## Light effects
The LIFX platform supports several light effects. You can start these effects with default options by using the `effect` attribute of the normal [`light.turn_on`]({{site_root}}/components/light/#service-lightturn_on) service, for example like this:
```yaml
automation:
- alias: ...
trigger:
# ...
action:
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.office, light.kitchen
effect: lifx_effect_breathe
```
However, if you want to fully control a light effect, you have to use its dedicated service call, like this:
```yaml
script:
colorloop_start:
alias: 'Start colorloop'
sequence:
- service: light.lifx_effect_colorloop
data:
entity_id: group.livingroom
brightness: 255
period: 10
spread: 30
         change: 35
```
The available light effects and their options are listed below.
### {% linkable_title Service `light.lifx_effect_breathe` %}
Run a breathe effect by fading to a color and back.
| Service data attribute | Description |
| ---------------------- | ----------- |
| `entity_id` | String or list of strings that point at `entity_id`s of lights. Else targets all.
| `color_name` | A color name such as `red` or `green`.
| `rgb_color` | A list containing three integers representing the RGB color you want the light to be.
| `brightness` | Integer between 0 and 255 for how bright the color should be.
| `period` | The duration of a single breathe.
| `cycles` | The total number of breathes.
| `power_on` | Set this to False to skip the effect on lights that are turned off (defaults to True).
### {% linkable_title Service `light.lifx_effect_pulse` %}
Run a flash effect by quickly changing to a color and then back.
| Service data attribute | Description |
| ---------------------- | ----------- |
| `entity_id` | String or list of strings that point at `entity_id`s of lights. Else targets all.
| `color_name` | A color name such as `red` or `green`.
| `rgb_color` | A list containing three integers representing the RGB color you want the light to be.
| `brightness` | Integer between 0 and 255 for how bright the color should be.
| `period` | The duration of a single pulse.
| `cycles` | The total number of pulses.
| `power_on` | Set this to False to skip the effect on lights that are turned off (defaults to True).
### {% linkable_title Service `light.lifx_effect_colorloop` %}
Run an effect with colors looping around the color wheel. All participating lights will coordinate to keep similar (but not identical) colors.
| Service data attribute | Description |
| ---------------------- | ----------- |
| `entity_id` | String or list of strings that point at `entity_id`s of lights. Else targets all.
| `brightness` | Number between 0 and 255 indicating brightness of the effect. Leave this out to maintain the current brightness of each participating light.
| `period` | Duration (in seconds) between the start of a new color change.
| `change` | Hue movement per period, in degrees on a color wheel (ranges from 0 to 359).
| `spread` | Total hue covered by participating lights, in degrees on a color wheel (ranges from 0 to 359).
| `power_on` | Set this to False to skip the effect on lights that are turned off (defaults to True).
