We introduce Tap4Light, an interaction technique for controlling smart lighting systems with finger tapping gestures captured with a five-finger augmentation device. Tap4Light employs simple tap input that, when combined across all of the five fingers of the hand, enables a rich gesture vocabulary for controlling applications, systems, and services in the context of Ambient Intelligence environments. Our demonstration of Tap4Light includes:

• A set of eleven tap gestures for interaction;
• The use of the Tap Strap 2 wearable device;
• Integration with Philips Hue smart lamps.
