Installing Your Ring Smart Lighting Pathlight (2-Pack)

What You Will Need

• Ring Smart Lighting Pathlight (2-Pack)
• Ring Smart Lighting Bridge (required for app control and smart features)
• Ring app (iOS or Android) with an active account
• 4 D-cell batteries (2 per pathlight, not included)
• A walkway, garden path, or driveway to illuminate

Step 1: Set Up the Ring Smart Lighting Bridge

Before installing the pathlights, you must have a Ring Smart Lighting Bridge connected and online. The Bridge enables communication between your Ring Smart Lighting devices and the Ring app using a proprietary wireless protocol. If you have not already set up the Bridge, refer to the Bridge setup guide first.

Step 2: Insert Batteries

1. Twist the top light housing counterclockwise to separate it from the stake.
2. Open the battery compartment on the light housing.
3. Insert two D-cell batteries per pathlight, following the polarity markings inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment. The LED will flash briefly to confirm power.

Step 3: Add Pathlights to the Ring App

1. Open the Ring app and tap Set Up a Device.
2. Select Smart Lighting, then choose Pathlight.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions. The app will search for the pathlight through your Smart Lighting Bridge.
4. When the light is discovered, name it and assign it to a group (e.g., "Front Walkway" or "Garden Path").
5. Repeat for the second pathlight.

Step 4: Install the Pathlights

1. Choose locations along your path spaced approximately six to eight feet apart for even illumination.
2. Push the stake firmly into the ground until the base of the light housing is at the desired height. The stake has depth markings to help you achieve consistent heights.
3. Twist the light housing clockwise onto the stake to secure it.
4. Ensure the motion sensor on each pathlight faces the area you want to detect movement.

Step 5: Configure Smart Features

With the Ring Smart Lighting Bridge connected, you can control the pathlights through the Ring app:

• Motion Settings — Adjust sensitivity and range for the built-in motion sensor. Each pathlight can detect motion up to approximately 15 feet away.
• Linked Devices — Link the pathlights to Ring cameras so they turn on when a camera detects motion, and vice versa.
• Groups — Create a lighting group so all pathlights along a walkway turn on together when one detects motion.
• Schedules — Set the pathlights to turn on at dusk and off at dawn, or create custom schedules.
• Brightness — Adjust brightness levels in the app to balance illumination and battery life.

Tips for Best Performance

• D-cell batteries typically last about one year under normal use. Reducing brightness extends battery life.
• The pathlights are weather-resistant and designed for year-round outdoor use.
• For best motion detection, avoid placing pathlights near heat sources like dryer vents or HVAC units, which can cause false triggers.
• Grouping pathlights with Ring cameras creates an effective perimeter lighting system that activates as visitors or intruders approach your home.
