Do I need to have a TRÅDFRI gateway to use TRÅDFRI light sources?

You can control any TRÅDFRI light source

No, you can control any TRÅDFRI light source with a TRÅDFRI steering device (remote control, wireless dimmer or motion sensor). You need a TRÅDFRI gateway to control TRÅDFRI light sources with the IKEA Home smart app.
