In short:
The Laqi Egg is the brain of your circadian lighting. To function optimally, it must be well-positioned: neither hidden nor too far out of the way. Here's how to position it according to your home and your habits.
đź“Ś Summary
The role of the Laqi egg
The Laqi Egg is the control center for your lighting system. It controls all the Laqi bulbs in your home.
It continuously adjusts their intensity and temperature according to the time, ambient light, and your location. It acts like a circadian conductor.
Why its placement is crucial
For synchronization to work throughout the house, the egg must be installed in a central, unobstructed location.
If it's too far away or hidden, some bulbs may lose their signal. The egg communicates via Zigbee, so avoid thick walls and dead corners.
Our advice for placing it correctly
In a studio, place it in the center of the room or near the bed: it can also be used as a bedside lamp or dawn simulator.
In an apartment or house, identify a central room (such as the living room or main hallway) based on the distribution of light bulbs.
Make sure it is not stuck to the wall or enclosed. It can also be used as a soft mood light.
What to do if in doubt?
Your Laqi egg can control up to 64 light bulbs. If you have a large home or multiple floors, install it on a strategic floor.
- Choose a room equidistant from the main light bulbs
- Do some sync tests with the Laqi app
And most importantly: leave the egg visible so it can capture natural light. It also acts as a sensor to calibrate your lighting.
