| effect_list | list | None | Return the list of supported effects.
| hs_color | tuple | None | Return the hue and saturation color value (float, float).
| hs_color | tuple | None | Return the hue and saturation color value (float, float). This property will be copied to the light's state attribute when the light's color mode is set to `COLOR_MODE_HS` and ignored otherwise.
| is_on | bool | bool | Returns if the light entity is on or not.
| max_mireds | int | int | Return the warmest color_temp that this light supports.
| min_mireds | int | int | Return the coldest color_temp that this light supports.
| rgb_color | tuple | None | Return the rgb color value (int, int, int).
| rgbw_color | tuple | None | Return the rgbw color value (int, int, int, int).
| rgbww_color | tuple | None | Return the rgbww color value (int, int, int, int, int).
| rgb_color | tuple | None | Return the rgb color value (int, int, int). This property will be copied to the light's state attribute when the light's color mode is set to `COLOR_MODE_COLOR_RGB` and ignored otherwise.

| rgbww_color | tuple | None | Return the rgbww color value (int, int, int, int, int). This property will be copied to the light's state attribute when the light's color mode is set to `COLOR_MODE_COLOR_RGBWW` and ignored otherwise.
| supported_color_modes | list | None | Flag supported color modes.
| supported_features | int | int | Flag supported features.
| white_value | int | None | Return the white value of this light between 0..255. This is deprecated and will be removed in Home Assistant 2021.10.
| xy_color | tuple | None | Return the xy color value (float, float).
| xy_color | tuple | None | Return the xy color value (float, float). This property will be copied to the light's state attribute when the light's color mode is set to `COLOR_MODE_COLOR_XY` and ignored otherwise.
## Color Modes
| Constant | Description
|----------|-----------------------
| `COLOR_MODE_UNKNOWN` |
| `COLOR_MODE_UNKNOWN` | The light's color mode is not known.
| `COLOR_MODE_ONOFF` | The light can be turned on or off. This mode must be the only supported mode if supported by the light.
| `COLOR_MODE_BRIGHTNESS` | The light can be dimmed. This mode must be the only supported mode if supported by the light.
| `COLOR_MODE_COLOR_TEMP` | The light can be dimmed and its color temperature is present in the state.

| `COLOR_MODE_RGBWW` | The light can be dimmed and its color is present in the state as an (r, g, b, cw, ww) tuple (not normalized for brightness).
| `COLOR_MODE_XY` | The light can be dimmed and its color is present in the state as an (x, y) tuple (no brightness).
Note that in color modes `COLOR_MODE_RGB`, `COLOR_MODE_RGBW` and `COLOR_MODE_RGBWW` there is brightness information both in the light`s `brightness` property and in the color.
Note that in color modes `COLOR_MODE_RGB`, `COLOR_MODE_RGBW` and `COLOR_MODE_RGBWW` there is brightness information both in the light's `brightness` property and in the color.
If the light is in mode `COLOR_MODE_HS`, `COLOR_MODE_RGB` or `COLOR_MODE_XY`, the light's state attribute will contain the light's color expressed in `hs`, `rgb` and `xy` color format. Note that information is lost when the light is in mode `COLOR_MODE_RGB` as `hs` and `xy` don't hold brightness information.
If the light is in mode `COLOR_MODE_RGBW` or `COLOR_MODE_RGBWW`, the light's state attribute will contain the light's color expressed in `hs`, `rgb` and `xy` color format. The color conversion is an approximation done by adding the white channels to the color.

Note that there's no `color_mode` passed to the `async_turn_on` method, instead only a single color is allowed.
Colors in the service call will be translated before the entity's `async_turn_on` method is called if the light doesn't support the corresponding color mode:
| Color type | Translation
|--------------|-----------------------
| color_temp | Not translated, will be passed as is even if not supported by the light.
| hs_color | Will be removed from the service call if not supported and translated to `rgb_color`, `rgbw_color`, `rgbww_color` or `xy_color` if supported by the light.
| rgb_color | Will be removed from the service call if not supported and translated to `rgbw_color`, `rgbww_color`, `hs_color` or `xy_color` if supported by the light.
| rgbw_color | Not translated, will be passed as is even if not supported by the light.
| rgbww_color | Not translated, will be passed as is even if not supported by the light.
| hs_color | Will be removed from the service call if not supported and translated to `hs_color`, `rgb_color`, `rgbw_color` or `rgbww_color` if supported by the light.
