My ramblings on the stuff that holds it all together
I now have a pair of IKEA Floalt LED panel lights in my home office, during winter these add a great amount of natural-ish light (with controllable colour temperature/brightness) to my desk-space when there isn’t much coming in from outside.
The website lists the 30x90cm panels as £115 but I managed to get a pair for £80 each in the Greenwich store – you may have similar luck.
Each panel comes with its own wireless remote (TRADFRI), from the instructions it’s straight forward enough to pair each remote (1:1) with a panel.
If you want a single remote to pair with multiple panels you just rinse and repeat the pairing process with each panel (I found I had to switch them off at the power to make it sync up after pairing)
But, it’s not obvious how you have have the 2 remotes working at the same time to control multiple panels. So, for example you have a control by the door and one on your desk (so you don’t need to get up to change the lights, lazy? yes.. but).
So, to do this you need to follow these steps..
I hope that helps someone, it took me a while to figure out, most of the online articles relate to the smartphone gateway and app which I don’t have.
On the whole, I can’t recommend these panels enough, they’re great.
