:description: Instructions for setting up binary ON/OFF lights in ESPHome.
:image: lightbulb.png
The ``binary`` light platform creates a simple ON/OFF-only light from a
:ref:`binary output component <output>`.

# Example configuration entry
light:
- platform: binary
name: "Desk Lamp"
output: output_component1
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the light.
- **output** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the
binary :ref:`output` to use for this light.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- **effects** (*Optional*, list): A list of :ref:`light effects <light-effects>` to use for this light, though binary lights
only support very few of them.
- **internal** (*Optional*, boolean): Mark this component as internal. Internal components will
not be exposed to the frontend (like Home Assistant). Only specifying an ``id`` without
a ``name`` will implicitly set this to true.
- If MQTT enabled, all other options from :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
