Maintenance
The arteco GU10 Smart LED Bulb is designed for long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal operation:
- Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is cool and powered off before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting
- Q: Is a hub required to connect the downlight?
- A: The WiFi version does not require a hub. The eWelink Zigbee version requires a Zigbee 3.0 Gateway connection. Please use it with a compatible Zigbee hub.
- Q: Does it work with Alexa / Google Home?
- A: Yes, it is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Yandex Alice for easy voice control.
- Q: If the light has been powered off by the wall switch, will it retain its settings when power back on?
- A: Yes, the light will keep the setting as before due to its memory function.
- Q: Can this be used manually (without WiFi) with a dimmer switch?
- A: When there is no Internet connection, the eWelink app can control the light bulb through a Bluetooth signal, allowing for manual dimming and other controls.
- Q: The bulb is not connecting to the network or blinking rapidly.
- A: Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. Try resetting the bulb by turning it ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON (with 2-second intervals) until it blinks rapidly, then attempt pairing again.
- Q: My Zigbee bulb is not working with Tuya/Smart Life.
- A: The Zigbee version of this bulb is designed for eWelink Zigbee gateways and specific third-party hubs (e.g., Amazon Echo Plus, Smartthings). It is not compatible with Tuya or Smart Life platforms.
User Tips
- For the Zigbee version, always ensure you have a compatible Zigbee 3.0 hub (like Amazon Echo Plus, Echo Show (2nd Gen), Echo 4th gen, Studio, Echo Show 10, or a Smartthings bridge) for full functionality.
- The bulb's memory function ensures that your preferred settings are retained even after a power cycle from a wall switch.
- If your internet connection is down, you can still control the WiFi bulb via the eWelink app using Bluetooth, allowing for basic functions like dimming.
- When setting up, make sure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, as the bulbs do not support 5GHz networks.
