About this app

Lost or broken light remote? Turn your phone into one in seconds.

Light Remote is a universal remote control for infrared ceiling lights, LED panels, RGB lamps and LED strip controllers. It uses your phone's built-in infrared (IR) blaster to send the very same signals as the original remote, so it works offline — no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no pairing, no account, no hub.

Choose your brand, tap the remote that responds, and you are done.

★ 40 BRANDS, 160 REMOTES
A built-in IR code database covering ceiling lights and LED lighting, including Panasonic, Philips, Toshiba, NEC, Sharp, Hitachi, Midea, TCL, Opple, FSL, Koizumi, Daiko, Odelic, Iris Ohyama, Yamazen, Doshisha, Takizumi, LAMPTAN, Agled and more.

★ NO SETUP HEADACHES
Pick your brand and the app lists every remote it knows for it — Remote 1, Remote 2, Remote 3. Tap the red test button on each one until your light reacts, then open it. One remote? It opens straight away.

★ BRIGHTNESS DIAL
A large sun dial fills the screen: − and + step the brightness, Full and Half jump straight there, and the dial brightens as you press so you can see the signal went out.

★ WARM TO COLD IN ONE SLIDE
A colour-temperature control with a warm-to-cold bar, plus tiles for Warm, Cold, Normal, All on and Lighting — exactly the keys printed on the original remote.

★ COLOURS AND EFFECTS FOR RGB LAMPS
Real colour swatches — red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, lavender, fuchsia, pink and white — with effect tiles for Fade, Smooth, Flash, Strobe, Mode, Eco, Sleep, Memory, Favourite and scenes.

★ TIMER PRESETS
Turn the light off after 1, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, or 3, 5 and 8 hours, on models that support it. Night light and all-off keys sit in the Quick panel.

★ SAVE YOUR REMOTES
Keep the bedroom light, the living room panel and the LED strip side by side. Rename them and switch code sets any time.

IMPORTANT — DOES YOUR PHONE HAVE AN IR BLASTER?
This app needs a phone with built-in infrared hardware. Many Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, Realme, Honor, Huawei, Samsung Galaxy (older models), TCL and Vivo phones have one; most recent iPhones and Pixels do not. The app tells you on the home screen if your phone has no IR blaster.

It also cannot control smart bulbs that work over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Zigbee (Philips Hue, Wiz, Yeelight and similar). Your light must come with an infrared remote.

HOW TO USE
1. Open the app and pick your light brand.
2. Point the top edge of your phone at the light's receiver.
3. Tap the test button on each remote in the list until the light reacts.
4. Open that remote and save it. That's it.

TIPS
- Ceiling lights have the sensor in the centre cover; aim up from below.
- If some keys work and others don't, switch to another remote for the same brand with the CHANGE button.

PRIVACY
No account, no sign-up, no personal data collection. Your saved remotes stay on your phone. The app shows ads to stay free, and asks for your consent choices where the law requires it — you can change them any time from the Privacy button on the home screen.

DISCLAIMER
Light Remote is an independent universal remote application. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise connected to any lighting or appliance manufacturer. All company names, brand names, product names and trademarks mentioned in this listing or shown inside the app belong to their respective owners and are used only to describe which devices the infrared codes can control.

The app works only through the infrared (IR) blaster built into your phone. It cannot control a device over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or the internet, and it will not work on a phone without IR hardware. Manufacturers use different code sets across models, regions and production years, so a light may answer only some keys, or none. Try the other remotes for your brand with CHANGE before leaving a review — that solves most cases.

Free, lightweight, and built to replace the remote you can never find.
