Setup

To set up your Cree Connected LED Smart Bulb, you will need a compatible ZigBee certified hub (e.g., Wink, SmartThings, WeMo, or Alexa devices with built-in ZigBee hub like Echo Plus, Echo Studio, Echo Show 2nd Gen).

  1. Install the Bulb: Screw the Cree Connected LED bulb into a standard E26 light socket. Ensure the power to the fixture is off before installation.

  3. Power On the Bulb: Turn on the power to the light fixture. The bulb should light up. Your hub should detect and pair with the bulb automatically. A successful pairing is often indicated by the bulb blinking twice.
  4. Download and Launch App: Download the applicable app for your chosen hub (e.g., Wink app, SmartThings app, Alexa app) on your iOS or Android device. Launch the app and follow the on-screen instructions to add and configure your new bulb.
  5. Name Your Bulb: Once paired, you can name your bulb within the app for easy identification and control (e.g., "Living Room Lamp," "Kitchen Light").

Maintenance

The Cree Connected LED Smart Bulb requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

  • Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is cool and the power is off before cleaning. Wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: If storing the bulb for an extended period, keep it in its original packaging or a protective container in a cool, dry place.
  • Avoid Overheating: Do not install the bulb in enclosed fixtures or areas with poor ventilation, as this can lead to overheating and reduce its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Cree Connected LED Smart Bulb, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible Cause / Solution
Bulb does not light up.
  • Ensure the light fixture is receiving power.
  • Check if the bulb is screwed in properly.
  • Test the bulb in a different working fixture.
Bulb does not pair with the hub.
  • Ensure your hub is in discovery mode before powering on the bulb.
  • Move the bulb closer to the hub during pairing.
  • Perform a factory reset on the bulb (refer to the "Resetting the Bulb to Factory Defaults" section in Setup).
  • Verify your hub is ZigBee certified and compatible with Cree Connected bulbs.
Bulb does not turn off completely (faint glow).
  • This can sometimes occur with certain electrical wiring or dimmer switches. Ensure you are not using a traditional wall dimmer. Control the bulb's on/off state solely through the smart app or hub.
Bulb comes on at full brightness after being manually switched off and on.
  • This is expected behavior when power is cut and restored via a physical switch. For consistent smart control and dimming memory, always turn the bulb on/off via the app or voice commands, not the physical switch.
Bulb loses connection or is unresponsive.
  • Check your Wi-Fi network and hub's internet connection.
  • Power cycle the bulb (turn off power at the switch for 10 seconds, then turn back on).
  • Ensure the bulb is within range of your ZigBee hub.
  • Restart your smart home hub.
