
Reversing the arm direction
Detach the arm, flip and then re-insert it to quickly change the direction your light is facing.
-
Turning on the movement sensor
Pressing the movement sensor button means your light will turn on when presence is detected, and off when you're away for two minutes.
-
Re-syncing with local daylight
Use the re-sync button to automatically adjust brightness and colour according to your location. Your light needs to be connected to the Dyson Link app via Bluetooth®.

Frequently asked questions
Can I start using the light before connecting to the Dyson Link app?Yes, but the light cannot track your local daylight until you connect to the app.
Do I need to let the heat pipe cool down before reversing the arm direction?No, the copper heat pipe is cool enough to touch at all times.
Will I need to buy replacement LEDs for this light?No, the LEDs are designed to last for decades² and can't be replaced.
