Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is powered off and cool before cleaning. Wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the bulb's surface or internal components.
• Storage: If storing the bulb for an extended period, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Safety: Always turn off the power to the light fixture before installing, removing, or cleaning the bulb to prevent electric shock.

Troubleshooting

• Bulb not pairing:
  • Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
  • Make sure the bulb is powered on and in pairing mode (OFF then ON once).
  • Bring your smartphone closer to the bulb during the pairing process.
  • Check if the bulb is already paired to another device. If so, unpair it first.
  • Restart the BroadLink BLE app.
• Remote/Voice Control not working:
  • Verify that the BroadLink Mini Hub GW4C is properly set up, powered on, and connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
  • Ensure the hub is within effective range of the bulbs.
  • Check your internet connection.
  • Confirm that your BroadLink account is correctly linked with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
• Lights flickering or unresponsive:
  • Check the power supply to the light fixture.
  • Restart the bulb by turning it off and on at the wall switch.
  • If using a dimmer switch, ensure it is compatible with smart bulbs or remove it, as smart bulbs are generally not designed for external dimmers.

  • Update the BroadLink BLE app to the latest version.
  • Restart your smartphone.

User Tips

• For optimal performance and access to the latest features, always keep your BroadLink BLE App updated.
