I’m having trouble adding and removing my TRÅDFRI Light Sources.
A simple guide to add or remove your TRÅDFRI Light Sources.
Add bulbs, doors and panels
It’s easy to add light sources such as bulbs, doors and panels to your remote control.
- Install the light source and turn on the main power switch.
- Keep the remote within 5cm of the light source and press the pairing button for 10 seconds (located under the remote control lid).
- A red light will shine on the remote control and, when it’s successfully paired, the light source will dim and flash once.

Remove bulbs, doors or panels
To remove a smart light source, perform a factory reset of it by toggling the main switch 6 times.

Add several bulbs in one light fixture
If you have a light source with multiple bulbs which sit close together, you’ll need to pair them one by one. Install your first light bulb, pair it and then remove it. Then install the second light bulb, pair it and remove it, etc. Do this with all the light bulbs.

Add a light bulb to the TRÅDFRI dimming kit
To extend your TRÅDFRI dimming kit with another bulb, install the bulb and turn on the main power switch. Keep the wireless dimmer within 5cm of the bulb. Press the pairing button for 10 seconds (located under the top cover). When it’s successfully paired, the light source will dim and flash once.

Add a light bulb to the TRÅDFRI motion sensor
To extend your TRÅDFRI motion sensor kit with another bulb, install the bulb and turn on the main power switch. Keep the motion sensor within 2cm of the bulb and press the pairing button for 10 seconds (located on the back). When it’s successfully paired, the light source will dim and flash once and a red light will shine on the front of the motion sensor.

I followed the instructions and have paired the steering device (remote control, wireless dimmer or motion sensor) to the TRÅDFRI gateway but I don’t see the bulb in the app.
You need to re-pair the bulb with the steering device after connecting the Gateway since the connection may have been lost when you connected the steering device to the gateway.
