1.0 WARNINGS
• Consult a licensed electrician if you are unsure of the AC
connection or do not have a power point within connection
range.
• Do not disassemble the Adaptor, Smart Controller or Lights.
• There are no user serviceable parts within this kit.
• Do not stare directly at the LED lights.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the NX-GL4 Smart RGBW LED Garden
Lights. These lights can be controlled directly by the Smart
Controller, via our free smartphone app and by your voice, using
Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
2.1 PRE-INSTALLATION
1. This system works with 2.4GHz WiFi networks only.
Depending on your router model, you may need to disable
5HGz networks while connecting the Garden Lights to your
WiFi network. Please see 'Quick Explainer' on page 7.
2. Insert the NX-GL4 Garden Lights power cable in to the AC
adaptor and firmly tighten the locking nut.
3. Please install your NX-GL4 Garden Lights within the range of
your WiFi router. To test this, pair the lights with the NX Smart
App at a location close to the router. Once paired, you can test
dierent installation locations within your WiFi range.
PLEASE NOTE:
• It may take 1-2 minutes for the lights to re-connect with the
WiFi network once you have relocated them.

3
4. Before installing the lights in your garden, lay the cable along
the ground to ensure they will reach your desired installation
location. This kit includes extra-long cable lengths to ensure
maximum installation flexibility.

3.3 HOME MANAGEMENT
To enable extra NX-GL4 Garden Lights control options, like
adding other users and organising your garden lights into
dierent areas, follow the steps below (you can also set up
Home Management later).

6
CONFIGURATION STEPS:
1. Select ‘Me’ on the menu at the bottom of the screen.
2. Select ‘Home Management.’
Then select ‘My Home’ to configure your default home
setting.
3. Add a home name, then set ‘Location’ (optional). After this

3.4 ADD YOUR GARDEN LIGHTS TO THE APP
1. Ensure your smartphone is connected to your 2.4GHz WiFi
network (this is a specific home network, if you are unsure of
the dierence, please read the quick explainer below).
2. Power up your NX-GL4 Garden Lights. Within 3 seconds, they
should start flashing red. If they don't, press and hold the
button on the smart controller (figure below) for 5 seconds
until they start flashing.
QUICK EXPLAINER:
• Modern home routers typically provide two WiFi networks
(5GHz and 2.4GHz). These separate networks won’t always
be named clearly, especially if you have re-named your
home WiFi network.
• For your NX-GL4 Garden Lights to work, you will need to pair
them to the 2.4GHz WiFi network, which has a greater range
and a stronger and more reliable signal. If you are unsure
which of your WiFi networks is 2.4GHz, please clarify with
your network provider.
3. The NX-GL4 Garden Lights have the latest pairing technology
to ensure quick and easy setup. To pair the lights to your app,
please ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.

6. Your WiFi network name will be displayed. If your 2.4HGz WiFi
network name is not displayed, please leave the app, connect
your Smartphone to the 2.4GHz network then return to the
app and enter the WiFi password and select confirm. You can
also enter the network name manually if it is not displayed.
Please refer to our 'Quick Explainer' on page 7 if this
is not clear. If you still cannot find your 2.4GHz WiFi, please
contact your internet provider.
NOTE:
• Bluetooth is only used to enable easy connection to the
lights. After they are connected to WiFi, Bluetooth is not
required.
7. The pairing process will start. A confirmation screen will be
shown when complete. At this stage you can rename your NX-
GL4 Garden Lights if you choose to. This name will be used to
trigger your lights if you are using Amazon Alexa and Google
Assistant. You can change the name by selecting the pen icon
(circled in the image below).
You can allocate the lights to a specified living area if you
have set up Home Management and easily control multiple
devices and/or create smart automations.
